Unless they are a paid video game tester, that is way too much.

Depends. If he goes to college and/or has a job and does not have other responsibilities (like a family) and he gets out once in a while, I'd cut him some slack. But I'm guessing you're his Mom or Dad and he just hangs around the house. In that case, it's too much and he needs to find a more productive way to spend his time.

If the person is single and has a job and not late on their bills then fuck off.

If the person locks themselvesin to play that long then perhaps their real life is online because they have autisim that makes them naturally want to be alone and ess talkative.

And if they are a quiet person then that right ther should tell you to SHUT THE FUCK UP.

If they are playing world of warcraft the most rude time to make them stop playing is when they are in a raid or a 5 man dungeon. Anything else they can get up and do their real life chores. So anything else FUCKYOU

Up until my early 20's, I could play 8+ hours, no problem. In the past few years, though, I can't play more than two hours without wanting to go do something else.

Exception: I recently discovered League of Legends, and it's fucking addicting. I can play that a couple hours at a time, easy.

Any age - not more than...say...20 hours.

Any more than that is getting excessive. Especially if you're married with kids.

I rarely play video games, but when I do I'm highly addicted for a short time frame. Yesterday I bought Civilization V for nostalgic reasons... Played from about 7:00 PM to 4:30 AM.

Video games are a plague on mankind.

And any White person who plays them should be executed by the state (when it becomes White Nationalist in nature).

And any White parents who buy their children video games should be tortured by the state and then executed.

I honestly don't understand what the fuck is going through someone's head when they buy their kids junk food and video games.

How fucking insane can you be to willingly ruin the lives of your own children?

And these White parents who don't seem to give a fuck about the GPA of their children also blow my fucking mind.

My parents pounded into my head from the age of 3 that grades are EVERYTHING.

If I wouldn't have gotten a near perfect GPA, they would have disowned me.

Yet I see so much White Trash in this area that doesn't seem to give a fuck about honoring their Master Race elf-like White genes and ancestry.

They let them get brainwashed by leftist entertainment all day like MTV and rap[e] music that turns them into degenerate scum; they let them wear bling and act like niggers; they let them waste their lives playing video games all day; they let them become obese; they let them cruise through school with shitty grades; they let them date outside of their race; etc.

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

Is putting just a tiny bit of effort into your lives really too much ask?

Of course playing video games for 8+ hours a day (or even 1 hour a day) is wrong. Holy fuck.

This whole "I'm a gamer lulz" culture makes me what to puke.

That's right. Millions of young adults these days revolve their entire pathetic lives around playing video games... AND THEY'RE PROUD OF IT!?



Oh Mighty White God Zeus. Come down from Mount Olympus and smite your corrupted children...

Free country dude. As long as no one is starving or homeless as a result of your douchebaggery, your life is to live as you choose.

While I take your point, perhaps it could have been phrased more artfully.

the only thing sadder then someone who plays video games all day, is someone who obsesses over grades like that is going to be the golden ticket that leads to happiness.
