Why game addict = no life?

**Hessah** · 10-11-2007, 04:24 AM

Just a random idea struck me...

we've heard a lot about ppl calling each other that they have no life when one thinks the other is better than them in a game...
often a string of "you should go get a job, frd, gf, bf, out" follows...
I admit that i've labelled some pro as "no life" as well coz they seem to be playing 24/7

but... why??

just because they spend all their time playing something they enjoy.. why does that make them "no life"? what is life? isnt life about how to live it so u're happy? if they're happy gaming... why not?

gaming too much probably cause them health issues such as lack of vitamin D... but you dont called obesed ppl "no life" (or do u? XD)

wat's wrong with someone doing wat they like and enjoy?

They do have lives, and they're spending it doing what they enjoy. Leave the poor guys alone.

Well I think people who grind 24 hours a day for several days straight are kind of.. >_> yeah. I mean if they like it, then fine, if they don't have anything else to do that's their thing. However, when they act like everybody else who isn't like them are nubs, then they suck. XD I enjoy gaming, but morely the people. I could spend hours online just goofing off in game with people, but grinding is a differentt hing. x.x

That's just my opinion though, I Do think people who grind and nothing else need more tot heir lives >_>

**Hessah** · 10-11-2007, 04:39 AM

i'm sorry.. its just that i hvnt seen u for too long... haha i added the jkjk there on purpose ><

i found my new frd to pick on anyway.. secbro... XD i shall try refrain from picking on u from now on.. (noticed i said TRY)

yeah i know playing 24/7 is wrong.. socially, mentally and probably emotionally and physically too.. but for a weird moment there i thought.. but they're just making themselves happy~

but yeah i guess life is also about exposure...

Everyone has a life. Some do things productive and beneficial later on in life. Some do what they like.

I just dislike it when people are hyprocrites in the game.

Well, people that game for too long is sort of weird though it makes them happy. But you shouldn't let a game take over your life and let your body suffer because of it. Games were made to entertain people in short doses, rather than play 24/7.

Liiiiiiiiiesssss. -coughdotacough-

I remember in high school I get teased for playing online games a lot (I only knew one friend who would play online games with me, but she's into PC games rather than online games). Anyway, those people who tease me about playing games too much just annoys the hell out of me. I've said this before and I'll say it again to anyone who thinks playing games means that you have no life:

The amount of time I spend in front of my computer is the amount of time you spend in front of the television. GET OUT OF MY FACE PLEASE.

Well, no, I wasn't that rude to them, I'd usually just laugh if off. But seriously, games are just a form of entertainment. People sit in front of their tele all day, they don't move around much either, unless they have a habit of running around the house carrying the teevee with them. >_>" Just because their too stupid to operate a computer doesn't mean those who can doesn't have a life.

And c'mon, doing too much of one thing is never good for you. Everyone knows that!

Well my two cents are what some of you have said, which is we have lives but we just spend most of it gaming. Like for me, my end-of-year hols are plain gaming. Except for my trainings that is but then again, my trainings are only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays I'm pretty much playing an MMO, reading a forum, or talking to friends on msn from 7am - 10/11pm/12/1/2/3am.

So yea bottom line: We have lives but we just spend most of it gaming.

Edit: Yea I've been called no-life and have called other people no-life. Maybe it's just an excuse that you're not as good as them in that aspect...
