Ok, All good, all answers I was looking for.

on to other questions...

When you're playing, do you get mad or angry if something isn't going the way you think it should and shout about it, do you say the game is cheating and complain about bugs and glitches?

When people obviously hack? Yes, its fuging annoying. When my team sucks ass and we all get killed? No, but some take it hard and ask for crappy players to go to another server which I think is retarded. Most people playing video games for fun win or lose but there definitely few odd. I play a lot of MW3 and most players around age 22-35 and some even in their 50s...

I rage on Mortal Kombat but not because I lose.. but because of the server issues the game has.. I had to massively upgrade my internet just to make it possible for me to do some of my complex combos. It's frustrating losing to people that just jump kick because the connection doesn't read my block. I'm more likely to throw something watching football than i am playing a video game. I take it your kid is doing it? I did that when I was smaller but after awhile I stopped.

No, it's not my kid.

I just don't get how one can spend hours playing a game. Maybe it's the same as how I can spend hours creating something. I enjoy it, I do get upset with it when it doesn't go my way but I cant stop until i'm satisfied with the result.

Oh, so it's Dan.

I logged in and will post this just for you. :thumbsu:

Prolly get me banned , whatever.

I hardly ever play any console games anymore, but I can relate to the frustration of glitchy/poor AI design in some games...

I play an online game pretty regularly... just started back, in fact, after a long hiatus...

I could sit there and do it for hours on end, completely losing myself in it.

This is not an addiction, though. It is a hobby/something to do to relax.

The only time it has ever been an issue is when my wife feels like I'm not spending enough time with her, and then I'll either shut it down, or tell her to get the hell over it because we aren't doing anything besides sitting around anyways.

If you've got a problem with how someone is spending their time ultimately because it takes attention away from you, then I think the problem is your own to cope with. I'm not projecting that on you at all, or trying to sound harsh, but that is just the way I feel a lot of these things boil down to. It is ultimately about controlling what someone does with their own time, especially when there isn't anything else going on that interests the person that is playing a game.

If this is your husband or w/e, I say talk about it with him. Decide if there are things he should be doing other than spending his time how he wants to.

If this is your kid or someone else's kid, as long as they are handling their business otherwise, who cares?

Yes, video games can be addicting and too immersive. But that is a personality trait that will exhibit itself in other areas too... not just games...

These days, games have huge open worlds that can take time to explore. It is nothing to kill a couple hours and not realize it.

There were definitely times when I spent the entire school day watching the clock, waiting for the school day to end so I could run stright home and pick up where I left off in my game. But that was back when I had school days.

Now my time is just too precious to blow days playing video games. Between my job, my girlfriend, my laundry (Which, no matter how many loads I do, there is still more), and my comic book, I can't remember the last time I actually got on Battlefield 3.

Yet somehow that doesn't stop me from dropping $60 on used games at FYE this weekend. Bizarre.

      100%. He's a serviceable starter but not a shut down CB by any means. Not too bad for $5.25M /year.

      Crap on a cracker! I didn't see that from the original video. That's nasty.

      It is like he just can’t be bothered with that stuff.    But seriously, rebuilding your entire physical operating procedure is so difficult that very few can do it. You have to get it in you so deep that you don’t think about it. Most people fall back to their comfort zone at the biggest moments. Because it worked for them up until ‘now’ and they don’t have to think about it.  You would think people would know this but here we are.  His so obviously wack unorthodox mechanics screamed to me that a rebuild would be necessary and that the single biggest reason I was so opposed to taking him.  It plays out all the time. He is in and out of what Canales tried to train him to do. That’s what the emphasis on 1 2 3 plant throw was about last offseason, as much as it was about getting the ball out quicker. But it is all connected.  You just can’t get the ball out that fast with his old routine, slows you down.
