I have unlimited lives, and continues. LOL!

Saaking5283d ago

There's much more to life than gaming. Lame article.

Trebius5283d ago

When im not playing video games...i'm playing my Guitar, Longboarding, or reading...

Its all the same...

If you're a gamer hooked on World of Warcraft though, that's a different story...that game sucks the life out of you.

Article does Fail though.

Ridiculous article, how did this get approved.

“we stay home for hours and play video games.” Because if you’re a gamer, you know there is nothing better than having an entire day to just game."

WTF? kouppa is alone on that one.

The_Darkest_Red5283d ago

You're really using the fact that you've had a threesome to prove that you have a life? Kids these days...

I am going to have to ask you, ironically, to get a life.

"How many gamers out there can say that thayve had a threesome? "well i can"

Wotta gay article, im livin proof that (sum) gamers hav lives"

Perjoss5283d ago

@ Hellsvacancy

you know that it does not really count if you had to pay for it right?

Darkstorn5283d ago

While I realize that a lot of gamers do indeed have 'no lives' and play for hours every day of the week, most people I know are able to successfully balance video games with a healthy social life.
I think we all know that if we had been lifting weights instead of playing video games our entire lives, every one of us would be beefy super sculptures of muscle. Yet, games have been a great part of my life, and I want to appreciate them for decades to come.

syanara5283d ago

when im not gaming im working my ass off in the pub lol

NecrumSlavery5283d ago

Two dudes is more of a gay experience than a threesome...lol

but seriously, I'm working fulltime military with a wife and kid. And play a lot if games. But also play guitar, skateboard, watch flicks, music, etc.

Kids on summer vacation playing games all day have no lives. Most people teens and up have lives, families an jobs. Gaming is a healthy hobby of the mind. Well unless youre those kids on YouTube freaking when their parents van them from WOW....that's funny though

hay5283d ago

I would soo love to have no life for some time...

This is defending gamers, not bashing them.

Pretty short article with massive pictures, but well written and gets the point across. I like it. :)

XxZxX5283d ago

who defines how we should live our life. Not even God, God shows us the way, we have to walk it ourself. If Gaming is part of life or our whole life. Let it be. As long as one enjoy themselves and feel comfortable doing it, who are we to judge them.

Gaming is life.-j/k And here come the stupid people.

Darkstorn5283d ago

Meh. Hanging out with my friends is life. Gaming is surely an enjoyable romp, though. Still, to each his own.

Jerk1205284d ago

Just because you have no life doesn't mean that everybody else does.

And just because you enjoy gaming 24/7 doesn't mean that everybody else does too.

Learn to speak for yourself.

Hellsvacancy5283d ago

The articles probably aimin at 360 loyalists

lovestruck065282d ago (Edited 5282d ago )

was gunna put this comment in the gamer zone, but still banned lol for telling turn 10 he had bleeding in the brain if he thought forza three was bettter then gt5 lol i swear the mods on this site senior citizens. i like how the mods deleted his comment cuz he said the evil g word. politically correctness is running rampant these days. the only word i disapprove of is the N word. on topic this article is bunk and it completely is stereotyping gamers. this person is just trying to make it seem like he's a cool person and not a loser cuz his trying generalize all gamers into his category of loser.theyres all kinds of gamers out there just like anything really in life. theres not just one kind of gamer that'd be like saying if u drink once a month ur just as an alcholic as a guy that drinks every day. what a loser. failed attempt at making himself feel normal and seriously people on this site need to chillax and stop being grammar and spelling wh*res. we get it by correcting someones spelling you feel big. do you guys ever think some people really dont care about having perfect grammar. you know what they're saying isnt that what really matters unless u wanna be a douche about it. technically hell vancy or whatever proved that he does have a life cuz he doesnt give a crap about spelling cuz he doesnt want to waste time being OCD and a perfectionist.
also why be so serious about his comment about having a threesome. i give him made props, not many people can handle 1 woman let alone 2 and maybe some of you gamers are to old or have no sense of humour. id probably pull an american pie 1 if i had two girls at one time that be dope tho. still young still time lol:p haha...

also i was hopin mods were gunna delete my account but they didnt. i hate this site even right now im afraid mods are gunna delete my comment. mods are unreal. sometimes i wonder if fox news controls the mods on this site, cuz seriously sh*ts weak. plus if your not neutral and total kiss A$$ on this site ur bubbles get R*ped its pointless. im not gunna waste my time trying to impress gamers on this site so i can have mad bubble skill so i can talk more even tho i cant say whats on my mind cuz ill either get my comment deleted or my bubbles snatched so whats really th fin point of this can someone tell me lol:p

Mr Face Creamer5282d ago

Honestly... WTF? Was hellsvacancy's comment honestly better than yours?

Wow... You droids are programmed to only agree on any Phony-pro comments.

ZombieAutopsy5284d ago

I use to have the best life, setting around all day eating pizza playing games and smoking pot....now i wake up at 1pm, go to work at 2pm, get out at 10pm, eat dinner, play games for about an hour maybe a little more, watch an episode or two of married with children, then fall asleep and repeat.

Uzesgelen_Goo5283d ago

that's boring dude (except your wife & kids)
knockout someone in your office (^^) it'll make some noise in your daily life!

ZombieAutopsy5283d ago

believe me i thought about it today when a foreman came up to me and told me i couldn't lean on my bench because "his guys" weren't aloud to...but then i remembered the buy 2 get 1 free this weekend at gamestop and realized that guy has a good 30 years on me and will be dead in about 20.

lh_swe5283d ago

I am not referring to the hardcore vs casual audiences neither.

The addicts and the non-addicts (for lack of a better word), in effect some people play in complete disregard to their surroundings and by this I mean homework, real world socializing and perhaps even their job/school. This is a relatively small demographic within the gaming community, however it has previously been the face of gaming and gamers. People are starting to perceive gamers as people with a hobby and not an obsession due to the widened market within gaming.

Kalowest5283d ago

Damn guess I'm an addict, no life, no GF, and Failing.

lh_swe5283d ago

The key is moderation and a stricter work regime at home.

My motivation is that my gf will either leave or hold out on sex if I game too much so its basically a no brainer in my case.

Saaking5283d ago

I like gaming marathons sometimes (you know, staying up all day doing nothing but gaming) but that's just once in a while. There's just not enough time anymore with all the other crap you gotta do.

The_ARCHITECT5283d ago

If you actually read the article, you can see that he's defending you gamers from stereotypical people out there, great article.

lh_swe5283d ago

I am just giving MY opinion (not to be confused with his) on when I think gaming has gone to far and how people are starting to perceive gaming at least in Sweden.

A Matter Of Trust: What The Game Industry Should Do To Win Gamers Back

Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.

anast3d ago

Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.

Garethvk2d ago

How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.

anast2d ago

Wait until release. Watch Gameplay. Exercise patience.

Garethvk2d ago

But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.

1nsomniac3d ago

Get rid of the suits in the industry and job done!!

Garethvk2d ago

They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
