Great advice..... not
Tell this guy to stop playing games
He only makes $300,000 or so a year playing video games.
On a serious note, it sounds like you have some [i]serious[/i] addictive issues. I have a feeling if we went through your life, we'd find other instances of obsessive behaviors. Might want to consider evaluating your life. Also, were you working during your 4 to 5 hours of gaming per day?[/QUOTE]
I go to work at 11 PM and come home at 7 AM, then I sleep to about 2 PM and then I pretty much play all day except for some eating, shopping and other small things.
[quote="Wolfe, post: 4569271"]Four to five hours is "addiction" level? Or even "a lot?" :odd:
I don't doubt that she felt like she was being ignored, but a lot of people watch more TV than that on any given day -- at least in the united states. At any rate, it's still only about as long as 1.5 to 2 feature-length movies. I don't need to tell you what to do, [B]kekke2000[/B], because you already know and have decided what to do. But don't consider yourself "addicted" because you think you play games "too much."
After you work to solve the problem, and when things level out again, I think you'll find you don't have to sacrifice much gaming time at all. Just don't let it take precedent over more important things; something I'm sure you've resolved to do already. 👍

Exactly my thought. "I don't think it's about the games, but the things that should have replaced the games." (page 1 in this thread)
[quote="NissanSkylineN1, post: 4569935"]Its quite obvious, she's good looking (no mean to hit on your GF) and shes a great person. Try your hardest to get her back

I like when people say my girlfriend looks nice. I'm very proud of her. So thank you :)

Creeper!What's her sleep/work schedule?

It is so wrong that guys go out of their way (and destroy their feet), pursuant to keeping their partners happy, to accompany girls in their seemingly endless shopping trips and yet MOST women groan, whinge and threaten to leave when they guy wants a partner to game with. Yet another of the million reasons male-female quality is a pipedream.
Yeah, but men go shopping with women not too make there partners happy, but if they don't go to the shops that's a lesser chance for sex. Women want men to go to the shops to buy things and hold bags, and because they know they'll go out of the way for the chance of sex which probably won't happen, cause they'll be really tired after 6 hours of shopping.
I'll just put a little update here. She's back!Hopefully she's here to stay. I was at her parents house (where she stayed) yesterday since her mom had her birthday, perfect timing. But I just carried on as nothing had happened at it didn't seem to bother them too much. Felt a bit like a jerk but they are very loving and forgiving.
A few minutes of house work each day and maybe an hour or so in front of the TV with her makes wonders! I actually found myself just standing in my living room and didn't know what to do. I'm so used to just turn on my PS3 so I just froze. Now it's time to find a balance. Right now I wait for empty time (like when I froze) and I always keep an eye on reality. I don't want to sit and stare at a screen while my girlfriend says "food is done, turn it off". I want to be standing there next to her instead. It's not much work for me but means so much to her.

I hope you never unlock the endurance races.. Glad it seems to have worked out so far. You were playing too much in my opinion (assuming a person sleeps 7-8 hours a night you were gaming for 25%+ of your waking life).
That said, videogame addiction is bull. Same as anything else that doesn't chemically affect you. All bull, and that's why you've been able to snap out of it so quick once you turned on your thinking device. Best of luck and stay smart, you're in charge of your brain, after all.
