Non Game Days

[mrpenguinismyhomeboy]

Do you ever have those days when you just don't want to play a game? Your really bored, and have plenty of good games available for playing, but you just wanna do something else like go outside or write a song, or play badminton or something? Does that happen to anyone else? Or am I just weird?

 

[Pimppeter2]

Umm.. Constantly.

I don't really even have the effort to game really.

In fact, I think my overall time spent gaming is between 2 and 5 hours a week.

 

[Iwata]

Yeah, it happens. I went through that a lot before I got my PS3, I was just tired of PC gaming, my PS2 was used mostly for movie-watching and eh...

Nowadays, it's relatively rare. I enjoy gaming a lot, and have a bunch of games I haven't explored, so I'm hardly ever bored in that regard.

If I don't want to play games then badminton is a definate. If you read my posts (don't see why you would, careful you perverts, I have a gun) You will know that I play it lots and I will call my mates, book a court and just go play for the lulz.

If not that then I will sleep. I can sleep for 12 hours a day. 15 at a push. This means that I have to use the little time to do what I would normally do in a day (eat, homework, badminton etc)so I have less time for gaming.

 

[mrpenguinismyhomeboy]

It happens to me quite a bit.

 

[Heart of Darkness]

Yeah, happens to me a lot. It doesn't help that I can't afford to game time-wise, and that the only platforms I have access to are my DS and Steam. So yeah.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Not often, no. I have days where I don't do anything in games, like just dick around all the time, though.

 

[Nouw]

Sometimes. But it's rare.

 

[NoblePhilistineFox]

yeah, but only because I dont buy a new game until ive completely rapped the last one I bought. (not raped, for you idiots who only played Halo/MW2)
and that gets boring after a while.

 

[The Rascal King]

I was playing Super Mario Bros 3 on a NES like a straight G at a get together until a lovely friend came along. That controller got dropped like it was hot.

Women and school are the only things that stop me really. The former a constant hindrance, the latter is a rare exception to my gaming time.

 

[AngryMongoose]

Yeah. Usually on those days I'm apathetic about EVERYTHING, and just want to lie in bed (awake) and throw up.

 

[Lamppenkeyboard]

That happens every so often. i live in a small town in Florida, and go to a relatively urban high school. So most friends I have are like, twenty miles away and I have no car.

This means that I try to avoid those days.

 

[Marine Mike]

I'm surprised no one had made a shuttlecock joke yet...
Anyways, I usually end up playing games when I'm really bored and there is nothing else to do, which where I live is all the time.

 

[azncutthroat]

Recently, yeah.

I usually get it on the weekend mornings, but then I start to want to play games as the day ends, or when it's least convenient for me (i.e. I have to study/exercise, etc.).

 

[rt052192]

no its quite common. i have plenty of great games but sometimes i need something else to fill the void that only other activities can fill. so i play basketball, read, or chill with my friends. I know, its this crazy thing called socializing.

 

[Rewdalf]

Any time I get a call from a friend or a good movie comes out... Also spending two months in Europe. Sorry Xbox and PC, you get to stay home.
Although I did visit a few gaming internet cafes to kick some ass in Counter Strike with a buddy of mine...

 

[ProfessorLayton]

Yes. Sometimes I just don't feel like gaming and I get up to do something else.

But this happens rarely.

 

[BlindMessiah94]

I don't game nearly that much actually. I can go days or weeks without playing a video game most of the time.

 

[WaywardHaymaker]

I have days where I'm dedicated. Days when I sit down, and play through Mass Effect 2 or something. I have days when all I do is play some custom games in Halo with my friends. And I have days where I like to sit in a quiet place and read.

Today was more of a reading day.

 

[Meggiepants]

If it's really nice outside, I get to the point where I just need to be outside.

Regardless of how great the games I am playing are, I have to go outside to enjoy the day instead of playing for a while.
