The gaming thing, at which point does it become "sad"?

[Nerfherder17]

When your MMO account gets banned and you have a fit which becomes the most popular viral thing on the web.

When you realise you enjoy gaming more than real life

When you'd sooner play them than go out with friends

Probably when it gets to the point that you're only really playing to fill some kind of void rather than for the entertainment and challenge...I can relate, and I gotta tell you it's not pretty.

If the only people you talked to whole week were the same 3 guys as always.
And it is sadder if this only happened online.

when you'd sooner play them than go out with friends

or this (but lets say "meet" instead of go out. If they just want to hang out its ok too still a reason to unplug from the webs)

When a friend of mine woke up at 9 in the morning to play the Gears of War 3 beta, instead of meeting his girlfriend (who he lives with her in her parents house) at the train station which is a 5 minute walk at the most.

find a dog off the street, get him cleaned up

adpot him and take him for walks!

ok I know thats silly as the dog probably has some diseases and you probably couldnt afford the vet bills but yeah, Id love to have a dog.....

I'm a cat person
