my friend and i saw 2 3rd prestigers and i said they have no life and one of them said that they only play a few hours a day

I hate it when people like you label people that like to play games allot No life's. I play games for 3 hours everyday. I have a life, i go out with friends, i have a job. I enjoy playing video games because i love the rewards you get when playing them, some people just need to understand that just because someone plays video games allot doesn't mean that they automatically have no life. Yeah there's people that have no life and play video games ALOT just don't label everyone that plays more then you a no life.


No im not good at sports i never liked them, mainly because everything id **** up id get bugged about it for the next week or two, I did give almost every sport in the book a chance i even tryed curling and i didnt like it. I still exercise, im not lazy because i cant be with the job that i have. Yeah im a gamer so what? Im 1st prestige 32 and i have a life.

When you say your dad went outside and played with friends, well of course he did. There was no video games, internet, computers, etc. Just a crappy 5 channel T.v.

But I have to completely honest. I'm 1st prestige level 42 on Mw3, and I have no life. This past weekend, I literally stayed inside all weekend. My mom didn't care. She doesn't care what I do. But after realizing by doing, you can eventually, just kill yourself by doing this everyday. Every day I come home from school, I go straight to the Xbox. I feel very ashamed of myself. I always think to my self as I ride the bus home, "do your homework first, before you play video games" and what do you know? I don't do it, I just be no-life and go straight to the video games. I play for 5-6 hours each day after school, staying up till 12-1 am. Then doing my homework after. Yes, I know, I'm very ashamed. My mom and dad don't care what I do, I don't even know why they're my parents, but hey that's life. But I need to start doing more exercising, getting more sun, and what not. I'm just being truthful.

My general statement would be it's probably just how flattering technology could be.
The children/society outside of games sucks d*ck as well. I don't want to be friends with someone if they're ghetto as f*ck and think they're cool. There are people that make fun of me, and there always will be. I just say something that makes them embarrassed, they get sad, and I'm not affected in any way besides being amused.
I find those kinds of people really stupid. What annoys me more is when people try to act like them, and do what others do. It really kills society. I wonder what ever happened to don't judge a book by its cover. You shouldn't have to change people just so they seem amazing and fit in.

Honestly I believe that the only games that have actually caused for disruption are the games that are addicting.
Back in the day (PS2 online) i played Socom 2 with my brother my friends and his friends, afterwards of an hour or so we would go somewhere and hang out or go play soccer. I used to hear about people who went for playing a game for several hours straight and i would say "no life's". Now the average game time a day is about three hours, and people say that that time is extremely low.
What i'm ranting about is games that people play for hours and not get bored, or do get bored and frustrated on a single goal, kids fight constant;y to be the best player. War games like CoD or Battlefield, Halo, and GoW all do these kinds of ridiculous things in multiplayer that cause people to continue playing them such as prestinges(i misspelled it probably) or really high levels. I remember in Socom there was a low amount of levels and how once you reached the top, you played for fun and not to exploit the game or make other people mad.
The biggest problem that games today have done to children is keeping them engaged. Kids have little Homework and no Job or authority to hold up on. They are carefree and enjoy themselves too much on a single thing such as gaming. Kids need not to fallback on video games for greatness or achievement.
Last thing i need to get off my chest is Xbox Live's choice of words. They use achievements as though you accomplished something that everyone in the world will care about. Nobody on my last job interview for a part time job at Academy (only part time because I'm currently still in High School) would even give a dam-n about me beating the newest CoD campaign on veteran or unlocking all the achievements in Halo (FYI i have not done either of those). Xbox's choice of words are thrown too loosely and are giving the mindset to children of accomplishment, yet children do not realize that there is no recognition for what the just "achieved" or should i say "wastement of time".

Anyone else on this topic?
