When did video games become something more then when I grew up? When I was a kid, games were the filler between watching reboot and getting ready for bed. Now a days its a life style, MY lifestyle, where I stay up till 1 in the morning raiding in WoW.

When did that jump exist for you? Or was it always there?

<--Just another gamers opinion-->

It's always been there, but when you were a kid you didn't have a care in the world. You had other things to keep you occupied and enjoyed life to its fullest. Now as people age, some people use games as a means to escape their normal mundane lives.

It's completely the opposite for me.

I've been playing video games since I was 2 years old, so I didn't spend my childhood being a dumbass and hanging out with other kids. Now, I sometimes play games just to fill time.

For me it was when I got my SNES for Christmas. Not a week later did my parents impose time limits to my playing. Before that it was the occasional Super Mario Land for the game boy.
