Gamers

I was listening to this TV show that my parents were watching. This time it's about teenagers that game. It talked about how they play for hours (yea, like 19+ hours). And how parents don't support them but support when the kids play as professional. (Is it because their kids are making money from it? If they don't make money from it, will they still support?) The mom said "they don't listen, so the only way is to support them", hm...I guess?

One gamer said he really like how people praise how good he is when he streams his game. (Who doesn't like to be praised?) Then some gamer said they had to quit professional gaming because later on when they stop playing it's hard to find a job because they won't have other experiences. (I agree. Well, I guess they can find game related jobs?)

I used to game when I was younger because I like the excitement (I get sweaty, nervous, and don't want to die lol). Now I just like to play kiddie games for fun. (I get arg when I don't pass my level or so close to passing) =)

I also know tons of people that game. My brother, brother's friends, a friend and that person. My brother doesn't really play much games now so that's one reason why I don't game. But when they play, they can play for many hours and go crazy. I don't know how they can stay up till like 3 am or later. Well, I think I stayed up till 3am ish before for my dramas and shows lol. But I can't always stay up so late. Plus, it's bad for your health in the long run.

Most of the time when people get older they just game less, it's not because they think gaming are for young people but they just don't have time. Life just gets a little bit crazy when you get older and you are busy everyday. I think I stopped gaming because school just got too crazy for me around grade 9 or 10. I just had to stop and focus on my education. I think I started my kiddie games after I was done uni because I had a bit more time after work.

My brother's friend's wife actually threw her husband's computer down from the second floor so he can't play anymore lol. He was jobless then and he just kept playing for hours. It seemed like he didn't even know he played for a LONG time. She gave him chances but he didn't listen so she threw the computer. *claps* I like that idea! You go girl! But if it's me I would just unplug and hide the computer, don't have to buy a new one later on. Good thing he did start looking for jobs after, at least he cares about her. Not like someone...

So my friend and her boyfriend are gamers. There was a time when she wasn't feeling very well and she even threw up. Her boyfriend just kept gaming and didn't care about her. My reaction...uh...ok...??? I wouldn't want a crazy gamer as a future partner. Some gaming is ok. But if gaming is more important than me, you can live with your game forever, good bye!

I'm not saying gaming is bad, it's a good stress reliever sometimes. I guess it's like everything else, there should be a limit?

How crazy do you game or do you even game?
