How eGO got my grades up and got me fit

...

......

I've never heard of that before, but good for you! Maybe I should take a leaf out of your book and actually do homework before I play.

Edit:

Woah, woah, woah. I should have read some of the posts first, but xfactor said something very important. Videogame addiction is more subtle than you may think, and I too will admit that it has messed with reality (gasp) at times. One of the best feelings is getting a good night sleep knowing that all of the chores/homework/work that you had to do that night are done. The most common sign of addiction is staying up late just to play for a couple more minutes (which turn into hours, believe me).

While I am not trying to demean your accomplishment of implimenting time management strategies, I feel like it might be good to point out something to you.

The fact that you are planning your life around a video game is a symptom of addiction. Video game addiction, just as any addiction, can cause serioulsy problems in your life. Iceman admitted that his grades slipped and ruined some relationships in his life.

It's good that you have made the right priorities so far, just make sure that you keep your game time under control.

Other than that, keep up the good work. I'm happy everything is working out for you. And you might wanna try what penguin is doing. Sounds like a pretty neat work out routine.

really?
 
Addiction to positive activities can be positive though.
So just TRY to be aware of how said addictions are affecting you negatively and you're golden.

Yes really. Care to go on?

Addiction: the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.

You're probably fine right now WaterSnake. Just make sure you're love of video games doesn't go to far.

They have several times, but that was world of warcraft. So far, just a few assignments done later in the night, nothing serious. But I have been more conscious of trying to try harder, and doing my best, not my fastest and then get back to counter strike.

I do believe that alot of people are addicted, just that the negatives associated with addiction cause people not to admit it. It can and usually is a negative thing, but someone (waffle man, I think that's his name) recently made a post that says that eGO keeps some people out of trouble, and that's a good thing. I do believe being addicted to Counter Strike is much more healthy than narcotics.

I do see you have a valid point, xfactor.

Well said. Short, sweet, to the point.
 
Well to me, addiction is alright to an extent. I'm addicted to my computer (although I'm getting back to Gamecube, DS, and Pokemon Red). I'm not afraid to admit it. The thing is, as I said, I've been trying a little harder on my school work, I do Tae-Kwon-Do and Judo, and I am Life Rank in Boy Scouts. So those keep me from gaming 24/7 (which I probably would). I think (this is just MY opinion) that an addiction is alright under certain conditions. Mainly: you don't deny it (that just hurts more), and you don't let it ruin your life.
 
I use eGO strand as relaxation

I wouldnt say I was addicted, I just like it

Im finishing college in June, so if I havent got it all sorted by now im a failure.
Lifes good. Art College here we come.

I think it's important to regulate your gameplay. I usually go for 100 kills.

Denying it is worse, because then you can't see help when it does start to hurt you.

It is a good thing to have other thing occupying your time to keep you from gaming 24/7, that is a good point. Once I get into highschool next year, sports and clubs are going to help me do that. Plus all that homework...
