Same goes for any geeky hobby really, not just video games. If you substitute anime or sci fi or train sets, this video works just as well.
I agree with everything he said. I'm happy to say that I do have a balance, and that the technology I use improves my social life and gives me opportunities to socialise IRL.
I can relate to this video. I used to game too much, but I have it balanced out... With work school CET and Social life... However I fan say that work has consumed most of my social life du to me having to work most Saturday nights>.>
ah wells. I agree with what he says, if I wasn't a gmaer then I wouldn't of met any of you ^^
I guess i can relate, i may not play games all the time but i sit in the forums and talk about the games all the time, but i like to be apart of the community and play with friends.
I'm not like these gamers that all they do is play single player for hours on end and have no friends what so ever. Some people just don't know when to stop and put other things first.
I agree with him as well, computer games used to cause a lot of problems for me.
Video games are an addiction like many other things and it probably has caused more bad than good in the world, but I can't imagine the world without video games.
The best thing that we can do is try to find a balance
I've seen this video a few months ago & of course it made me think A LOT about what I'm doing with my life sitting in front of the computer. Though I have lost opportunities in life, the situation I'm in now (Living in a small town where you don't know anyone & no one knows you) My only choice for socializing is through the computer or hanging out with my best friend & meeting his friends. I am, however, making time for hobbies away from the computer.
hmmm i thought i was gaming too much at one point, though these holidays i have had about four days that i have had nothing on (and i have the sunburn to prove it) with friends and all, i used to spend all my hours as a kid playing but now its a more of a hobby, and the hours i do play its with friends on minecraft or cod4 so it is a social experience.
