Have games ever brought problems to your life?

 

These can be bad grades, isolation, etc

Hi, guys! I'm finally back! Hope you missed me!

I did, the polls were never the same without you. Mushy-talk aside, games have lead to long arguments between me and many people i care for but its never something i can't solve. 

Yep, I played I.5 last night instead of studying for the exam I have today...whoops

Yes, I used to spend too much time playing video games. I rarely had time to do anything else, neither did I want to. 

I played PS3 KH:COM before my exam, my mom get angry to me, -denied from the ps3 for 3 week.

Playing sometimes takes away time I should be studying, I still do pretty well at school.

Mostly pokemon when i was losing interest in it at age 14.....lots of drama and nightmares i didn't really need lol even if it was only for like a month and never really faised my opinion in the series that much.

 

 

.....

Actually, maybe sonic, too. I feel part of why that whole peta thing got to me so much was my obsession with the sonic games......maybe o_o;;;

 

But, again, apperently, didn't really faise my good opinions on the games. Sonic has awesome characters, anyways~

 

I'm not nearly as big a gamer these days (busy with class and other things I want to do), but a significant number of my childhood problems stemmed from playing video games instead of

 

1: learning to socialize with most of my peers, and getting basic people skills and maturity that really would've come in handy

2: studying and going beyond the bare minimum, a habit that took great effort to unlearn later in life, and

3: obtaining other interests so my fellow students wouldn't tease me for being such a degenerate who can't talk about anything other than Sonic or Final Fantasy

 

And seeing as how my parents at the time were more inclined to nag/do nothing instead of actually parenting, video games just happened to be the catalyst that had made me such an incompetent blob.

Kinda. I get addicted easily and spend too much time on them and end up neglecting my studies and other important things.

Yeah a majority of my problems (I don't want to talk about them) are resulting because of video games but they are something i really enjoy. 

The Halo series

 

I used to love this series until my brothers got addicted to it and Halo took them away from me in terms of gaming

 

All of what they think about is Halo and they measure everything they play by how Halo-esque the game they play and they used to mock me for playing Final Fantasy,Pokemon,Mario.....etc

 

 

And the worst part about it is....when we play an offline multiplayer match they set it on over 300 points with some multiplyers but one match with them takes THREE FREAKIN HOURS!!!! And you can imagine how bored I got 

 

They stopped playing with me for a while because I wasn't as skilled as they were in that stupid series .....until their Xbox Live Gold subscribtion expired and they didn't havce enough money to renew it.....then they came back to play Mario Kart and Smash Bros with me after THREE YEARS FOR THEM WITH NOTHING BUT HALO STANDING BETWEEN ME AND THEM

Leo , welcome back ! 

 

As for the poll , nope , games have not brought problems to my life . 

video games have made me so happy in life but i cant deny how much time i spent on them over more important things. but over all video games have made me who i am today and i really dont think i could be "me" without them. they have brought a lot more good into my life than bad.

For me they brought problems in school only really...  :ohmy:

Other than making some decent dents in my bank account, not really.

When I first really got into playing CoD and stuff online with my mates I started to stay up all night and then sleep in and turn up at school half way through the day.

Do kinky sex games in the bedroom count? I've been kicked out and banned from Amsterdam because of them.Otherwise no.

I did, the polls were never the same without you.

 

 

As for the subject, no I can't really say games have ever negatively effected my life.

Oh dont be sad! its just i've taken part in his polls ever since i joined the site. Your polls were good too.

I was addicted to World of Warcraft which made me fall behind in my grades through out middle school, I also never got enough of sleep and stayed up till 5am playing it.

Kingdom hearts brought me to this site which is a problem... jk (partly)

 

Besides staying up all night on some weekends, no I don't think games have brought me any problems.

Well I mean, I have lost a few friends over Monopoly, but that's a different story.

Nope.

LOL yes, because my dad buys them then tells me i play to much

Gahhhhh, it's incredibly painful to admit, but the second one. Only now in the twilight years of my school life have I realized what I was missing.

Yes. KH3, because it won't firetrucking come out. I'm a real mess.

Pokemon X and Y released during my exams last year.... 'Nuff said.
