Does computer games affect your life style?

I would have to agree with this.I am a avid computer gamer and console gamer and feel that the development of video and computer games over the years is just pronominal to say the least.The issue thought with this is the old saying To much of something can be bad for you is quite true here.I an guilty of doing all nighters gaming on the computer and console.It is quite addictive , and once you are engaged in the game it blocks out all sense of time and reality and puts you in a virtual world that makes you happy and feel entertained and thrilled.I feel that people can teach themselves self control and therefore be able to play video games without to many adverse health effects and lack of exercise and social interaction.

Play video games is very interesting occupation, but it's addiction when you look deeper. I would like to say: life is the biggest game, when why play this litle computer games?

I too have seen many people busy with virtual games too much... Well sometimes i laugh on them but many people are very serious about playing virtual games and many people are too much addicted to them... Virtual games have taken a regular place in the daily routine of many people...

I play games for much time everyday, but they do not affect my life at all. I stop when I should, I eat as I should (or maybe more doh...I have gained some weight last two years) and I do go out with friends often. Games are just games - a cool way to have some fun, but nothing more than this. Have a nice day!

They certainly do affect your lifestyle in a very big way indeed. Before computer games, I spent a lot of time playing out with my friends, but now that I have games to play on I tend not to spend quite as much time outside as I might have done before. I believe that computer games are mostly to blame for the rising levels of obesity in the world at the moment. If people continue to play on computer games for so much of their day, they are going to be heavier and heavier; and that's an incredibly unhealthy way for people to live.

Hmm... well, games have good points and bad points I guess. If you become too addicted that you only think of the game and nothing else - you forget your priorities and forget to take care of yourself, then that's bad. But it can also promote some good qualities I suppose, like coordination and teamwork, if you play with others, and strategy and things like that... I don't play much now, but I used to play an mmorpg before, and one of the nicest things about it is the friends that I met through that game. =)

Hi xxj3ffxx, I was once addicted to the games in Facebook. It was all I could think of even when I was at work. However, it took away too much of my time. Sometimes, I go to work late in the afternoon because of playing. I got to a point where I didn't like the effect on me already. It was a conincidence that we were nearing Christmas break. I went home to my province without brining my laptop. We don't have an internet connection at home so I can't really browse and play. When I got back after that break, I did not return to my games in Facebook anymore. I think it's ok to play computer games as long as you don't become disconnected with reality.

Definitely , but i won't tell it will affect our life style but it will have a effect on our life style , like i used to play Tekken very much , and when once i got up into a fight with a Guy , i gave a shot like Lei ! Ha ha ha ! But its true !

Hi xx, Not much for me. I don't have time to play games given the hectic schedule I have all day. I do go speeding in Need for Speed from time to time if I have the chance. Diablo too, got me a while back but when I finished all the conquests including the expansion packs, it gets boring after that. Now I just go for a spin on that Hyundai at Bayview City just for old times sake.

I tend to get addicted to games very easy. I use to play several games on facebook until I realized thats all I was doing. I think they should put time limits on some games..If that makes since?
