Sometimes....I regret sometimes because I should be playing outside more, spending time with my family, or getting exercise. But, then again I don't regret it sometimes beacuse it's so fun and amusing, and the games created are just great. So for me it really could go both ways.
No not really. Gaming has caused me to come online more and has become a addiction. But in the end I'm still great at soccer, I in shape so that's good and plus I'm making new friends. So I'm glad I got into gaming.
no i love gaming it's fun and i love the games! I don;t regret something i enjoy and gaming is fun. So i mean i have a life but i get on everyday and it gets funner as i keep playing everyday and i dont ergret one minute of it.
Regret is a strong emotion to associate with playing games. I have to say there are times when i wish i did other things besides play games, but then there are times i wish i was playing games rather than what i was doing. So, no i do not regret getting into games. We all have hobbies/time wasters/money wasters and if it wasn't games it would be something else.
I think the focus here is that the thread starter is worried that people will think he's a nerd for playing games.
Umm, no. That's not it at all lol. I created this thread to see if people would have actually regret getting into gaming when they could be doing something better to get smarter or anything else.
I regret it because, I could be using the time to study for school. I could use the time to talk to my gf. Go outside to play, kinda missed out on that one, I'm 17 and not once have I just played a sport outside of gym class. I mean, never with actual teams and such. I could also use the time to sleep, instead of staying up at night.
I don't regret it, because gaming turned me into the person I am. I don't like to look back on what could have been. I glad that I'm a gamer, a good on at that too. Most people have a type of game where they excel, but I'm pretty much even in all types of games. Not the worst, but I can do better than most. Gaming also helped me learn how to divide up a busy schedule, because I needed to fit gaming in somehow, lol. Because of who I am, I was able to get an AMAZING girlfriend. She plays games, does paintball, is smart, and she's funny.
So i don't care what I missed out on, i regret a little, but I can not change the past. I'm happy with what growing up on video games made me into today. I've been playing games ever since I could remember, 4yrs old is the earliest memory. I had the nes, original model where you needed to push the game in then down. Then I remember getting the playstation, and so on.
nope- created hours of fun times over the years seeing the improvements of all the different games . Its not like it has taken my life away, just added to the enjoyment of life =-) ....although when i played runescape that was different cos i spent alot more time gameing years ago >.< but i still dont regret that cos it was fun and competetive. so overall no - because it doesnt rule my life ... i rule it !
