Name checks out, but you should post in GenMay if you want to let everyone know you kissed a girl.Take heart. Eventually everyone has to moves out of your mother's basement. You will realize that gaming; though a good way to pass the time was actually a colossal waste of time.
Also that you are 40 and never kissed a real girl.

I kissed too many girls. Eventually I kissed one I ended up marrying her.Name checks out, but you should post in GenMay if you want to let everyone know you kissed a girl.
F2P mobile games should be forbidden. They play on people's gambling addiction.
This is why I will always support games like WoW. You pay a sub and then everyone's equal, depending on how they play. No $$$$$ whales spending thousands of dollars each month to get the advantage.

I would much rather have the youth of America addicted to video game hookers, e-crack, and shootouts in GTAONLINE9000 than real hookers, real meth, and shooting up my neighborhood for lulz.
Who's old enough to remember the Pinball Panic of the '70s? Arcades ended up getting regulated in some districts!
Holy crap, seriously? I need to look that shit up. Sounds interesting.

The more videogames do this kind of stuff the less I find myself playing them.
I have very similar feelings and have wasted too much time especially when I was younger on games. I guess we all need some sort of recreation/hobby though. Watching TV for example is just as much of a waste if not worse (since it's totally passive). My real obsessive hobby now is learning guitar, piano, and bass and I know those could be seen as a nonproductive waste of time too but at least at the end of the day I have something to show for it in the real world, not just some steam/xbox/etc achievements/trophies.
I never played Fallout: New Vegas for example and own it but I just can't bring myself to play it having already played Fallout 3 and 4. I know it's a huge time investment but however good it may be I know it's going to basically be the same experience as the other games.
Someone plays a lot of Ubisoft games I seeThey're just soulless empty maps that make you run around a lot with no real purpose or context to anything that happens in the game.

You're just describing multiplayer games.I'm finding it harder to get into games these days. They're no longer crafted to be interesting or fun. They're just soulless empty maps that make you run around a lot with no real purpose or context to anything that happens in the game.

Bit of a brief talk about it, but its a good place to start. I could have sworn that I've seen a documentary of some sort on the pinball ban, but I can't find out when, where, or what it was even called.
I'd swear somebody posted it the last time it came up on [H]. It was an alarmist piece that claimed teen girls in Jersey were turning tricks to get more quarters for the arcade.
Man has everyone lost their sense of humor? You cannot deny there is some truth to what I'm saying. Gaming addiction is real. But if you are NOT that person then don't take it personally.I'm turning 40 this year..i'm married, 2 kids own my own house and my colossal waste of time is no better or worse than whatever you waste your time on.
This is why I quit gaming myself, for all the above reasons. And me being a PC gamer since 1989 when I got my first PC. I gamed on 8 bit computers before that. I still have the fascinations for gaming but the older I get the more I realize my most valuable thing I have is my time and it is a dwindling asset.I wish I had time to waste time. Between a full time job, house projects and maintenance, wife, baby on the way, family being local, etc. etc. I have no time for video games. Some day again in the future maybe.

This guy gets it. It's still your choice, until they chain you to the chair or something. Take responsibility, and if the responsible ever get their toys taken away because how the derps have ruined it, look out.I've had to stop playing any games that require maybe more then an hour of time. Kids sucking up valuable me time.
Fuckers
So I stick with Battlefield and GTA V mainly
Once the kids are older and can fend for themselves I'll get back to gaming and ignore them properly
It didn't have a nickname Morrowcrack for no reason. I was hit out of the blue with a serious "gotta play more" cycle way after it's release in 2005 and put the visual upgrades mods (clearly one of the best free mods ever released to make the game look unrecognizable from the initial release*) and could hardly believe the masterpiece I was playing, it was one of the best gaming times for me ever. Played every add-on and was a little sad when it was over!I'm almost 72 and video games are my hobby. They have been for a long time. I find it amusing in this context, that Morrowind is one of the most addictive games I know of.
Doom finally got cheap enough, I still have Rage, and it should be fun. I have about 10 minutes in it so far, got it set up and almost made the first stage on Ultra Violence. I will keep the shotty for last, next time.
I have been hopelessly addicted to games, something that has little to no side effects, for 40 plus years. It's a wise choice, no matter what these expurts say. Use common sense and it's nothing but good clean fun.
I know the feeling very well. Many mobile games rely on the impatience of their players. On a roll but used all your resources and now must wait 12 - 24 hrs to replenish. Ran out of moves from completing a puzzle you've been stuck on for weeks. $1.99 for 5 more moves. (Guilty! Candy Crush), Finish that manufacturing process now instead of waiting 2 days. Some just spend, spend, spend to get the advantage if they have the funds.
It may sound simplistic, except a good way to avoid this is to not get too far into any game like that, the best thing to do is to have strong will and have a great alternative game to play instead. I avoid any game that gives me a feeling I'm being manipulated, there are too many good games out there to play that you get to play like you want, not like being a pavlov's dog that will pay and pay to win.I know the feeling very well.

Others may pay to relieve a moment of frustration (like my candy crush example above) which can build up over time without realizing how much you have spent.
Subscriptions, like WoW, or full upfront payments (without loot box gambling) are the ones I like because it creates an even playing field for everyone.
Good advice, seems there were plenty of violent people and violence before video games, and there will be after. It's best to develop ways to stop them instead of taking away freedom.Agree, it is good clean fun. I don't believe any of that propaganda that it makes people violent. Studies show it improves coordination and cognitive abilities. There is a video on YouTube; a guy that has never piloted a plane before, schedules a check flight with a instructor. Takes off, does a bit of flying and does a perfect landing. The flight instructor could not believe he learned everything from a "video game". The cautionary tale is one of wisely investing your time. You can spend money and earn more. You can spend your time, cannot get it back no matter what.
GTA has always been an open-world type of game. The last Zelda game I played was Ocarina of Time which was kind of open-world.Its a lot more than Ubisoft. I can't really think of the last big AAA game I played that wasn't like it. Zelda Breath of the Wild? Same thing, and that is one of the highest rated games in history. GTA V? Same issue.
Video games are sucking...You got that right. Haven't been interested in a new game since The Witcher 3.
That is a damn good game. I remember when I first got it and would casually look out the window and think "jeez the sun's come up, I better turn this off and hit the hay". I'm currently (finally) playing Fallout 4 and its pretty close.
