[QUOTE="Templetroll, post: 646749, member: 2201"] It's not insulting so much as dismaying that you took the question to mean "I'll make gaming the main focus of my life". I didn't get that idea from it at all. Even during the most intense gaming period, when I had more free time and money, I didn't limit myself only to gaming. My social circle was mostly, but not exclusively, gamers. We found that doing things like movies, Christmas shopping, visiting nearby tourist attractions with our friends was more enjoyable than doing it without them. In future, I expect this to continue. Having kids alters the amount of time that can be spent on gaming and brings along lots of other activities for an involved parent to participate in with their child. Gaming happens to be a cool way to spend time with your family, to be surprised and delighted by them. I've found that the TV is much more like to interfere with a relationship since it requires more concentration from you. People who base their lives around a TV schedule are also likely to be fat and unhappy, from what I've seen. Anything in excess is bad for you, although excessive exercise isn't likely to make you fat. :) Those people you refer to are making a decision to limit themselves, which is unfortunate. [/QUOTE]
