1 Month Gaming Free
player66 \| 6:13 PM on 01.14.2009	10 comments

So, now I'm on a one month hiatus from gaming. Where before I was pissed about not having time to play, I've committed myself to putting down the mouse/keyboard/gamepad/iPodTouch for an entire month. I got really sick back around Christmas Day and my wife seems to think that I don't get enough rest, so she suggested and I agreed to take a month with no games. No Gears of War 2, Fable II, Resistance 2, Left 4 Dead (PC). Oh well. I've even got a friend at work who keeps reminding me that we need to play through GoW2 co-op on Insane to get the achievement. Damn, well I'll have to post again once the ban is over. LAME!!!

Lucky you.

I don't think I could ever do something like that.

Justice

I should have made that a new years resolution. No gaming AT ALL? I'd find that practically impossible, but I think I'e been inspired to try it thanks to this blog... but just not yet.

TewDee

I would need to prep before hand before I do something like that. Like stockpile on books.

Niero

Are you overweight, stressed out, and sleeping 6 hours a day? That was me last year. I used to get sick all the time. I went from a size 36 to a 29 primarily by switching to diet soda and never eating french fries. I have been way better ever since.

@Niero

I did a similar thing. I don't drink soda or eat anything unhealthy. My body feels better and stronger for it.

Scrixx

Heh, Niero seems to be doing fine, so have I thanks to not gaming at all except my PSP everyone once in a while. School, Workout/SAT and Sleep.

ATTENTION Everyone

I don't mean to steal the blog but I'm really worried about the SATs? What are the best books/websites, I'd appreciate it.

I apologize about this player66

I've been doing something similar, and it really is strange how little steps can improve you quickly. Just taking an hour long walk every once in a while, cutting out pop almost eentirely, and cutting back on food intake really has left me feeling loads better.

"I got really sick back around Christmas Day and my wife seems to think that I don't get enough rest, so she suggested and I agreed to take a month with no games."

How the hell does no games = more rest? i mean maybe LESS games, but none what-so-ever? Me has a feeling your wife duped you into her brilliant scheme.

@Niero,

Overweight - Check
Unhappy - Check
Lack of sleep - Check

I've started feeling better already since getting more sleep, but my (and I totally love her for all other things) cunty wife has been purchasing all the crap that I'm trying to avoid eating/drinking.

In the meantime, I'm gonna really enjoy Feburary 2nd...Fable II here I come.
