Hey guys are you into Online Games?
Me I am a RAN Online addict, that most of my time i spent playing in this time consuming game. Wasting money in buying leveling cards and sacrificing my own health in just aiming a big level on this game. Not thinking that i have nothing to gain on it, until such time a close friend of mine introduce this profitable site that can grow myself. Though i didn't know yet whether i am IN or NOT, still hoping to have a big chance. So from now on GOOBYE ONLINE GAMES!!!

| Yes some people can get addicted to online games and video games in general. That is why I love the Wii system, it makes you get up a move a little but still enjoying your videos at the same time. |

I am very much into online games but only on the free ones. There are really good free online games out there to choose from. I do know some people who have literally disappeared from the social world playing World of Warcraft.  |

I was very into online gaming at one point. I play mostly card games and would get caught up in the ratings, personalities, finding good partners to play with etc. It took all the fun out of it! I would sit down in the evening to play a couple games of spades, and end up putting people on ignore, using words I am not proud of, getting really mad at mistakes myself or my partner made in a game, even buying a card counter program! I had several profiles so that I could take a risk and play a few hands with a <gasp> strangers partner or opponents, without affecting my fragile rankings, ratings and standings in my various leagues. Ready to puke yet? Yes tell me about it.
One day a friend of mine was telling me he boosts his ratings and rankings by playing against himself. He would make several profiles, log in several times, and play really well with one name while the other name threw the game. Just to get rating points to be able to play better players. That's when I realized it was ridiculous.
Now, I do still play games online. However I found a site where they don't keep ratings from past games, and you can even say Bye I gotta go in the middle of the game and a robot can take over for you. The people are much more easy going and laid back and there isn't that pressure to win at all costs. Now I can actually enjoy playing spades or dominos or scrabble or hearts or cribbage, without sending my BP through the roof with my competitive nature! I play once or twice a week, when I have time. No pressure to log on to not lose my rating or get into tournaments. Just fun, relaxing like it is supposed to be. |

I am SO one of those people! I love online games and get 'addicted' very easily. This is why I have to stay away from them. Since I work on a computer all day long, I end up wasting my day playing instead of working.
As for the Wii, I hope to get my kids one very soon. They were actually sold out at all the stores around here until 3-4 months ago. Anyway, we don't have a yard for our kids to play in, so I think getting them one of these consoles will be a great remedy for the days when we are too busy to take them to the park.

Have you ever heard of a card game called Pitch? I think it is also called Setback by some people as well. Anyway, I love this game and since I only get to play it on the holidays with my extended family, I have been hunting for one online. I have only been able to locate one, but the rules are so different than what I am used that it wasn't very exciting for me. Plus, it was set up like the Hearts and Solitare games that come with Microsoft opeerating systems. Have you run across this game? If so, I would love to know where.

I been where your at with the whole gaming scene. It is a waste of time if you can not control it. I played role playing games, cards, board games etc. Now days I am aiming to be more productive online such as joining this site. Here on this site I can at least be a help to someone.  |

| I used to be addicted to online games but now its all too boring for me. The only hype I get from playing those kinds of games are the healthy competition it gives me. Now I only play games like Starcraft or Call of Duty 4. |

You're kidding me, surely?! That's really insane.
I am an avid gamer, especially MMORPGs. I do enjoy the free ones but my true love is Everquest 2. I've left it to try other games, but I always seem to come back. It was my first and will likely be my last.
I do know plenty of people who are completely addicted to gaming, but I'm truly not one of them. My husband and I enjoy playing together in our spare time. I don't see how it's any different than couples who enjoy going out to the movies, or going out for a night of bowling. This is just what makes us tick, what turns us on, figuratively. |

| I've never been much of a gamer. Sometimes I'll play Yahoo! gin, but I think that's about it. When I was younger I liked to play the Sims and Roller Coaster Tycoon a lot! Other than that, I haven't been too into playing computer/video games. |
