exactly what i was going to say. some people spent hundreds of hours fishing for sport (as opposed to feeding themselves). Same argument of "time wasted" could be leveled against this or any other hobby. bu the way i look at it, its an escape and form of stress reliefOriginally Posted by Fivel
Some times i do but then i think about it and i game to relax and i have fun doing it, so its not that much of a waist of time.
yes i could have done lots of other things but then its a matter of knowing what to do when.
It does not matter what your past time is. There will always be wasted time unfortunately.
Video games are an art form and playing them is art appreciation. For that reason I shy away from a lot of multiplayer games because the art of it all eventually gets taken over by anger, frustration and general human-ness.
Playing through a great story is the pinnacle of gaming and rivals or betters any film or book. Look at Mass Effect, The Witcher, Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption etc etc.
Basically thats what I suggest, put less hours into multiplayer and more into quality story driven games and you will be less likely to feel like you are wasting time.
I do not regret gaming at all. I love what he allows me to do, stuff I would not be able to do in reality, Skyrim, Mass Effect, Doom, Quake, etc. I have an overly active imagination, and games feeds the hunger.
I do not game as much as I did before I got married, but that doesnt bother me, everything comes down to balance. I am also not worried about allowing my son to play, although titles for his age obviously. Like me he seems to have a balance too,
Most important thing about gaming, the ability to respawn...oh and quicksave! Imagine if you could do that in real life....ffs, I'd have a save game right in front of many ppl... *evil grin*
