    Angry Yes, I'm an online gamer! Whats wrong with that?

    hi everyone, i was jus so furious abt why my frds n parents treat MMORPG as something anti-social, or time-wasting stuff. they were kind of like discriminating people (basically me) who spens times on building relationships in the gaming world, which somehow make me feel so frustrated and isolated. coz all ppl around me apparently noe nothing abt gaming. all i can lean on is forums, internets, how sad.
    hv u guys been told not to play games by parents or frds before?
    o jes, i m hving a hard time.

    Terrible grammar just terrible.

    On topic: Welcome to my world. I am being discriminated each day and called a potato who does nothing but sits by the computer.

    You will learn to give no **** about just like I did. As a matter of fact I've also started to discriminate whatever my parents/friends do whenever they feel like picking on me. Not the best thing to do but it works and I keep them at bay.

    There's no need to apologize for that.

    Video games bring a lot of different people together so I see nothing wrong with enjoying them. I used to live with my father and step mother who believed video games were "evil" yet they never really stopped to learn what really goes into making them. I stopped speaking to them a long time ago (for many reasons I will not discuss) because people like that are just overall thickheaded and only appreciate the things they believe in.

    There's nothing wrong with enjoying video games, but don't let them be the only world you know. Sometimes it's pretty interesting to learn more about the people controlling the characters as more often than not, you'll find some that share similar interests in all aspects of life.

    Well, it is a time-waster, and it is anti-social if you are a solo kind of player. Even if you are a group-player, it's still a sort of isolation, because you're not really physically interacting with much depth, it's all in text or game-functions between the characters.

    But it's entertainment, and we all need it in a form or another, be it books, music, video games or movies. So unless it's interfering with your school work or whatever then it shouldn't be a problem?

    That grammar made my head hurt.

    Anyways, topic related:

    Just do what you want to do. I know I didn't say much and it may not be helpful... but... yeah...

    If you're able to balance gaming and IRL friendships, more power to you. If you can't, interaction with real people is more healthy than virtual ones.
