Poll: Would you ever stop gaming?

[blood77]

Initially I always said that I would stop if I ever lost my hands, however, rethinking that point I feel that I would be driven to learn how to with my feet. So the only other thing I can think of if some how me not playing games cured cancer.

If I got bored, sure, I'd stop. A hobby's only good so long as it occupies you.

That said, I'm not bored yet.

Once I'm past uni, then yes, I'll stop.

 

[Iampringles]

I do stop gaming, when I go to school, and sleep, etc.

On the whole I see it as a casual pass time, rather than a choice of lifestyle.

 

[PrinceMarth]

I think the only way I'd stop gaming is if my fingers/hands broke, but then I'd learn to be a weirdo and play with my feet.

As long as I have 2 thumbs (or reasonable facimiles, cyborg thumbs FTW) I will keep playing.

 

[Zombie_Fish]

Currently I'm going through an on/ off phase. I game very little but I do still like to play it. I don't play much but I do want to do it more nowadays.

Short Answer: No

Long Answer: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Great reference there. I have to agree. Unless games start getting bad or too expensive I see myself gaming for a long time.

 

[antipunt]

I doubt it.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

That depends how skilled of a brain surgeon you can find.

 

[Beffudled Sheep]

A shotgun to the face wouldn't stop me from gaming.

 

[Blank Verse]

I've already quit.

I've increased drumming, running, reading and pleasurable visits with the girlfriend. Soon college will continue, too.

...sometimes I grow nostalgic for games. That's when I stalk the forums.

Hi.

Skills don't mean a thing, it's the fun I have with games that counts!

Pretty much this.

 

[SimuLord]

I've pretty much quit out on console gaming...when my 2000-issue PS2 conks out that'll be it.

However, as long as I own a PC there will be something I'm likely going to want to play on it, from Total War to Elder Scrolls to stuff I find on SourceForge.

Rock band/Guitar hero being the best examples of this.

 

[Valiance]

When my muscles get slower, weaker, and my reaction speed slows to the point where I can no longer compete.

Then I'll stop online gaming, and go back to my beloved turn-based strategy.

It's not out of the question. Esp. since the gaming industry hasn't impressed me much lately. It's almost like they're not even trying anymore. Then again I can hardly blame them, when us fans are damn near impossible to please and are constantly whining and belittling their hard work. Yes I'm looking at you Yahtzee.

 

[Laura.]

Hell no. I'd never quit.
