Playing Too much? Know The Signs!

Category: Default Game: Default Posted on Nov 03, 2008 6:37 pm


I have not written an article in awhile now, so let's see how this works out.

There are signs that tells you are over your limit and yet you continue on your quest. The signs changes as time goes by, so here are the signs that is telling you, YES YOU the player that you have been playing too much games. I will divide them in the usual time they occur.

1 hr - 2 hr

- Head leaning away from the computer

- Eye gets a bit tired

- Stretching

- Shuffling in your chair

- Chip bag is empty

2hr - 5 hr

- Your head is off the head rest(if you got one) or your head is in the normal sitting position

- Eyes are tired

- Hands are tired

- When you stretch you hear bones cracking

- If you have parents, they are telling you to get off

- Your bum is pretty much stick to the chair

-  Getting angry if disturb

-  Two Chip bags are on the floor

5hr - 10 hr

- Your eyes will have red lines on them(I forget what they are called)

- Start leaning forward

- When you stretch your whole body seems to crack

- Parents have gave up on you and let you be

- Your bum hardly moves anymore

- Two chip bags on the floor, some other type of food next to your computer table

- You take a big long piss

10 hr - 20 hr

- Now your really tired and want to sleep

- Your face is 30 cm from the computer screen

- Your hands are extremely tired and you cannot type right anymore

- Lights are off and your playing in the dark

- Its 3 a.m

20 hr and over

- You are now too lazy to go to the bathroom and you take piss on an empty water bottle

- Your floor and desk is littered with crumbs from chips, sunflower seeds, etc.

- Your eyes are wide awake and its hard to fall asleep

- Its the next day...

- How the hell do you do it?!!

Also here are some signs outside your gaming area.

- Talking about games with someone who you don't talk about games to

- Every time you say a number, you accidently add 'level' infront of it

- In math class your thinking of how many more monsters you have to kill to level up

- You are stress because you were player killed last night

- You are thinking of a strategy for the next raid or thinking of a plan to how to finish a dungeon as fast as possible

- Thinking more about your friends on the game than your real friends

- Play a MMO than play a console game with friends (well playing with your real life friends in a MMO is different)

 

Note to the readers

Some of the signs were made up but who knows, it may have happenned to you or friends. The others I got from my friends and from reading other articles. And no the cat is not playing solitaire, as you can see the mouse is off to the side away from kitty. I just thought it as cute.

Know your limit you guys and ladies. =]

PES is Pro Evolution Soccer, a soccer/football game, it's name should have been Winning Eleven in the U.S.

I dont eat anything when I stick to my computer because on that case eating just gathers weight lol

Yeah it does...very unhealthy for ya. But thats why you exercise. I may eat during my computer time but I also play sports with my neighbours and breakdance.

It's so weird. I don't like to eat while playing a game. Because then I get all pissy about having my fingers all sticky and then typing on the keyboard with sticky fingers. I have no idea what the longest time I've played was though heh.

I don't eat chips when on the computer, too sticky and too crumbing. I eat noodles(RAMEN). And sometimes nachos and popcorn.

My longest time was 8-10 hours probably, but it happened when I was 16 I believe, I'm detoxified now.
I sometime play 2 hours when we play pes and, you know, there's always a "this is the very very very last match" and then you make another one leaving your good proposals.

I hadn't played any higher than 5 hrs in my 3 months of being 16. xD
May I ask what this PES you talk about?

Longest time i was playing with no brak was about 7 hours. My head was hurting and eyes felt like burning. I was too lazy to go piss. The article is pretty goo. I found it fun :)

AkatsukiSwordmaster replied at 6:03 pm Nov 04,2008
Yeah usually when you reach that 5 hr mark, thats when you start feeling the effects. (well for some of us) I can hardly go 2 hrs now since a 3/4 of my day is now school(homework including) and the rest is sleeping.
and thanks for the comment.

well... my gaming time is about 2-5 hours, but there's no mess here! except for some computer stuff like pens, pencils, paper, mail, and a few notes on my game and from school!

Well if you see my friends who plays WoW and are on alot on the computer and look around their gaming area...all you see are empty bags of cookes, chips, nachos, etc. They only start cleaning it when their mom starts cursing at them to clean up.

i usually play 8-10 hours if i like the game. rf online would be an example of a game i reallyy liked and i noticed my self going 14 15 hours once. but it has alot of grind so you gotta 

AkatsukiSwordmaster replied at 5:57 pm Nov 04,2008
Yeah Grindish games like RF will make you sit in your chair for hours. But I usually stop playing when my exp bar reaches half or when I leveled. xD(lvl: 30 & over)
