barbielovesmac Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 For a guy and his friend to sit at home all day and play video games??? I left for work today at 11am. My boyfriend only had one class today (and the day off from work too) and was home by 10:30. He left for his friends house at the same time I did; 11. It's now 4pm ... I just texted him & he's still there. He says that they are playing playstation ... To me that's absurd ... is this just a guy thing? GUYS: Could you seriously sit there and play playsation that long? Or could he be lying about what he is doing. . .NO I don't think he is cheating. Link to comment
Stambler Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yep - we can do things like that! Seriously, yes, guys get to "playing" and we lose track of time! Link to comment
barbielovesmac Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 I find that absurd. Link to comment
jettison Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 5 hours? Do yourself a favor and go watch the South Park episode about Warcraft. 5 hours is nothing. People lose their lives to video games. I'm talking 48 hours straight kind of stuff. If your BF is playing video games then you don't have to worry that he's cheating. In this very rare case, you would actually be overjoyed to found out that he was cheating rather then completely destroying his life playing video games. At least that way you'd confirm that you're together with a vibrant, functioning individual. Link to comment
barbielovesmac Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 The only time he plays video games is when I am not around because I hate them. So I guess it makes since that he would play this long at his friends house. But still ... 5 hours ... I can't imagine that's all he's doing! That's insane. Link to comment
Barg123 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It's about as absurd as watching TV/movies for 5 hours. I'm sure you know plenty of people who sneak into a second movie at the theater, not much different from that. Hopefully he gets up to take breaks in that 5 hour session though. Link to comment
PixelPusher Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I find that absurd. Thank you! So do I... I detest video game systems. What a pointless waste of time. I know many people (gamers) live for this sort of thing, and that is fine, but I just can't wrap my mind around it. To be fair I have my own obsessions, too. Of course, I get to be outside interacting with other people and stay in shape while I do it. Can't say that for pushing a bunch of buttons while staring at a screen. *yawn* Link to comment
Alezia Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I would consider that very normal... don't worry about it. Link to comment
barbielovesmac Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 he isn't a gamer ... or anything like that. he just loves to play the basketball & football games. and the only time he gets a chance is when im not around or when im busy cleaning or making dinner. Link to comment
Aurian Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Some games are major time sinks. I love the games called RPGs and I can easily sink hours into them. I get caught up in the story and in the exploring and battles that often the only thing getting me off them on a day with nothing to do is my eyes getting tired! My bf and his friends can get video game parties going that last all day (and I join in too, and kick butt as well Link to comment
Aurian Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Barbie, sounds like he is just getting some gaming out of his system since you`re not around and he was at his friend's house. You can easily play a few "seasons" on sports games and sink a few hours there. Its competition and male bonding too. I`m amazed that members of the female species can talk for 5 hours Link to comment
Darkness_Falls Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Yeah that's pretty normal for guys/gals who like gaming. My bf is over just now and I think he has been playing for about 6 hours. It doesn't bother me because he is chatting away to me while he is doing it; I have been surfing the net and catching up on pen-pal letters. I have played for a few hours straight myself, I don't know what it is about games, they can just get addictive sometimes! Your bf sounds like a normal guy to me Link to comment
PixelPusher Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Your bf sounds like a normal guy to me If playing computer games for 6-hours is considered "normal" behavior... Man, I feel old. I'd better break out the creamed corn, the walker and my hearing aides and start yelling at all the kids. Link to comment
sharsachan Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 my husband can play that long and longer. as can i. i have played for 12 hours straight before. i wouldnt say its necisarily a guy thing, more so than a geek gamer thing. i have [female] friends who have played just as long and longer as well.

barbielovesmac Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 well, like i said. he isn't a geek and he isn't a gamer. he plays football & basketball. Link to comment
JeckyllNHyde Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 well, like i said. he isn't a geek and he isn't a gamer. he plays football & basketball. still, vid games include those. i can watch tv or be online for agess/hours too. Link to comment
Portage Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I feel bad that you distrust him so much. It sounds stressful. Link to comment
barbielovesmac Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 I feel bad that you distrust him so much. It sounds stressful. mmm...nope. it's not about distrust. its about wondering if he could seriously sit there that long & play video games. Link to comment
barbielovesmac Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ok, honestly it's kind of annoying that he has been at his friends this long ... call me crazy ... or maybe im just irriatable right now because im about to get my period ... but holy hell ............... Link to comment
lenni Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 my ex used to do that too. play for hours and hours - stay up all night when he had a final in the morning, etc. it can be insanely addictive. Link to comment
Aurian Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Does it matter what he is doing with his friend? They may just be hanging out doing guy stuff. You`re not around, so does it matter why he`s spending a long time over at his friend's place? Link to comment
Darkness_Falls Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Sometimes games just do that to people hun, they get into gaming mode and are in it for hours on end. Hard to understand if you aren't a gamer. On another note, I have seen the topic of games addiction on quite a few threads over the last few months. And I will say that it's nice your bf keeps his gaming for when you aren't around or when you are busy. It means the other time is quality time with you Nice bf you got there x Link to comment
Sweet Buttabean Jellayroll Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 that aint no serious question "can a guy sit and play playstation all day" you damn skippy. i did it 2 weeks ago Link to comment
barbielovesmac Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 Does it matter what he is doing with his friend? You`re not around, so why should he rush guy time? you're right. . . he said he'd get home before me & make me dinner Link to comment
Aurian Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 After all, I`m sure we ladies spend just as long doing girl stuff Link to comment
