I don't plan on quitting gaming any time soon, but I know what I'd do with the time if I did. I would write more, both personal and creative writing, and also spend more time drawing and pursuing other types of art.
So, You've Decided to Quit Gaming - Now What?

both of which I'm already doing more of now on average then playing video games

I agree.
If I'd quit video games, I would just go on and try to finish and publish some of my written works. I get caught up with games that I tend to leave some of my works unfinished or continue to rework them to something different. It would effect me too much; just trade one pastime for another.

I would do the usual.
Youtube.
Internet.
Study.
Then one day my best friend would come to kill me...because we said that we would kill each other if we quit gaming.
Don't know if we were serious though. XD

I'd never quit -games- overall. However I am struck by a similar feeling when quitting something like WoW. You've been spending 4-16 hours a day playing this thing, it eats up all your spare time, and suddenly... nothing. A void.
My recourse is to play other games, or perhaps try to get into some show/anime I was lukewarm on in the past. The entire reason a number of people game is that they're introverts. I think 'Well this would be a prime time to join the local Frolf club and volunteer at the Humane Society!' Then I realize it's just not going to happen.

i often border on the edge of this possibility. without my computer, i'd have more time to meditate. but meditation is so damn boring. i'd most likely just end up sleeping till i starved to death. i'd no longer have any reason to be move/be conscious/live.
Read a lot.
Watch a lot of TV.
Actually study for finals--I have really good memory so I don't worry much.
Actually learn how to draw.
Remember to eat lunch on a regular basis.
Go outside.
Hang out with friends more often.

There are also an alarmingly high number of people that simply dive into game design with no knowledge of computer graphics and programming, not to mention various theories of good game design.Alandoril said:
Ultimately, at the end of the day, if you don't have a programmer, you're not going to have a game.
