Are you a gaming addict? Here are ten signs to see if you are |
Ó
1. You buy at least one video game per week.- I WISH.
- How sad is that? ONLY purpose? It takes all sorts I guess.
- See #1
5. When you're not gaming, you're reading about them (Hopefully on QJ!)
- Does it count when you do it for a living and you like it? Or is that me making excuses?
- A lot of truth to this. About the only regular TV time I've got is when there's an NBA game on.
- Guilty as hell. Sometimes I even bypass the whole thing and forget to eat altogether.
- Luckily, there's a lot of space where I live. Then again, how I wish my place was flooded with games.
- Nah, I have more non-gaming friends than gamers.
- SO TRUE. In fact, the cleanest area in my room is where the hardware's at.
How about you guys? How do you plead?

I'm pretty much all of them xD except 1 and 8.
I think I have an obsession with gaming, but still I find time to go to work and come home etc, most of my paycheck money does go towards games, but I find gaming more as a hobby for me, but I don't get to attached to gaming, I still find time for other important things.
if i had a job, i'd be blowing it on computer gaming hardware, like 3.2 dual-core, geforce 9600 gt, 8gb ram. yeah..i'm addicted.
...that I can answer "no" to all of those.
But seriously, anyone who says "yes" to #4... are you crazy?
-You like playing games so much that you try to make one yourself but yours ends up sucking bad so all you do is play games for the next week straight, so you can get over not being able to make one yourself.
= Maybe
1. You buy at least one video game per week.
Uh, there are people that actually BUY games?
2. Your only purpose of being employed is to buy video games.
No, my only purpose is to buy videogames without have to work
3. You buy games you know you will not play more than twice.
Well, I get some of them... Again, what do you mean by buying videogames?
4. You feel too much pressure in a relationship because you have to sacrifice gaming time for your partner.
No, but my videogame time is sacred
5. When you're not gaming, you're reading about them (Hopefully on QJ!)
Along other things, sure
6. You no longer watch TV.
Few things, but i watch a lot of downloaded 'content' on PC
7. You only realize that you have not eaten yet when your stomach growls.
Sometimes, but thats good for my diet
8. You realize that you eventually need to move house because your gaming collection is ever- growing.
No, but i need to throw a lot of my old cds and dvds away
9. You run out of things to talk about when speaking to people who do not game.
No, but i have a lot more things to talk when im talking to people that play games
10. You dust off your console(s) and Hoover up the room every week, knowing damn well that you never did chores before you owned game consoles.
No, i hope my videogames are resistant to dust and dirt
you know your right... I do that all the time.
--
I don't really buy all that many games as I work for gamestop and can bring games home whenever I have time to play them...
That being said: between working 40 hours a week and college I have no time to play any games at all... I'm just now playing RE:5 and it's the first game I've touched since a week after Killzone 2 came out.
I download stuffs that I never even intended to play....
1. F*ck No
2. Hell no
3. See #1
4. Not gaming time, but "Me time".
5. When I'm not gaming I'm usually making websites
6. I no longer watch local TV
7. NEVER
8. NOPE
9. NO
10. NO
1. No, once a week is ridiculous
2. No, there's this thing called college which steals all my money...
3. YES, there are so many games i've only played once or twice... (nintendogs, Fracture, Crayon Physics, Spore, The Legend of Heroes... the list goes on)
4. No, Girls over Games every time.
5. Yes
6. I stopped watching TV when it turned into reality TV shows...
7. Yes... I have literally taken video games over meals, which is good for saving money on food ^-^
8. No, I just give away my stuff to siblings... (SNES, N64, Gamecube, and Wii*
Are you to young to have had a woman?
you dont have to be addicted to games for that one to be a yes, you could play an hour of games a fortnight and it would be a yes in a lot of cases.
yes... I have all 10 symptoms... is it bad?
1. You buy at least one video game per week.
* I DOWNLOAD at least one video game per week. Then I buy them later, if they're worth it.
2. Your only purpose of being employed is to buy video games.
* No. I'm unemployed.
3. You buy games you know you will not play more than twice.
* No way.
4. You feel too much pressure in a relationship because you have to sacrifice gaming time for your partner.
* Come on. Games aren't that important!
5. When you're not gaming, you're reading about them (Hopefully on QJ!)
* Sometimes.
6. You no longer watch TV.
* That's true. TV is crap anyways.
7. You only realize that you have not eaten yet when your stomach growls.
* True.
8. You realize that you eventually need to move house because your gaming collection is ever- growing.
* No. As I said. Most games are downloaded to my harddrive. The others are store in an archive-box.
9. You run out of things to talk about when speaking to people who do not game.
* No.. Actually I try to avoid talking about games, so I won't sound like a geek. Funny thing is, I am a geek. I just don't want my friends to know that.
10. You dust off your console(s) and Hoover up the room every week, knowing damn well that you never did chores before you owned game consoles.
* Not really.. Quite the opposite actually.
1. You buy at least one video game per week.
☼ Maybe one every 3 months...
2. Your only purpose of being employed is to buy video games.
☼ My purpose for being employed is to pay for my house.
3. You buy games you know you will not play more than twice.
☼ I buy a lot of games I can't even play through once, due to lack of interest or time. I'm lucky to find a game I feel is worth playing a second time.
4. You feel too much pressure in a relationship because you have to sacrifice gaming time for your partner.
☼ 1 word, LOL.
5. When you're not gaming, you're reading about them (Hopefully on QJ!)
☼ I read occasionally about games, on QJ and other review sites, but rarely.
6. You no longer watch TV.
☼ I haven't watched TV in over 9 years, cable is too expensive for the little worth it has. However, I do watch things off NetFlix, Hulu, and other online services.
7. You only realize that you have not eaten yet when your stomach growls.
☼ I realize I'm hungry when I see someone order food, and then I think back to the last meal I ate, which might be 2-3 days ago. It's just something I've always had to deal with, and that never happens while I am playing games.
8. You realize that you eventually need to move house because your gaming collection is ever- growing.
☼ My game collection builds, but it's nothing to move around about.
9. You run out of things to talk about when speaking to people who do not game.
☼ I run out of things to talk about when speaking to people, because where I live, computers, games, anime, sci-fi, MTG, and anything on the internet, is all avoided by the local population. The only thing to talk about is beer, bowling, and some movies.
10. You dust off your console(s) and Hoover up the room every week, knowing damn well that you never did chores before you owned game consoles.
☼ I do a full house cleaning every Friday, which includes dusting them off. However, that include scrubbing down the stove, cleaning the bathrooms, bed laundry, etc.
1. You buy at least one video game per week.
maybe once a month ill buy 5 or 6 at a time
(along with 5 or more flute books) to give you some idea of flute books its considerd cheap if they cost less than £10 each
2. Your only purpose of being employed is to buy video games.
my purpose is to save up for a house
3. You buy games you know you will not play more than twice.
never (i download and use more homebrew than i buy games my favoretee is gpsp and pops)
4. You feel too much pressure in a relationship because you have to sacrifice gaming time for your partner.
i dont want a relationship full stop.
5. When you're not gaming, you're reading about them (Hopefully on QJ!)
i do but more often than not im getting sheet music for flute (see my vids at http://www.youtube.com/user/andrewpo*****1)
6. You no longer watch TV.
A lot of truth to this. only watch it at night for about an hour
7. You only realize that you have not eaten yet when your stomach growls.
not really. when im on online games like americas army or call of duty ill be on for 14hours and wont eat or longer it depends if i have school next day or not
8. You realize that you eventually need to move house because your gaming collection is ever- growing.

9. You run out of things to talk about when speaking to people who do not game.

10. You dust off your console(s) and Hoover up the room every week, knowing damn well that you never did chores before you owned game consoles.
thats true seeing as my first console was when i was 6

LOL!! looks like i'm everything on that list except 9 n 10, i don't just clean my place because of the consoles even, in fact i'm looking @ 'em right now n the area is seriously covered in dust... hmmm.
yeah and as for number 4. that's a no brainer really as i'll say yes to that any time, theres nothing more frustrating than a mrs who nags u to call every bloody time XD

2. not the only one
3. not really a buyer
4. no way
5. guilty as charge

1. You buy at least one video game per week.
No.
2. Your only purpose of being employed is to buy video games.
No. Close.
3. You buy games you know you will not play more than twice.
I collect games, but they're ones I'll enjoy atleast somewhat.
4. You feel too much pressure in a relationship because you have to sacrifice gaming time for your partner.
I lost a girl I was in love with because of this.
5. When you're not gaming, you're reading about them (Hopefully on QJ!)
All the time, unfortunately.
6. You no longer watch TV.
It's been around four years since I've sat down and watched anything but a movie.
7. You only realize that you have not eaten yet when your stomach growls.
This one is true. Sometimes I only eat once or twice a day because of it as well.
8. You realize that you eventually need to move house because your gaming collection is ever- growing.
This is actually true. I've needed to actually get a box for all the movies I own to fill the space with games, now it's full again and now I need more room.
9. You run out of things to talk about when speaking to people who do not game.
Unfortunately, it's hard to run out of stuff to talk about when you can't really start a conversation with anyone who doesn't game because you don't really follow anything else.
10. You dust off your console(s) and Hoover up the room every week, knowing damn well that you never did chores before you owned game consoles.
No. Dust never hurt anything. I never leave my games out though, because then it would.
I actually listed a few on that list that relates to me!! It's so funny that i realized what i really am. lol
You don't watch TV?
How about I don't watch 22 minutes of commercial for every 1 hour show?!
TV is crap, even good old fashion airwave radio is crap, I play video games so I don't waste time watching/listening to crapercials.
Imagine you're playing Call Of Duty, you got your opponent in sight, line up your shot and BANG! Buy Budweiser! The king of Beer!
No thanks, the day I have to watch commercial while playing my games will be the day that I dust off my old Nintendo console. It's easy to see why people who choose videogames over TV.
even though i play like 6 hours per day. =)
1. No, Im stuck being addicted to COD WAW online +).
2.NO
3.NO
4.No
5.Maybe some game guides while at school or something.
6.TV pretty much sucks now except for Lost and survivor
7.I dont eat much unless if its chocolate XD
8.Its called "Hard drives" put the game on it, and BOOM its smaller! WOOT!!
9.Most of my friends are casual gamers or stupid gamers who play runescape (pssh)
10.I never clean!!!!!!!
I am right with Glenn. I only eat when my stomach growls during loading screens, then I either get to a save or I just kinda ignore the hunger (terrible, I know). Video games are keeping my physique in check!!!
Not guilty ^^
