Yea that episode is amazzzzzzzzzingggggg!!!!! I think my roommate liked it too though. He also mightve said something like, "you cant really appreciate that episode, unless you play the game." like he was honored to be made fun of. I think thats bullshit, I appreciated that episode waaaaaaay more than he did, because I could relate to the fact of how ridiculous those gamers lives are.

At least YOUR roommate doesn't rap along to his shitty gangsta rap. While I'm in the room. All the time. ENTHUSIASTICALLY.

Haha, that's a nice thought. Trust me, the gangsta rap is actually one his less annoying traits.

In fact, I think if we combined the two roommates into one person, it would become Richard Simmons.

i play my 360 well over 5 hours a week and believe i have 'a real life'.

when i get home from work i jump on for about 1 hr until my wife gets home then we get things done.

i try to only play when shes not home or when she's asleep.

You say you play for "well over 5 hours a week", but you also say you play for about an hour until your wife gets home, which would be 5 hours exactly.

Unless you are logging more xbox time on weekends.

Hey, if you can balance that out, thats fine.

People have their priorities. Others love Pearl Jam they spend hours listening to it, downloading, watching youtube, collecting... etc.

others spend a LOT of time playing sports, practicing, etc.

Others spend lots of time shopping, others drinking beer and getting high.

Some people prefer to play computer games. THat doesn't make them losers or pathetic. It's what they prefer... it's what they love.

i'd play a game for 1o hours straight if im hooked and i love it. there's no problem to it. i'd prefer to play my favorite games for a whole week than go swimming or partying. being alone does not make me pathetic.

you got every right to vent here, i just wanted to give my opinion that let's not judge computer game addicts here since it is their choice and their life, and maybe for them, you are the one wasting your life.

Well, you've had 23 posts in the past seven days (or 1-2 hours online, as you put it). So that means you either a.) post extremely often and spend almost no time browsing when you're not posting, or b.) are lying.

I see your point. We all have our obsessions. However, I hate to see people who could be socially well-adjusted, shrink into their own little fantasy world and miss out on a lot of great social interaction.....REAL social interaction, because they became obsessed with a game.

Downloading Pearl Jam, well.....I can hit "download" and go play with my dogs, go on a date, have dinner with my family....all while thats taking place.....and although I listen to them alone sometimes, I really pefer to go to concerts to meet other fans, and prefer to listen with friends......

You must be a pretty fast reader too...

Actually, it wouldn't surprise me if you posted 23 posts in 10 minutes. "Quality over quantity" doesn't seem to describe your contribution to the board.

Whatever.

Honestly, I'm not trying to improve the "quality of the board."

That would take a lot more than 5 hours a week.

That would take a miracle.

Have you seen some of the garbage posted here? Like the great, "what are you goign to have for lunch" threads???

Doesnt that just scream, "SOMEBODY PLEASE LISTEN TO ME".

Eh, I'm in a very confrontational mood right now and was just trying to start an argument because the "get a life" comment pissed me off, even though I rarely play video games. It's just that that comment was pretty judgmental.

you're right...

it should have read "i also play when she's asleep"...

which before, was every night...but then i realized the importance of just being around my wife.

anyway, there are times when i play a lot...other times when days go by without touching the thing.

I understand.

I get in that confrontational mood, and this is a good place to release it.

the get a life comment is for anyone who shuts his firneds out and plays 10-12 hours of a video game straight. Yeah, its judgemental. Im judging that that guy is not going to get a girlfriend who is not already an ork or a rogue, or whatever they call girls who play that game.

Its one thing when you and three friends get stoned and play MarioKart for 10 hours because you feel like it one day. (Which I did)

Its another thing when you dont talk to people in real life and spend more of your waking hours interacting in a fantasy world than you do interacting in your real life.

Yeah, I go in spurts. (Thats what she said)

Ill go weeks without playing it, then find myself playing for a few hours at a time.

Then some house project will come calling, and the thing collects dust again.

I was complaining about the fact that his game addiction is greatly effecting the prime of my life, not judging or calling him a loser. Last year this guy was my best friend because I wasnt around him while he played his game, now I am all the time.

I cant have people over in my room without everything being awkward and because I am considerate. When I go out, I cant bring people back to my room to hang out like most people can, I especially cant have any alone time with a female. I most importantly cant study without being annoyed. Im all for him having his time for his game, but I should be allowed time to study without walking to the library far away from things that i like to do while I study.

Also like others said, people that hide in their fantasy worlds and cant interact with real people and if they do they considerate 'awkward' like he does, are losers in many ways.

I used to play The Sims online sooooo much when i was a freshman in high school. I was afraid to interact with new people, so I hid my little virtual sim world. I would say I was a loser, but now Im not and love meeting new people and interacting with anyone with something interesting to say. Its clearly a better, more fulfilling feeling.
