Title: Video Games are Fun but...
Post by: Toddathon on September 27, 2003, 11:18:22 AM
You shouldn't spend all your time playing them.

Some people I've talked to do nothing but sit in their house and play games.  I can't stand it.  If it's sunny, i go outside, or I usually go outside anyway.

Then again I don't have much time for video games anymore, with homework, sports, and my social life.  I mean, I am a hockey-lover, I play on the volleyball and basketball teams, I am a member of badminton club, and soccer's around the corner in the spring.  On weekdays I spend after school doing homework, and from 6 - 10 at night it's sports.  So no time for vgs there, and on weekends, I'm usually out with all my friends at the beach or walking around till midnight and doing fun stuff.  The only time I play video games is really early in the morning and late at night (if I have time)  but I can't stand thinking about spending a hot summer day on the tv playing games, rather spent swimming or sumething.

So does anyone else live for sports and not vgs?

College killed all of my console gaming, and most of my PC gaming, but I will get it back.

I don't play my GameCube as much as I use to anymore because I beat all my games and I won't play hard until I get a new one. Now I spend all my time here. I don't have a swimming pool, my friends are FAR away from where I live, sports interferes with homework, I can't go to the beach because I'm too far from a beach to walk, and I'm too young to drive a car there. My entire family is at work when I have free time. So, whether I like it or not, I'm trapped in the house playing video games or being in the Fungi Forums. I live for video games and for the Internet, but if I had the chance, I would spend time outside.

What a weird topic.
I like Tennis and Basketball, but I play more video games than sports because I don't get the opportunity to play sports too much.

LD, are you in college?

By the way, I know what you mean, Todd. If it's a nice day, I usually like to go out for a walk at a nature center about half-an-hour from my house. There's a 150 year old graveyard in it, too. Spoo-kay! I think I'm one of the only people who can find it these days.

Todd Begin, why are you lecturing (or telling us wat to do) us about playing videogames? On a videogame website!?! I used to be CRAZY about videogames (when I was 5-6, anyways) people said all I do is play videogames! Why does it matter what people like to do? They love to play v-games! So what! I'm just saying, you shouldn't cause a big conflict over some stupid thing like this! So what if the only thing people do is play v-games all day! Starting a topic like this would be just like starting a topic called "Sports are fun, but...", Todd Begin! So what I'm trying to say is WHO CARES! Oh, and, why shouldn't we spend all our time playing them? Huh?

Ahem. Todd, you have some nerve coming to a Mario website, and lecturing a bunch of Video Game freaks about playing them too much. I've been playing Video games since I was 2, and I've probably played one at least once almost evry day in my life, (And that's not an exageration) but I still pursue other acts of recreation. I play video games A LOT, but I still play Golf and Tennis too! Making a topic like this is just like slitting your arm and jumping into a shark-infested tank with your arm bleeding. Bad idea.

Hey Meowrio, Markio, and various others, you are still newbies and therefore do not know that Todd has been coming here a lot longer than you guys.

Don't associate me with them!  I knew he's an old poster.  I was being sarcastic.

jeez I was just saying cause it's better to get involved in physical activity, but vgs are still good.

Yeah, I'll have to agree that Markio doesn't belong in the group because his post was funny.

I’m not stupid, I’m LD.

I agree 100% with Markio's post (taken sarcasticly, of course) ... Todd, for one, has been here for a long time - I think he joined before I did! And he's allowed to say what he feels! If he feels that people play too many video games, that's his opinion! Don't rebuke others for having opinions! That's not nerve, that's just what he feels - that's all.

I, myself, don't have a whole lot of time for video games. I am a high school competitive swimmer, and don't get home until 6 normally. Plus, I'm in the band, so that takes a lot of time, as well. After homework, I'm usually on the computer... I only play on average about 30-45 minutes of Nintendo a day now.

I agree with TB. I also know someone who does nothing except play videogames.(I'm an internet shut in myself j/k)
