A month without video games

So after many years of playing games, playing Warcraft on PC and battlefield and many other games, also still having a back log of games to play through, being 28 now , I’ve decided when is it time to stop playing video games.

I can think of a few times when i have been sat alone in my room playing games unhappy, when there was other opportunity’s to have.

 I stayed in and played the video games, i spent some days of my holidays playing borderlands all day long, I’ve since sold that game so all that time to level up and beat the game and now i dont even have that game. What have i really achieved. So after another weekend of playing around while other life goals go unchecked, I’ve put the Xbox and games away.

Having a month away from the video games, its a start see how i feel after that and if anything else productive takes the space, for all i know a month without computer games mite be an even worse use of my time.

I work on a computer 8 hours a day then i come home and play computer games for a few hours, also the people i seem to socialise with are other gamers , conversations seem to revolve mainly around games and consoles. Perhaps having a different use of my time may bring in to my life different people.

Why 1 month without computer games, well lets see what would happen if i quit games for this time.
I’m almost through the first day and as its a Sunday and my friends have been busy today its been a little boring, could have played some games to fill a bit of this time.

I guess its time to endure the free time and find something else to do, creativity the last year or so has gone as I’ve taken the easy option.
