Again, you're being completely subjectivei dont have a problem with nerds who play videogames instead of having healthy IRL relationships, but the problem arises when these nerds get all high and mighty and think they are somehow better than everyone else because they put more time into a videogame. that i laugh at, and that i make fun of.
regardless of what you think is "normal", and what i think is "normal", there is a difference between "normal" and "healthy". seeing an unhealthy, 90 lb, skinny ass pale white boy sitting on his computer 10 hours a day is not "normal" by any means, regardless of what you or any other fucking dork may think.
You're calling me closed minded? You're a fucking hypocrite.

Again, you're being completely subjective
If the alternative to playing video games is going to the bar 4 times a week... the question is "a healthy lifestyle"?
You're being completely subjective with regards to your definition of "healthy"
If people are introverted and do not need constant social contact and are engergized by being alone, who are you to call them unhealthy? If i had no friends, went to the gym 5x a week and played wow for 4 hours everytime i came home from the gym are you going to call this person unhealthy?
In thruth, the fact that they play a video game doesn't make them unhealthy, it's the fact that they chose to neglect other parts of their lives' that are important. This certainly doesn't include their social lives because many people would much rather be alone, and unless you have some sort of intellectual arguement invalidating introversion i suggest that you cool your jets. Frankly, you sound like an angsty retard that's upset because you couldn't balance your video games with your real life.
dont just call me a hypocrite, at least give me a reason so we can continue the debate
at least the guy at the bar might have, oh, talked to someone else? hit on a girl? got laid maybe? puked, came home, passed out, woke up at 6 in the morning for work? had a story to tell his co-workers and such the next morning?
after typing something like this, it really indicates your inability to grasp the issue or listen to the points that myself and others have made.but you're just sitting there....doing...nothing...for....HOURS...ON....END. at least the guy at the bar might have, oh, talked to someone else? hit on a girl? got laid maybe? puked, came home, passed out, woke up at 6 in the morning for work? had a story to tell his co-workers and such the next morning?
pretty much end of threadI don't see how many hours a day people play a game is anyone's business except those involved.
There's no doubt that some people become anti-social and spend too much time infront of their computers to be healthy, but I fail to see how why anyone should care.
I would work during the summer, so during college I could play many long stints. When i had to study, i studied. When I felt like going out, i went out. The truth is, many people assume that a game makes you addicted and somehow pulls you away from "real life" when in truth many people didn't have a "real life" before the game. Some people are introverted, some people don't get along with people, and some people don't have huge circles of friends.
To make things short, people need to stop using a personal and subjective interpretation of "normality" when looking at other people that may just be different from you and have less important things to worry about.
I play a fraction as much as i used to, and i never felt i didn't have a choice as to when i should play more or less. I know that if i had a job(at the time) and a family and more of my closer friends living near me i probably wouldn't play at all.
Serenity Now's best raid leader is a bitter red-headed angry angry man who logs on late for raids and leaves early very often.bull fucking shit. your guild must suck if you're the raid leader and you only log on 3-4 nights a week. unless you guys raid UBRS or something.
I can't wait for TBC. Casual levelling. Running some 5-man instances with the niggas I've raided with for a long time. Gettin some XP and phat phat lewts and then doing some arenas/25-mans... mmmnI'm definitely looking at cutting back, though, despite the fact that I've pre-ordered the expansion already. I think at least in its current form the expansion might even help me on that front, with its greater emphasis on small-scale content rather than herding 40 terribles into a huge dungeon to try and swat down angry dragons without racking up a three-digit repair bill.
