game addiction good or bad???

[bhiebob]

i'm a game addict..

i play (an obscure game that I was attempting to promote before the name was removed) and i love it..

for me game addiction is good because it can help me in escaping to all my problems.. whenever i have problems, i just play the game and then i will forgot all of them..

it helps me to refresh my mind..

and also making me happy while playing it..

i think it's not bad to be addicted in the game..

how bout you???

[Talmon]

Don't pitch the specific game lad. We hate shills.

Congratulations on making sense though!

Gaming addiction can be a bad thing, just like any other uncontrollable compulsion.

Recently some parents in Utah were playing D&D to the point where their children almost starved to death.

[Sapphireruby]

Wasn't there also a thread a while back about a couple of teens in China actually dying because they played a game so much that they did not eat,drink or sleep? :head: WOW I believe.

[Nitrous]

I play games a lot of the time but I wouldn't say I'm addicted to it...

[bhiebob]

they died because of playing??..

they are stupid..

you can play when you are eating..

i'm playing (The game I refuse to stop mentioning) while i'm eating my breakfast today..

[Sapphireruby]

I become obsessed with completing a level or task, but, no, not addicted.

[bhiebob]

do you quit in playing games???

[Sapphireruby]

Do I stop?...Yes..(I think that is what you are asking).

[bhiebob]

why did you stop??

online games makes me happy and i will not going to stop playing it...

[Loop]

I'm not addicted to WoW, I can stop whenever I like. I just don't choose to.

[Talmon]

I thought that your governement encouraged you people to be... well smarter.


The game he is plugging is a free ware warcraft wanna be that involves recruiting other players en masse. It's like WOW mixed with crack for misguided forigeners.

[Blondi]

WOW is very addictive.....I don't play for hours...oh and not WOW either.....

[Nitrous]

I'm not addicted to WoW

:lol: yea right mate...

[Scarface]

I'm addicted to not being addicted.

And I quit any time I like!

[Sapphireruby]

^Rare moment of agreement.........

[Phatbowser]

It is fine to play video games alot, but with moderation. If it is soaking into your family time or such things as eating and sleeping, you need to think about hanging it up for a few days. On average I play about 3 to 4 hours a day.

[Talmon]

That seems excessive.

[Scarface]

^Rare moment of agreement.........

What?

You are in agreement with my comment that makes no sense at all?

Wait, because it's you, that does make sense as you speak nonsense 90% of the time.

[Phatbowser]

This reminds me if ignant kids in highschool.

You were homeschooled.

By other kids you mean your siblings?

Yeah there were a couple in China and Korea that died because they didn't drink or sleep for hours upon hours. :( How very sad indeed.

:rolleyes: You have never heard me actually speak you ****ing moron.

I once posted in a thread that I was far more comfortable actually talking to people in the real world than typing. The written word loses a lot in the translation such as tone, facial expressions, eye contact, body language, etc. I was not brought up in the "computer" generation, per se....I am actually more adept at interacting with peopple I can actually see and speak face to face with. That being said..I know it is an antiquated idea....All this technology does not bring people together..it seperates them. So much is lost in translation.:happysad:

I think the problem you run across in this area... is that this is a forum.

Because it is a forum, the majority our members value the precision with witch one can explain his or her ideas in this format. It is not an instant messenger client, there is no reason anything should be getting lost in translation out of haste. There is even a nifty little grammatically correct punctuation indicating the use of irony or sarcasm. [ (!) ]

Most people who post here don't have verbal communication or sales as a strength, though they do astoundingly well at making brilliantly composed rational, logical and most importantly legible posts.

As someone who does have exceptional verbal communication skills in my daily interaction with real live humans, I personally find that that gives me an edge in expressing myself here.

Any functional mastery of the English language should translate into posting... one would hope.

[Sapphireruby]

^I get your point. You are a member of the computer generation. I did not touch one until I was 21 years old.

The whole forum thing is a great concept...obviously one I have yet to fully master in the realm of effective communication...Give an old lady a break.

I have been sitting on this whole computer generation assertion.

She is the one who depends upon smilies in her posts.

We have a more old school mastery of the english language.

No, that was some backwater slang.

[Revolver-Ocelot]

Yes yes, it's very "special"

[Scarface]

:rolleyes: You have never heard me actually speak you ****ing moron.



Gee thanks for pointing out that rather blindingly obvious fact.

Obviously when anyone uses the word "speak" to describe conversation on a text based forum they are using it as a figure of speech, not the literal meaning of the word. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to realise that now does it, that giant IQ of yours must have taken a vacation.

[Sapphireruby]

I speak a great deal differently than I type. I guess that was the point I was trying to make.

To Talmon's point, I do have a typing style which is more that of a chat room style than a forum one. I chock that up to laziness on my part I guess.

[Talmon]

Yes, well. Stop persecuting us for our attempts at trying to decipher the hieroglyphs.

[Blondi]

^^Just because she uses smilies????? Talmon, go kick the cat......

[Talmon]

It's because she writes in hieroglyphics AND uses smilies.

[Sapphireruby]

I am relatively sure that you know what hieroglyphics are and therefore, know that I do not use them at all in my posting. I am not cryptic either, so the need for decoding is not necessary.

The smileys, well.....I can't deny that one.

[Talmon]

I was referring to the post where Phatty referenced Einstein.

The bull **** rhetoric I was eluding to was not those whose area of study is quantum physics and the like. My friends spouse has a degree in nuclear physics and he can talk the talk and walk the walk.

I was referring to POSER people who are self-righteous and feel that they are much more intelligent than they, in reality, are. Use of ridicule, sarcasm, etc. to cover their inadequate sense of self is pathetic.

I don't need a smiley to impart my feeling to you Talmon. Go **** yourself.
http://www.gamers-gateway.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=1268&stc=1&d=1185472807Like this for example, sometimes trying to sift through everything you have blurted out to try and find a point sensable enough to respond to is impossible. That is what I mean by needing expert translaters to make sense of what I can only asume are complex hieroglyphics, as they are not a text from any language I recognize..

[Sapphireruby]

An expert translator huh? Sensible solution to the problem. I assume that you derive pleasure in pointing out only the bad, never the good in my posts.

[Talmon]

I only derive pleasure from old school nintendo and bong hits, thank you.

Spell all the words incorrectly that you wish, I sure do, just please string them together with a bit of sense woman.

Also, does anyone have a hard time understanding what I write?

[Loop]

No, not really, though I fear you've picked up a shard of my broken verbiage.

Okay I think we really aught to decide if we want people posting or if we want to be overly converned with being on topic. Most often these are tangents and the thread gets steered back, sometimes it doesn't then the thread gets closed.

This isnt exactly a winner of a thread, there is about as much room for discussion here as: Do people watch or post?

Yes any addiction is bad, no ****.

More importantly this kid has to stop posting the name of his video game he is advertising and saying nyhahahahaha.

So, games. Still on WoW, finally got one of my alts an epic ground mount. Got no money now on any character so it's back to the daily Netherwing quests. Which are always fun, especially the Booterang.
Also I completed Advance Wars Dual Strike last night, spent about five hours on it; I was determined not to let those ****ty little Oozium units continue to decimate my crap indirect fire vehicles.

Yes, seeing as how Blizzard and its licensors have rights to all the software even user accounts. Selling accounts breaks both United States and International laws.

GG FAQS:
You may not suggest you engage in illegal activities of any kind on Gamers-Gateway.com. Those who do are subject for an instand and permanent ban without notice. Also, you may not promote illegal activities or encourage others to do so. The same penalty applies..


Yes, it is illegal. I would have thought you gifted admin's such as you and Loop would have read the Forum rules and as Admin's, would have picked up on this?

You are having a seriously bad day.

We are talking about account trading being in breach of the WoW rules , this has nothing what-so-ever to do with gamers-gateway.

So take your unfounded accusations and insert them firmly up yer arse.

~This is your last warning sapphire, stop editing/deleting my post, you posted it, so it's staying.

[Sapphireruby]

The hard part of the game begins when, as a fairly experienced player, you become utterly bored of the character you created. It may sound ironic – everyone is free to create characters according to their own preferences. However, after hundreds of hours of game play with the same character, things are likely to become tiresome. This happens particularly if there’s nothing left of the challenge after having achieved the best gear and raided all the highest dungeons.

Needless to say, envy and curiosity also enter the picture – you really can’t help wondering what it would be like to be in the place of some other types of classes. On the other hand, the thought of starting a completely new character, considering how much time and effort that implies, isn’t very attractive either. That’s the point where the smartest thing you can do is to trade World of Warcraft accounts.

The concept of trading WoW accounts, as well as a wide range of other types of accounts, items, and currency started out on eBay. Users used it to trade all sorts of virtual items.

However, eBay eventually decided to cut down these forms of selling as they decided it went against the terms of service belonging to the companies whose sites required such accounts. As a result, people could no longer trade World of Warcraft account. In its essence, the concept of trading accounts is not illegal, but it is indeed against game rules.
There are, however, other places available for trading WoW accounts. Specifically, there are all sorts of forums where players come together and switch accounts. First they post some basic information about their character and then communicate, usually through instant messaging, until they reach an agreement.

The downside is that these kinds of places are usually full of frauds and scams. There are thousands of people who take advantage of the opportunity to make others give away their accounts and provide nothing in return. That’s why you always have to be extremely vigilant when you want to trade World of Warcraft account.

There are even companies specialized in buying, selling, and trading WoW Accounts. However, they buy them for a certain price, and then sell for a large premium; if you add to this the fees they charge players you come to realize it’s not very financially attractive for those who are interested in trading World of Warcraft accounts.

Not illegal, but trade with caution ...

[Scarface]

^Thank you Loop.

I asked him because he plays the game and actually knows things about it, unlike you.

And even after your little cut/paste effort I would still rather hear what he has to say about it.

Coming from WIKI Man...well...enough said.

Loop is the WOW go to person and if I were you ( and I thank my personal od that I am not)..he would be my "go to" source as well.

If it only it were true.

[Sapphireruby]

Done!

[Popcynical]

I was talking to a tech-support guy about my internet connection today and I mentioned World of Warcraft... The guy said he played and wouldn't shut up about it. Talking about how he couldn't get elite drops on his server, or something.

I swear, sometimes I prefer those Indian tech-support folk. I may not understand them, but at least I don't have to hear them complain about how their tech-support job cuts into their WoW time.

[Scarface]

^lol

That's hilarious.

Did you get ur net connection sorted?

[Popcynical]

Yeah... thank God. Last thing he mentions to me after my hour long phone call is that my modem firmware is old. A little update did the trick.

ahhh the old update the firmware trick, nice.

He talked about WoW for an hour?

[Popcynical]

[Loop]

Is it illegal to trade accounts?

Pretty much, yes. Of course if you do it the right way there's really nothing they can do to stop you, just don't advertise their sale.
They used to put them on ebay with the caveat "You are bidding on my time spent playing and not the items blah blah blah"[.i] in the hopes a bit of legalese would appease Blizzard sufficiently.
It didn't.

I was talking to a tech-support guy about my internet connection today and I mentioned World of Warcraft... The guy said he played and wouldn't shut up about it. Talking about how he couldn't get elite drops on his server, or something. Epic world drops? Yes, since the expansion came out they're a f**king bitch to get. Only yesterday did I get my second BLUE world drop, and it was useless.

... err, epic is purple. Quality of items goes; Grey [i](vendor trash), White (no stats), Green, Blue, Purple, and Orange. Oranges are legendary and don't just "drop". My Tauren had an orange, Sulfuras, a fiery orange mace. Sadly it's completely outdated now. :(

... and what's wrong with 80's music?!

[MadFog]

Oranges do drop you peen. Last boss in Black Temple drops 2 legendary swords.

Epic world drops are usually ****e anyway, and sold only to those that are not in a decent end game guild, or those who have a huge inability to understand the PvP System.

Still playing every hour under the sun and making little to no progress lupus?

Looks so good...

[QuizMaster]

I can tear myself away from WoW. I recall before the first time I went to Molten Core (before BC, you see), I skipped a chance to go to MC (would've been my first time) to go play poker with the guys.

I'd say, of all the varying lifestyles which revolve around obsessing over something, being a gamer is one of the better ones. Can you imagine being obsessed over fashion? Blech.

[Loop]

Molten Core... I'm perhaps the only player in my guild who actually likes it. Still, killing blow on Karazhan's Prince Malchabalthazanebuchadnezzer's okay too.

Reason you have no 5v5 games, is because you are running a terrible set-up, many of your players specs gimped to ****.

Eww, a Nelf.
Anyway I've not actually had a single game with my Arena team yet, and I fear they're off-spec because they're just not bothering with it.

They all look ****e, get out of it.

I suggest you either create on yourself, asking well geared and specced friends from either guild or just people you know. Read up on a few decent strategys, or ask on your realm forums something along the lines of 'Kara guild fury warrior looking for 5v5 team' You knows it.

In this time of year it's the best time to ninja yerself a spot into anything. Guilds and teams are always looking for people.

P.S If your making your own team Make sure you skirimish alot before you make a team, so you can replace any **** people.

Your spec isn't horrible for PvP, I played a warrior at 60, Only at AQ40 Level, managed to get Grand Marshal status and still do some decent PvE Damage, You just got to juggle it about, If you'v got the gold, i'd check out a few specs on the warrior forums.

I got my PvP/PvE Hybrid spec there, and i'm sure you can improve your fury spec.

[Loop]

I could, yeah. I could take all the points out of prot. I know how to play a warrior. Just trying to get some nethers for the stage 2 BS sword atm. But I do so hate tanking so it's basically 3 badges from Mech Heroic whenever I can find a group.

[MadFog]

Mech heroic, the greatest instance in TBC, The scholomance of TBC, You remeber farming crusadar mats from Scholomance? Yeah, this it, but with EPIX.

Any half decent player can tank mech heroic. I suggest a felol druid, because that can do some decent dps on the **** packs that dont need tanking.

Let's face it you only need a tank on the bosses and sub-bosses.

Any DPS Warrior is overshadowed by the damage of other classes, and are thefor (usually) made to tank.

We all had a great laugh in KZ not to long ago, really held back on our DPS so our latest fury warrior (Who was ofc flasked up to the tits) was top of the damage meter by a fair bit was spamming the damage meter of all over the jobby, needless to say it took little less then a few packs before he was 5th.

The tv addiction thing too is a little off. I watch tv but I do not plan my life around it. What with Tivo and the like people are actually addicted to a flippin tv programming system set up by 50ish men in corporate suits that "know" what the public NEEDS to be watching.

Right I don't watch Big Brother but you would have to live in bin for most of the year not to pick up on the constant media bombardment that surrounds it.

So the current run of Big Brother how long has it been running now? It feels like it's been going since August 2005. I will admit to watching half the first season of BB and the concept seemed to be start with X number of nobodies, vote one of them out every week until their are 3 then everyone votes on who wins.

This one seems to be vote someone out, stick five others in, let two have a strop and walk out, stick three others in, vote someone out then stick them back in a week later. This has been going since August 2005 they must have half the population of Britian in the house by now.

It is Season 8 I believe in the US. I watched part of season 1 and stopped. It must get enough ratings to stay on the air here but you hardly ever hear about it.

Only bland boring people who think they're in some way special call themselves crazy, insane or something else meant to differentiate themselves from the rest of the cattle.
The people that are isolated tend to be the business owners. They have a lot of time to think when they are young.

Can we add the comment about Americans not reading and writing proper to this volume?

[Sapphireruby]

Why not there lm. It seems rather fitting.

[Phatbowser]

I can't speak for every American, but there are too many that never studied in school and let their chance at education slip away.

RE big brother, I do know people who while it is on for the 12 weeks or whatever it is that watch it all day via the E4 channels or whatever it's on, that is just mad and imo addiction. I must admit, I did watch series 3 when Kate Lawler won it, that was a great series and the only 1 I can remember with the divide (poor side/posh side) in the house which made for some great viewing.

However, I was not addicted to it and cannot fathom how anybody can be that addicted to TV in general as there doesn't seem enough quality programs on to get addicted.

Is not one single IQ point among your self proclaimed 159 in working order?

Must be one of the 150's. The ones that don't exist.

I thought you might be a Red Sox fan and get the implication..I was wrong...

Who's your daddy= Who owns you

(It was a Red Sox/Yankee thing)...I thought you were a fan....my mistake

Contraction's a big word, Pop.

Big scary word.

I am thankfull for those of you who enable me, not to have to explain myself at every turn.

Thank ye!
Thank ye!

^I would think that you, of all people, would be able to wrap your head around a typo.

Contraction's a big word, Pop.

Especially if she's squeezing the living life out of your hand whilst having one.
