Let's see
Usually, when I am not playing FFXI I am: At class Doing homework Drawing Playing an offline game Cooking Cleaning Watching a movie Drinking Out with friends On a camera adventure taking lots of pictures Something with my fiance. We do a lot together, actually. I do almost everything with him next to playing FFXI, since his MMO of choice is WoW.
I will agree with what the majority of people have stated: it's 'okay' to play games casually. Lots of households own at least 1 gaming system, these days. MMOs are a different story. I think mostly because a lot of people find themselves being sucked into the virtual world and never coming out. People love their big e-peen, that they don't have IRL.

Logic would tell me that if I spend my life in front of a computer/tv screen playing video games, a girl I'd like to be around would do that same.
However, there's the flaw of women not following logic all the time, so I find these really weird creepy girls that there's a reason they don't have boyfriends yet >.> hahaha poor Row~ you can be like the other thread and meet a married girl in ffxi and then <Steal> her <Away>~ lmao j/k j/k j/k!!

Sorry, that's how the saying goes, if you wanna be younger you'll just have to feel up younger women.

I sometimes wonder what people do when they log off. I used to work as a phlebotomist (guy that draws your blood), but I am now a full time student.
I also am curious how people share a decidedly nerdy hobby with the general population. For instance talking about the latest ball game is viewed as more social acceptable than talking about your latest in game achievement.
Furthermore, with a general increase in the number of people using video games as a source of entertainment, do you ever see a day where video games in general don't carry the negative connotations that they currently do?
