Actually, Guitar Hero's a pretty freakin' good chick magnet at my college. Guitar Hero = Popular.

This is a very good point. I would also like to add that people (me mostly) spend way too much time working and not enough time gaming.

why should i be having to enroll in english and history honors just to look good when there is no way i will be majoring in either? we should lower the standard for classes which are nice skills, but won't impact a person. this allows for more creativity and more time for things we will be doing after school, which is something that our govt doesnt understand.

As a college student, I have almost no time to play video games when class is in session. I still haven't past much more than the Colossus on God of War 2.

This is just sickening. The whole world's going to hell in a handbasket. A hand, basket.

Hell, my AP Chemistry class represents the top students in my grade, and all of them except two are avid gamers, most of whom have jobs and/or active extracurricular lives

If they don't have time to play, its not a priority

That was a pretty funny post. One of the reasons I enjoy this site so much.

For the rest of us adults though, I too wish I had more time for gaming.

My gaming habits are like my buying book habits, I keep buying games/books thinking "One day, I'll actually have time to read/play/finish this book/game." That day has yet to arrive.

Oh well, back to working to pay the morgage. *sigh*

Will I really wanna be 30 years old and play video games hardcore? The answer is YES. Will I really wanna be 30 years old and STILL be called a frickin' FANBOY? The answer is NO.

When I go to Uni I'm leaving the Wii at home and taking my DS with me. However I figure I use games to relax and I'll have less need to do that at Uni/college. Oh and UK students don't really need to work their butt off like US students do, but I certainly hope Uni isn't one big LAN-fest.

I'm 32. I have a wife and 3 kids(6,4,1), 2 cars, a pool, and a mortgage on top of being an on call IT professional for a software company.

I make time for at least an hour of gaming a night whether it be on the PC or PS3. The PS3 is hard to get on only having 1 HDTV in the house. I'll be damned before having to play it on a SD TV. I make time because it is the only thing that relaxes me enough to go to bed. It's my ME time. I think it's helped me be a kind person.

When I was in college, I studied while playing WoW. I used downtime when traveling on a gryphon or waiting for the party to rez in a raid.

Ethan Duffy (#11), I'm doing the exact same thing with my Wii and DS.

Anyway, too many people in this country (US) overwork themselves. After school's over for the day, the last thing I want to do is more work, either for a job or some "extracurricular activity" that I really don't have much of an interest in.

Doesn't the US work more hours per week than most other countries? It's sad that our main priorities in life seem to be to make the most money, drive the most expensive car, and have the biggest mansion. It's sickening, even.

For seriously.

I remember back when I used to put in at least four to five hours of television a day (granted I was 7, but still).

Nowadays I'll be lucky to get in two hours of gaming throughout the week.

But I do the same as the rest of y'all and keep buying, piling it on top of the stack of "I'll play it when I have time".

Can't say I have been playing videogames lately either, that's probably why I'm still comfortable with the Wii, a lot of gamers complain there's a lack of games, me, I'm still on Twillight Princess

Hey Joshia, isn't that the American dream? To be the best that you can be and grab any opportunity that's given? No succesful person will tell you they achieved their dreams by slacking off and doing mediocre work.

Hi, I come from the future. In the future, there is no such thing as video games. And everyone works for google. Everyone is efficient and productive and we do not let silly things such as "video games" distract us.

they'll figure out soon enough that life mostly sucks and video games are a decent escape...and, really, most young people don't realize that when they are old they will still like all the same crap they liked when they were young (and probably have more money to buy all that crap).

Are you kidding me? I'm in Grade 12, and graduating in a couple weeks, yet I still get about 4 hours of gaming a day.

"i'd be like no" she says to dating a guy who'd want to play guitar hero on a date. Nothing gets that woman drier than the sahara like the notion of having fun on a date.

Girl: "Let's go out and see a stage full of underpaid liberal arts graduates make asses out of themselves and have flavorless and unfulfilling dinner where the only topic of our conversation will be me"
Dude: "Baby, why don't we just go to my house, play some guitar hero, eating some dumplings, drink some 'dew. If Master Chief on my comforter creeps you out, we can do it on my recliner with mounted rear satellites. 5.1 Marvin Gaye. I hear you girls like that"

How can anyone find that scenario unappealing?
