4700 Hours
4700 hours spent playing video games. Yea, I know. Rookie numbers. But lets get real. That is a lot of time gaming. You could make the argument that I enjoyed those gaming hours, so its all good. But imagine if I put half those hours into something more useful. I think I need to break away and get away fully from gaming. I also tried moderation. It just doesn't work for me. I'm always drawn back to gaming.

Have you counted your gaming hours. How many hours do you have?

Do you agree with the video...

in all honesty you probably have more
When I lived under conditions with no opportunity or safety, I turned to the world of gaming and stayed in it as much as I could.
Now that I have opportunity and things I can go do, gaming is something I just do when I relax instead of watching TV.
Life is the real game with the deepest mechanics and most play through hours.

Ha. I was thinking the same. Watching Let's Plays, watching gaming reviews. Streamers. Also, gaming on the phone. etc. Which I don't do anymore.

Yes! The game of life is so much better.

As for quitting gaming, it depends on the person. Can you put it down and come back a week later? Or are you drawn to gaming. And you can't leave the chair. One more hour. I am not an alcoholic. I can have beer in the my fridge and I won't touch it for weeks. Another person who drinks a lot would probably have that beer drunk in a day easy.

I barely play nowadays. Everything seems so... Mediocre.

Or maybe I've burned myself out of it. Who knows.

It's an okay game, certainly a fun time with pals.

Bro I will never quit gaming. My life is centered around gaming. But too much gaming can get boring and stress us out. You dont have to quit. Life is about balance. Plus any girlfriend would just get mad and leave if all I did was game, I want other things in life too.
I just do something, I work, finish a large errand, or clean the whole house until I am out of energy. Then I sit down and game a long time while I build up that energy back and get bored again. Or if I am cleaning or something, I can play for 20 minutes and get something done in the game, then clean for 20 minutes and get something done in the house while leaving the game running.

Another thing I learned with my age, I been wasting all my years on a large list of games that I rotated through. I feel like because of that, I didnt get far in any of the games, it took up all my time, and when I took a step back alot of the games I played kinda sucked. Our time in life is short and precious. I learned that I dont want to waste it playing any game that didnt spend as much time developing it or just that isnt worthy. I try to keep my list down to one main game, and a few other smaller games just for fun. Its nice to build up that huge empire over years. And its a better balance then just getting bored of a game, and switching to the next cheap game to temporarily occupy my attention.
And this. I am just an old GenXer or whatever you call my age. I dont understand the younger generation. Im not going to pretend to. And I dont know if this will help or not. But for us, as a young man, our motivation was girls. That is why we progressed, so we could get one. Maybe things dont look like they work the same anymore, but they do. The world might change but humans dont. I dont know if this will matter or not, and you likely wont believe me, but you really could very easily be very wealthy in one year and marry anyone you want. Its just about a state of mind. Or dont believe me, doesnt matter to me.
I've been playing games for 39 years. I will never quit. Plus, I like to play poker and slots at casinos, which count as gaming, too.

Gaming makes me happy. Dating and volunteering at charities does not.

Yea but no guy on earth that doesnt have it would be turning it down to play a game unless they are over 60 or already married. Lets be honest. Plus you cant play poker without money.

I dont know what smart thing say, to those who played long hours, I hope they made some friends and have enough savings, now that their youth is gone when they spend them all on video games.

Have you counted your gaming hours. How many hours do you have?

18,286 hours in Civ 5.

NO REGRETS😎
On the other hand, you could've been committing misdemeanors for 4700 hours.

NEED… MORE… HISTORICAL… MEDIEVAL… GAMES…

No I do not, for example, look around me he says and what do you see? Empty energy drink cans and delivery boxes not thrown away, impossible, I never eat or drink at my PC, I always step away from it to take a break. Why would I leave delivery boxes piled up around me? I'm not a hoarder!

He also says when referring to World of Warcraft that 'each day the real world felt less important and gaming became my everything', that's how he views gaming, I don't.

I didn't watch all the video OP, my apologies, I enjoy gaming, but obviously not the extent of some people where it controls every second of their life.

BTW: My laundry is cleaned and dried every time I have a full machine load and never piled up on the floor, that video gives a completely wrong impression of a person that might enjoy gaming, but isn't controlled by it.
