@Deleted User not sad at all
I don't hang out with anyone in my area.
Not saying that I do that on purpose. Just don't know of any like minded individuals in my area.
All of my friends are either working, have families, or super far.
Not a big deal really.
not at all - you'll make plenty of friends where you're headed

@Orlando Absolutely. It's like through video games, I'm buying time. CT is boring and full of Godless liberals.
@Deleted User haha, so is Maryland, most of my friends before the Army just arent interesting enough to hang out with - I dont like tv or movies like I used to - I'm usually listening to music or playing video games when inside
I'm the same way, @Orlando
ya me and my friends mainly party up on xbox live to shoot the S.
It makes it feel like you are isolated.
when I was in grad school, I felt isolated 24/7 - now that it's over - i appreciate the time i have to do nothing or play on xbox
I only have pubG on the pc
for the pc guys, how come no h1z1, its free and pubgish
@Orlando Sorry I had a meeting. Yeah it sucks but you had to put your nose to the grind to get that Masters degree! 💪
@Deleted User no problemo, yes indeed
i would say yes - i imagine it's on the individual to be conscious enough to know what is too much and when it's time to get outside, exercise, do meaningful things, etc.
I would agree to that, @Orlando.
I would also add that video games also changes social behavior. However, I would also ask: is that any different from people who surf the internet daily?
for sure it can change social behavior - being from the Nintendo generation, I was raised around video games - but I did have parents that made sure I did other things - which carried into adulthood - and it's not much different than surfing internet daily - however, for folks like myself, I spend a great deal of time on the internet reading albeit news, history, etc. so if anything I'm well-informed
I'm a gamer myself or rather, a past generation gamer. For the ps2-3 & gamecube. I still love the videogames I grew up with but like anything that is being taken too much can become unhealthy
So many great videogames with amazing moral lessons to this day, have influenced the person I have become
same with someone watching tv or movies ALL the time
these are just hobbies
certainly too much can become unheatlhy - even politics - because i studied political communication in grad school in D.C. of all place, and during the presidential elections - i never got away from it - it got to a point where it was too much and the thought of politics made me somewhat anxious and depressed
Oh wow. Yeah I can imagine
There was a time, all through my young years, videogames, books and writing were all I had
exactly - and music
i never get tired of music
Even though people on the outside thought it was unhealthy, it was meant to be for me at that time. And I took so much out of the influential games & books
It never leaves you
Hahah yup
same with that
So I really think it depends how a person is internalizing it too. Like do they play countless games or watch so many movies that they become numbed out and get nothing out of it? Did they learn something from it?
I esp think if they get nothing out of it, and are doing these things as a form of escape then it's to the point it's unhealthy
agreed
