Ovioiously we all play video games cause were here right? But I've had some thoughts about letting it all go. I'll explain.

I used to be a video game dork when I was in middle school...everyday after school I'd play some Snes game like Mortal Kombat 2, Killer Instinct or Chrono Trigger. Now I loved video games, I was big into EGM back in the days they had Sushi X and I miss the underground way games were perceived.

Then Sony hit the scene.....Sony hit the scene like a tidal wave. They took the image of video games and put it in a MTV hip hop concept. All of a sudden it was cool to play video games and I was very surprised how gaming changed. I had 5 games stores to goto in Florida now, but 3 years before there was one...and it sucked.

All of a sudden no one cared about fun games, no one cared about 2d (even though 2d still has alot of life still in it!). Every game now was 3d, and well, most of them sucked horribly. I got to a point in High School where I got tired of gaming and I just stopped playing one day. After that my life changed completly.....I lost 60 pounds and I started hanging out with the "Bad Kids". I was poor, so I fit in better with these kids and most of them just did drugs and never played games. Now alot of people have bad experiances with drugs...but I've gotten as far up in the drug chain you can get in Florida (Save this for another time), and to be honest....It was the best time in my life. People have reasons for hating drugs and I respect that, I've dated a girlfriend for 3 years who hasnt done a single drug. She hates my stories of the past and I dont really tell them any more.

I'm now 24, I wiegh 250 pounds and I have no clue how I even got there. I make $40,000 a year working at G.E. and I have a pretty good sized game collection. I've settled down. But once in a while I think about when I was 19, 170 pounds, gunnrunning, drug smuggling and loving life. I was alive and I never sat inside for more than a minute. I was always moving, never stopping, but now I work, go home and play games and sleep. I feel my life slipping away from me. I'm too comforible....what the hell is happening? Arent I supposed to be happy I'm not starving anymore? Arent I suppossed to be happy to be comfortable?

Does any one else feel this way? Like they're TOO confortable.....not really "hungry" for anything anymore? I feel games make me dosile as a hindu cow.

I'm thinking of letting go.....anyone have any suggestions?
 
Play very few games. Its easier and more exciting to play sequels to games you already played (aside from Mario cause millions more of games with him are gonna come out). Aside from Metroid Prime 2 and Metal Gear 3, there isnt any other game I have gotten (and played) since FFX-2.
Though of course its a hard strategy and I dont follow it.
 
Yeah.

Stop thinking that you're too good for games because they're popular. If you go back to drug running and gun running and whatever, I hope you get arrested. You'd deserve it.
 
[quote name='Scorch']Yeah.

Thanks man, I'm kinda pouring my heart out on the table here....and you're being, well....Scorch. You missed the point completely....but you're so sensitive about everything working against you in your life you take it out on every post added to the page. I joke around alot on this page, but you're just a sad fucking ass.
 
I never feel that way.

Maybe that's because I just don't have the time to play many games. Try just limiting yourself to an hour a day, find some people who share your other interests and start acting on those. There really is no two ways about it. I wouldn't give up games for good, but I would seriously consider limiting yourself.
 
No need to turn back to a life of crime and drugs to have fun. Fun can be had other ways that are not illegal and possibly death inducing. Take a break from games and find another more active hobby to pass the time with, like a sport of some sort.
 
I gave up video games for 4 straight years while I was in college.

Best decision I ever made.
 
[quote name='Scorch']Yeah.

Oh and the Drugrunning peice....I condenced alot of back story thinking that most people wouldnt read anything more than 4 full paragraphs. I was fucking 17-20 years old and broke as fuck. I wanted to have the things other people did so I took a quick and easy route because, well...I was fucking 19.

When I got 20, I gave up the game and decided that this is it. I started playing games again because I had trouble finding a job. Now, I've worked really fucking hard to get to where I am....but I just feel like life is more a waiting game than a hustling game like it once was. I miss the life, but I'm too old to be back in the game, plus...I havent even smoked weed in 3 years....and I used to deal much worse. Now I never dealt to kids and I realize some people just hate shit like that and I respect that. I've repented and found God in the meantime and I never killed anyone so I dont care for anyone preachy shit.

I'm just looking for a way to balance this shit, cause I feel like I'm spreading into a game playing blob....
 
A bit of an aside here, but I don't think you can really blame your weight and lack of exercise on games. Did your weight loss happen before or after the shift to drugs? Generally drug users are prone to lose weight and keep skinny, then gain it back when they get off of them (like cigarette smokers do).

I'm an avid gamer, and do much the same you do except that four times a week I get my ass in the gym and work out really hard. I'm in the best shape of my life and still play games for 15 or so hours per week. The solution to your problem is not to quit gaming, it's to get off your damn ass once in a while and do other things as well. Suck it up and make a conscious decision to do something active.

Whatever man, you're gonna be you if you are watching TV, reading, sleeping, playing games, or doing whatever it is you do. Get off your ass and work out. Get out of the house once in a while. You do have free will. I hate when people blame their addiction on their medium not themselves.

Food doesn't make you fat, you eating too much of it does. There is nothing wrong with games, just don't play them so much you lose your life.

Enjoy life more. Games are a great hobby. No need to quit.

As for the whole gun running thing? You gotta be joking man. You sound like a pathetic wanna be gansta. Running your guns and drugs somewhere in middle america...bangning in Little Rock. Get the hip-hop dreams outta your head. You're not 2-Pac and you'll never be.

Kids from the real streets don't choose that life-style for the hell of it. Stupid corn fed white boys who wanna play tough guy do. If you were so poor, how did you afford all your guns. Look at you, you have a $40K job at GE. You are doing better than most real gangsters. Its all fun and games till you get locked up dawg.

Grow up man. Learn to be a man and put that childish stuff behind you. Take that money you are making and go back to school. Become a game designer. Make the games you wanna play. 2-D ones with all the little homies with guns.

Good luck man.

Good Advice, kind of a dick about it....but good advice nonetheless. I've just gotten really confortable working at a sit down job and I'm easily distracted. I'm just thinking cold turkey could be a good thing....but I wanted to hear other peoples opinions.

I'm not going to crap on you or anything, but being 19 is no fucking excuse to start that stuff.

I hope I never feel the way you do, although I have almost zero time to play games these days and have thought if it was worth buying games still that I can't play yet. I came to the conclusion that hell yeah it's fucking worth it cause I will have time again at some point and I don't want to miss out on all the good games that came out while I was in playing limbo. (MGS 3, SMT: Nocturne, Katamary Damacy, Paper Mario 2 etc.).

Gaming is not your life. Start to do other stuff and keep gaming when you can and things will probably get better.

I have a job, a girlfriend, take extra classes, and play videogames, yet still I workout at least 3 times a week. Make an agenda and stick to it, and get yourself organized. Nobody can take the initiative for you ... you just need to get up off your lazy ass and do it.

Actually, I joke around every bit as much as you, it just doesn't come off well on the board. I'm at the same point in life where you are, I don't find games to be all that fun - as you said, I could sit down for hours and play Chrono Trigger or Final Fantasy.. these days I'm lucky if a game holds my attention for half an hour. I go out, come home and sleep. However, due to recent personal circumstances, I've lost the will to look for a job, get to class on time, and even eat. I've dropped 50 pounds since July. I'm sorry if my post came across as flaming.. I'm sure it did. I wasn't serious in saying that I hope you get arrested.. I mean, yeah, you'd deserve to, but I wouldn't hope for it. I collect games and I play them when I get a chance, but I haven't sat down (aside from Halo 2 and Half-Life 2) with a game and played it for many hours in a long, long time. My weight loss has been affecting my health and I'm actually on some colon pills because my colon spams every time I eat since it's not used to food. It's sad, but I keep going.. my purpose will be served.. eventually.

Wow, that was like.. really deep for a game message board.

That makes sense.....I've never had an ability to buy games at full price/new before and it was kind of a shock for me to be able to do that. I think I've just gotten wrapped up in the ability to do so. Now let just get something clear as well....I only play 15-20 hours a week at most. I work 9-10 hours a day...but I usually just talk to you guys. But I cant really work out at work.
 
Just from looking at this topic, I can see a problem. Two users try to help you, and sure they were harsh (this is a serious situation, so expect strong answers), but you got pissed at them.

Just relax, and try to find out what you think your purspose in life is. Once you think you know what it is, pursue it 'till you die. It's always good to have a back-up plan ;-)
 
Hey man, I live in Florida and work for a GE also. What plant / area you work in? I'm in Pensacola working for Wind Energy. I figure you're not one of my coworkers, because I know all of the 24 year old, 250 pound, ex gunrunning, videogaming reformed drug users. By the way, I know how you feel, as working for the ol meatball just barely gives me enough time to see my family, let alone play any games.

I work at G.E. FANUC in Charlottesville,VA. And I used to live in Ocala/Gainesville,FL.....
 
To the OP - It sounds to me like you might have some depression going on there. Maybe you should go talk to someone and things might get better.
 
I can feel where your coming from. Alot of times dreams and hopes are your reason for living then you reach that goal and its like....meh. You just gotta realize that you always take what you have for granted and that things are always best when you you can think about when they were worse. You remeber the fun parts but you dont think about how your stomach felt, how tiring it could get things like that. Just think about it like this, would you rather be comfortable in the past and starving in the future or would you rather it be the way it is now

Remember, I was an Ex-Dealer...who had 2 best-friends die, lost love of his life (I actually still think about her everyday, 5 years later) and had no real job experiance. When your 20-21 looking for your first job in 3-4 years people really look at you funny. I know what its like to be down and out, but this is your chance to go to the next step in any direction you like.

When you get to a bottom, there's nowhere else to go....just make sure you dont get confortable along the way to places in life you've never been, cause then you're where I am right now. I've just never earned my way to this before...and it feels wierd to afford food so I gorge.

Don't be a Wes. (Thats me, by the way)

So you think your the loser that people think gaming nerds are? Well lets see:

You are on a GAMING WEBSITE, but that really isn't very solid
you weigh over 220.... gaming nerds are liek 350...
You play games... THE HORROR!!!
you make 50 grands.... THAT ALOT FOR SOMEONE WHOS SUPPOSED TO LIVE IN THEIR MOTHERS BASEMENT
you have your own place (I hope)

GAMING is a HOBBY....

Dude, your not a "nerd" but you could be one if you tried...

Look, give up on video games for 3 months... NO CAG, no game sites, no playing, no even goign to the sotres, just ISOLATE it.... not even any G4TECHTV.... then see if you really wanna dump video games.... if you do, sell all your shit on CAG...

I just think of a New World order when I see mood enhancing commercials.

I probably do need to talk to someone.
 
BTW, Mookyjooky, I was trying top be nice.... so don't take it the wrong way... but if you did I could understand since we hate each other... but you did start it...

Good idea, I think you're on to something. But no Morgan Webb....she sounds like a total idiot sometimes, but she's pretty hot....and we share similar intrests! lol

I think that this is a very good concept.....I'm gonna find it hard to leave CAG for 3 months.
 
Coming from someone who used to be glued to a tv, the best thing to do is to take a break from playing games. Don't sell your stuff, don't stop talking to us. Just don't play games. I as a teacher rarely have time unless I am on break. Just take a break, start working out, and alter your diet to low fat foods. That's all the advice I could seriously give you. Also, try to have sex twice a day since it burns 350 calories a pop!

Just because you go talk to someone, it doesn't mean you would have to start taking any drugs. You might just have a mild case which could be treated by just talking with someone once in awhile to put things in perspective.

I'm in a relationship...but it's kinda losing some luster...she's not a junkie whore and that was a huge hurdle to get over.

normal girl.....she actually can love people......norrrrmalllll.

I usually date hot, pink plastic lipstick, too much mascara, pierced clit, spiky haired, totally unhealthly skinny-ness, want to fuck all the time, cheat on me whores....so maybe I should of taken some more time off. lol

When you get to a bottom, there's nowhere else to go....just make sure you dont get confortable along the way to places in life you've never been, cause then you're where I am right now. I've just never earned my way to this before...and it feels wierd to afford food so I gorge.

Don't be a Wes. (Thats me, by the way)[/quote]

The strange thing is, I'm quite content with my life right now. I have absolutely no life whatsoever. I'm going to stop going to school in the spring (because I really, really, really lost the desire) and try to get a full time job, then pick it back up in the fall. I don't stay at home all day - can't stand it here. I get out every night and go somewhere, even if it's down the road, just to get out.. or I have a friend come over. I feel like my life is an episode of Groundhog Day. I miss high school. Oh well.

Sounds like your confortable in your spot and thats cool....try to remember to go back to college one day, me, not having a degree took a $10,000 pay decrease yearly from what I should of got when I got transferred to G.E.

And that is why I fell into drugs....you're probably smarter than I was, but I just wanted to get out and do anything....NO REGRETS. I've got some great stories...I should start telling them...

Dude, you have no idea how un-alone you are on that....I think I would kill someone to be 17 again and in High School.....real life is boring as fuck.

fuck, you said a mouthful right there. I'm in the same place Scorch. School feels almost like a waste of time. Not because I'm unwilling to do the work, I just simply don't know where to start in terms of what I want to do. I know I'm not the exception here, but it doesn't change the fact that figuring it out has been far and away the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life.

I've considered it, but it's not exactly a smart thing to do, especially when your dad's a US Marshall.

shaq-fu, you said a mouthful right there. I'm in the same place Scorch. School feels almost like a waste of time.

That's not really the reason I wish I was in high school still, but it's overwhelming, I agree. With HS, I saw people that I liked, got away with near everything (I mean, honestly, where else can I bring an XBox and play games until sixth period and get an excuse note from my 1st period teacher saying I was helping her out with stuff?), knew what I was doing every day and life was a lot more interesting. I'm not the best in the world at meeting new people.. I have a close circle of friends that I've known for five or more years, then there's some people that I've known for like a year. I registered over at MySpace, I've met and dated a few girls from there, nothing too big.

It's this reason that I hope they don't start drafting, but I have two great excuses. I have asthmetic bronchitis, which is a disqualifying condition of the draft, and I've had major reconstructive surgery done (well, sorta) and I cannot carry or lift anything more than 50 pounds for an extended amount of time or my side gives out.

Who are you talking to?
 
I was in a similar situation as you when I was 18 MookyJooky (I'm 19 now.) I didn't play any games I just went out every night did whatever I did and dropped out of school. But just recently, I've giving up substances and now I am content with staying home after too many bad incidents where I could have gotten really hurt, gone to jail or been killed. I play game,s go to work and sleep. I started going back to school. I go out on the weekends only instead of everyday and I'm fine with it. Sometimes being comfortable isn't as fun as whatever, but its safer for you physically and mentally. Whatever you decide to do I hope the best of luck to you.
