This article is about a guy that is "addicted" to the video game World of Warcraft.
I cannot think of much that would identify someone as a total loser than someone that sits on their tail playing a fantasy game for 12+ hours. Just go on buy a shot gun and 1 shell.
Wasting time playing those games is one of the dumbest things anyone can get into.
Absolute idiocy. Nothing comes from it. It's not real. Requires no effort,you get no benefit at all in the end. Heck even spending time watching movies is better because on some level real people are acting, video games are 100% made up fantasy.
One of my best friend's brother suffered a divorce because he was gaming too much. Learned his lesson.

Imagine a crazy-intense movie, something like Saving Private Ryan. Now, imagine you could actually go onscreen and take part in the D-Day invasion, talking with your buddies, saving lives, etc. with graphics that look as real as any of the best CGI out there.
That is a video game.
And, to the OP, yes, they are for losers. The fear of getting hooked is why I don't let my kids have them.
As running also attracts addictive personalities, I can assure you that this board is rife with gamers.

Not a gamer here but I know several runners who are. Most of them are not losers in any sense. It's just another way to blow off some steam and I think is probably a better use of time than watching TV. (Which is what I do. Maybe I'm the loser. Oh well!)
Don't tell me how to spend my time. I work full time, run about 50 miles per week and own a house. If I choose to play video games for a period a couple times a week, what is the harm? I know it "accomplishes" nothing, but neither does checking and posting on this message board.
Everything in moderation.

Video games are a much better use of your time than this message board. Both will result in excessive sitting around and violent thoughts. And both are for entertainment purposes only. But at least in the video game you can potentially win or reach some sort of goal. And look at colors other than yellow and white.

Actually you can learn a lot by reading the message board if u chose the right threads. All you learn from a game is how to use a controller and sit on a couch.
And yes, moderation is they key. I really wouldn't fault anyone for spending a few hours a week jerking around on an xbox, but to spend endless hours at a time on it... LOSER!!!!!!!

I've never harbored violent thoughts after reading this board. To each their own, I guess.

If daytime tv has taught us anything is that people will become "addicted" and develop compulsions for all kinds of stuff, but running is real. When you go for a run that REALLY happens, you really sweat, the rain REALLY falls on you, etc..
Video games are not real, other than that you are really just sitting on your couch.

Why is doing something being real any better than doing something virtually?

Wow, I'm thinking it might be time to actually find a REAL girlfriend. Holy wow.
If you have to ask that you are too far gone to understand.
Dont make any of your virtual gfs mad while you play in your virtual fball game
Well, also hobby joggers that hurt themselves badly because they run too much are big losers.
International 2016 gaming competition had over 20 MILLION DOLLARS in prize money.
2016 IAAF Diamond League less than 7 million dollars prize money.
I game in my spare time, its a nice way to unwind and chill, and you can do it with your friends.
