I mean, all those time used for playing game can be used for other stuff rite? Like reading, exercise, playing piano?

Are you guilty?

hmm I don't really regret wasting my time on playing games, after all, I regret more that I don't have all the time to play so many great games.

Too many games yet too little time.

yes, i do feel guilty for all those time i've spent on Monster Hunter.
should've go to study or play with friends.
and ragnarok online does affect my whole life.

Heck no...i love gaming..

the onli time i will feel guilty is when playing halfway game hang/didn't save/electricity cut off...

then i really feel waste my time, energy and electricity onli....

Probably a bit guilty especially during close to exam times but overall nope. Gaming is one of my ways to relax

unless you play 24/7 as does not other activity like eat, sleep and bathe - err, no

gaming = waste time? heck, dunno who the hell say this ........ LOL

REGRETS??! hell no..! i love gaming & enjoyed every second spent on gaming. after long hours of working, a couple hours of gaming bliss (maybe a lot more.. ) wouldn't hurt.. let the games begin!! muahahaha!!

easy.. why?

play only when free lo

hell no!!!i feel goooood when i play games

Gaming strengthen my focus.
After playing video games, I don't have to dodge bullets anymore.

i feel good if i have nothing better to do
i feel ok if i got something better to do
i feel bad if i missed something because of it

I feel guilty if I cannot complete all the games I bought.

i was once playing a game and got a call saying one of my uncles was dying.

i stopped a minute,then continued.

so you be the judge

LOL! cold hearted

Playing game isn't a waste of time.

Point taken, grandpa .

Gosh.. who ever feel guilty playing games, then don't play games at first laa...

but i feel guilty when in lyn

Nope because I holiday now .If don play game , that is wasting time

i regret reading this thread wasting time.i should go gaming.

no regret at all because i've too little time to play games yet there are so many games out there. so, cannot be kuli to my boss anymore. must be a boss so that i have all the time in the world to play games.

Man, I also regret coming here to read
___________

On topic!

"I feel good~!" ta-dah-ta-dah-ta-dah-ta!
"I feel like I should~!" ta-dah-ta-dah-ta-dah-ta!

no regret. i play game to relax. just like my father. he smokin to relax. i play game to relax. he smokin while shitting in the toilet. i play my NDS while shitting. gaming is bit of my daily life.

what a stupid thread...

No regrets but this topic is a wasted of time.

it's not stupid larr...
it's true some ppl do feel that way...coz so much can do with that time...if that person has a bz life lar..but if not y bother ...juz enjoy

it depends la actually, for some people, gaming is his / her passion. so, no regret at all. but, for another half, gaming is just another optional things to do in life. for that group, maybe they will regret.

for me, it's ok to get heart attack while playing game rather than got heart attack because of work. not worth it man. because gaming is my passion. errr....am i still in the topic or i'm talking nonsense already.

Guilty? wasted time? sound like none original game. if one buy the expensive title is for solely enjoy that particular game if cheap RM3 mad buying & quick playing thru all titles in 1 day of course will feel wasted time.

GUILTY?... WASTING TIME? ... come on... we are closer to death each time pass by... so WTH are u waiting.. go play game... we work to get money we squeeeze our brain in the office.. dont we deserve a good time for gaming?

BTW Those who feel guilty is the one who hardly play game.. or not a gamer at all.. we never feel guilty for what we like to do....

This question can be really universal ...

"I can be doing this or that instead of watching tv / listening to music / reading / gaming / sports /" and etc etc

As long as you are doing smth you like, it's not time wasting. To each his/her own

i DO feel guidlty after playing games in:
http://www.ugotgames.com/

i feel guilty!!!!

what do we gain after playing 2-3-4 hours of video game? nothing!!! i feel
terrible if i played too long, cause i know at the end of the day, i get ZERO
out of playing game rather than reading books, writing songs, playing my guitar or spending more time with my family.

So what i did was, i make sure i control myself on video games, i make sure i've done everything else which is more important than i can rest awhile playing games.

Anyway, what do we gain playing games? do we get smarter or something? at least reading a book i get more knowledge and i sharpen my english or whatever other languages i come to read.

Games do benefit in some ways, not all games are games, take for example Brain Age for the Nintendo DS. Sharpens your mind if you play daily for just 5-10 minutes. That's edutainment.

As for simulations, games like GT/Forza/CMR MAY simulate a driving experience you can't get with your SLK(small little kancil), hence the quote from forza "if you hit the breaks while taking a corner, you'll most likely end up dead". I don't cite NFS cause there was a kid who took his dads Merc up to blazing speeds, got caught, and cops found NFS in passenger seat

Video games like from a modified Duck Hunt, Halo, and Doom has been used to military training before. America's Army too. The future army of super soldiers would be geeks w/ keyboard and mouse hidden in a bunker 50ft underground.

I would go on more, but I think that's enough example

Xbox Controller in the US Army

Oh well, maybe they didn't need a bunker after all..

rather than read a book,listen to music,watch a movie,look at pictures, i'd rather game.

when you read a book,you are just reading.
when you watch a movie,you are just watching and listening
when you listen to music,you are only listening
when you look at pictures,you are just looking at something.

but when you game,you HAVE to read, you HAVE to watch and LISTEN,and you HAVE to give your full attention to it,or else you'd miss some minor details which would probably be catastrophic later on.

gaming is a complete package,regardless if it is handheld with petty graphics or next gen with amazing graphics,all those mentioned above still hold true.

you dont get this many things from books/music/etc..

and in some instances, you HAVE to use your imagination to solve puzzles as well as strategise

dont forget,surgeons play games as well,and studies have shown that surgeons who DO play games,have a better response time,and make fewer mistakes than those who DONT play games.

LOL, let's just hope them surgeons aren't playing Trauma Center.. If not.. mati oh the patient kena quick-knife

But good take on the books/movies reference Mgsrulz, while a Pirates 3 movie would last you 3 hours, the game would last you.. um.. more than 3 hours? You get the story, you get to participate(play) in it, HECK, maybe you can even alter the story just because you are playing it. Where else, movies and books are all written and set in stone

when i read the article,they played games like monkey ball,where thumb movement is key.
i dont think they train on games like resident evil

Do you feel guilty for spending your time at lowyat forum?

The matter is whatever you do, as long it's right and makes you happy then it's

i will feel guilty after buy an ORI game and not finish it.. ahahah
