Should I FeeL Guilty For Video Gaming?
I’ve always been a pationate gamer throughout my life. It’s mostly affected me in a negative way and neglected me from society. Now I’m not at bad as it seems, I was an active, well motivated kid throughout high school and what not. I was social and involved with the school. I had hobbies and friends and attended plenty of parties. I’m a very social guy and when I have to get the work done I do it. I sold my Xbox 360 in the beggining of June because I felt it was a temptation in the house and it kept me distracted. During the summer I fell in love with FIFA because of the world cup and I’ve become a soccer fanatic! I want to buy an Xbox again for FIFA 11. I promised myself that if I buy a 360 I’ll only play fifa and buy no other games and not get into and obsessed with gaming and just keep it a casual hobby for when I have NOTHING left to do and ALL my work is done. Now I feel I can keep that promise but at the same time I’m simply just worried if I’ll really be able to or not. It’s almost as if there’s a plate of hot turkey sitting on a table and the scent following me everywhere and I’m temped to follow it and go to it. I feel I would concentrate and excell still in college and life, though at the same time I feel it would be a lot of self control with the Xbox in the house. One positive I thought about with having an Xbox would be that it would be a nice challenge to help me with self control. It would allow me to ignore and concentrate on the important tasks at hand before fun time. My friend also told me it wouldn’t be bad to have a mini distraction because everyone has a distraction whether it’s shopping, or facebook, or drugs. What do you guys all think of this?
Thers nothing to feel guilty about, come on, smile!

Theres nothing to be guilty! im a hardcore gamer too. i play videogames a lot. i always forget to do my homework and play xbox 360. But i think its a healthy activity LOL, but really it estimulates your brain depending on the game. But i think if you like to play videogames, then play. WE ARE FREE!!!!!!

I would probably buy it if I were in your situation. Gaming is a hobby, and doesn’t have to make you anti-social. I hang out with my friends all the time, and still play video-games almost everyday. it’s just the difference between playing too much and only playing for about an hour or less.
During the summer I do play a lot, but if I have the option of chilling with friends instead I take it. I am constantly texting during gaming or chatting with people on Facebook.
If you’re really worried about playing too much, I believe there is some sort of Timer you can set on your 360 so that you only have a certain amount of time to play. Either that or I think you can set time zones, so that you can only play between such and such a time. You mentioned that you are in college, if you know you only have classes in a certain time of day, and have to do homework in another time… you should be able to set a zone of time so that when you’re free… it is the only time you can play you’re Xbox.
Good luck.

I’ve been gaming since I could walk. It is one of my many hobbies, or as you call them, "distractions." I love to skateboard and I’ve been in the army for 5 years, and I’ve been married just as long. You need to have an outlet, and If you think that FIFA could be a stress reliever for you, or even just a good time, then you should pursue it. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. However, I do feel inclined to note that you get a lot more gratification out of a physically demanding hobby.

NO. You should not. Just put on the restraints.
