Do you play too many Video Games?

[Buizel91]

Just clicked on Yahoo and found this very interesting article.

http://uk.videogames.games.yahoo.com/blog/article/15357/

It gives 10 most common side-affects of playing video games... non of it really affects me apart from maybe 4...i know that will affect A LOT of people here. hehe =)

So do any affect you?

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Firstly it's "too many". Secondly, probably only number 4.

 

[Corpse XxX]

Maybe number 6, especially if people do it on purpose just to fuck with you if there is a difficult part in game you tried many times to overcome..

Also, if someone says "its just a game" in a tiny little screechy voice when trying to overcome said difficult part in game.. RAGE!

"Any of this apply to you? Any other symptoms you?d care to share with your fellow gamer?"
NO!

Is this what they think a gamer are?

 

[Betancore]

Only a few of them apply to me. My haircut is more influenced by Major Kusanagi, rather than a video game character. I always thought the main sign was when you had calluses in tell-tale places on your hands. Or you place your left hand down on a table and it automatically takes the position of WASD.

1, 4, 6, 7 and 10.

Yeah I didn't need this to tell me I play a few too many games.

 

[Dark Knifer]

I don't really have many of these. Maybe a little bit of 4 and 6, but the rest of the list nope.

 

[Okuu_Fusion]

1, 3, 4, 6, 9(Zombies instead)...

Wish I could add 7...

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Nope, none of these apply to me. Mostly because I've recently been playing too much Pokemon, which is just one video game...

 

[WelshDanny]

I do not. I can barely fit a few hours a night in around work.

 

[NoNameMcgee]

None of them apply to me. I'm not very 'hardcore'

 

[Lullabye]

1,4,6,9 and 10.
But I didn't need some list to tell me I played too many games.

 

[Aux]

None of those apply to me.

0.5+0.5. Two are close, not exactly, i.e. I think it would be cool to be sam fisher, I don't think I could, and I defenitly don't plan to try. Also I get light game rage, not when people go between me and the screen, but when they are activly trying to annoy me. Usually that doesn't bother me, only while playing. Not allways either, just during something I failed at 100 times before, something really intense, etc.

4.

I don't have Gaming Addictions.

[Eduku]

Hm, probably only no. 6. I hate getting interrupted in the middle of an intense Street Fighter match or something. Maybe 10 as well, I do tend to play a round too many before I call it a day (or night, or whatever).

 

[CrashBang]

4, 6 and 10
...definitely 10

Number 3 on Saints Row 2.

Gave me an idea for a movie.

I can survive on Cola for 24 hours anyway.
