Yes. Actually, there was a span of roughly four years in my life that I couldn't even tell you what the hottest games coming out were.
Could you quit videogames for a year?
After listening to the new A Life Well Wasted I wondered if I could quit videogames for a year like this one guy they had on. He quit videogames for a year (All videogames, computer, flash, console, portable, facebook). Do you think you guys could do it? I think I would eventually give up because there is just so much temptation and I have been playing videogames since I can remeber. I think I would give up around big release season lol.
So do you guys think you could do it?
Barring an apocalypse that busts up the power lines so I can't get electricity? No. Abso-fucking-lutely not.
Yes, I'd have no problem with it. Like I've said a million times before, games are not everything in life.
Ohohoho high five!
I could hold out for a while, but I'd have to be supplied with other things to take my time.
I sold most of my video games during High School and went gameless for a long time. I do kind of regret now because I would love to be playing my old GameCube and Dreamcast games (especially GTA 2 on the old 'cast).
If it were just PC/console I could do it. If I also could not use flash games to pass the time, I'd be screwed.
With how boring television has gotten, it would be very very very very hard. Ever since shows are more reality based I found my time for playing video games being much more then it was when I was a kid. Talk to me when TV gets better then maybe I would have a chance!
I basically do quit during the school year. I mean, sure, I get one or two matches in MW2 going when I can on the weekends but during the weekdays I can't touch any games. Yes, I do think I could quit.
Hell no. This current generation of games are amazing. And with Heavy Rain, Mass Effect 2, Red Dead Redemption, Brink, Max Payne 3, Splinter Cell Convinction, Dark Void, FF13 all coming out next year, I'd be driven batshit insane knowing I couldn't play them.
I'd rather give up watching TV. It's total garbage.
" I went a year and a bit with no games other than WoW. Does that count? "Ha, me too. It totally counts. »_»

I dont play on the weekdays due to homework, Saturdays i try but usually ends up being time spent outside with others, Sundays is then weekend homwork time. -_-
Although i dont get much time, videogames would be on the back of my mind and i could not go 1 month without them.
" Yes. The real question is, why the fuck would I want to? I wouldn't. Now, if you were paying me a few million to not play video games for a year, I'd do it. "
Totally agree. Games are too awesome to just one day say, "I'm not gonna play any video games for a WHOLE FUCKING YEAR." However, given legitimate reason to do so, I must say that you have serious issues if you honestly think you couldn't do it.
Depends, If it was a year where only rehashes and NFS11 and MLB 12 and NFL 12, Yeah i can skip that no prob.
But next year will contain a few games that I have been waiting for since I heard about them, Most noteable Heavy Rain.
I will cut down anyone who stands in the way of me getting that game.
Anyone.
Yes I've done this before. The last console I owned was a PS2. That broke like 2 years ago. I bought an XBOX 360 off a friend in May '09.
once i join the military, i'll be playing very little of videogames for about 2 years straight while i train.
