2 words: [bleep] society.

 

Secondly, why do people come on a gaming forum just to tell others how great their live is and to spend it the way they do?

I haven't seen anyone saying "Live the way i do". And sure it might seem like some of us do but that is only becuase some of us has been to the pits and back. We've seen what an addiction can do and obviously we would not want to see people around us go down the same path and fail. Giving some advice is a good idea. Wether they choose to take it or not is up to them. Sure at the age of 13 - 16 this won't affect you at all. So go ahead and no-life then. But once you turn 17 or 18 and beyond and you find yourself playing RuneScape (or any other game for that matter) so much that it starts taking up time you need to spend behind the books or at work, then you need to start worrying. It's not just about the fact that it affects your health, but it also affects your wealth. Not going to Uni (or failing Uni) because you choose to play a game instead of studying is not a wise choice. At the end of the day those people have very little hope to ever make something of themselves. The sooned they realise to prioritise the better.

So this whole thread might not be aimed so much on the younger teens as it is on the older teens or younger adults.

No lifeing RS is the exact same as no lifing sports, or no lifeing going after women.

 

People 'play' life the way THEY want. If it doesn't affect you in any way, what right do you have criticizing others who do what they want.. :???:

 

 

Not trying to offend anyone, but the term no-lifeing really irks me.

Pretty much summs it up. Advice is good and should be encouraged in most cases. What bothers me though, are people trying to shove their way of life down other people's throats because they just cannot imagine how other people might be happy with a different kind of lifestyle.

Some people are saying let them do what they want, well I very much doubt that these addicts really want to be doing what they're doing but that it's a form of escapism because they can't handle the real world for whatever reason. We shouldn't enable them by saying "it's OK" but rather strongly encourage them to seek help. Would you say "do you what you will" to a alcoholic, a morbidly obese person, or a drug addict? I don't think so.

100 hot pockets daily

I don't see how people have, for centuries, spent their lives doing pointless things like playing sports, playing random games/puzzles, going after women for the thrill of it, etc, and none of them are deemed to be the same kind of loser that a no-lifer is.

 

Once you really think about it, there's nothing that will really have any significance in life. 99% of the time, nobody will even mention your name 10 years after you die, except for your family and close friends who outlive you, so why not make life as enjoyable as possible doing what YOU want to do?

 

Agreed. This is why the term "no-lifer" is so funny. It's usually said by someone who values football or television or engineering or government or sex on the beach moreso than video games. There is no objective meaning to any of those, so it would be hypocritical to say, "Go get laid - it's more important than video games." The video game nerd could use the same argument against you.

 

Of course, I believe that some folks do take their gaming too far, spending their entire lives dedicated to a couple of statistics. But really, I feel that way about anything that's taken to an extreme. My opinion on a good life is a balanced life. The thing is, that's only my opinion - people are entitled to their own interests no matter how lame I deem them to be. I don't have a problem with it or try to ridicule them for it or tell them to "get a life". It's just a simple matter of me personally preferring a balanced lifestyle.

Basically it's a frozen processed form of "food" that is sold in north america, possibly some other parts of the world. Comes in a variety of flavors and forms and as den said, it's a bread "pocket" filled with some filling; cheese, pepperoni, or some other meat. You can microwave it for about 2 minutes and have something.. good tasting to eat? It is usually stereotyped with being popular amoung avid computer users, nerds, or gamers because it doesn't take long to cook.

For whoever is actually serious in this thread,

"Getting laid" will lose it's color once you realize how easy it is lol.

OT: Talking to friends online is socializing, unless you have 0 friends on your list, play with all chats off, you are socializing in some way whilst being on RuneScape.

There is no such thing as "No lifeing" you play the game for entertainment, when it's not fun you stop...?

There isn't a time limit on how much one should/shouldn't play.

You can play for 20 hours one day then not for a week, how is that harming anything?

 

E: Just read the majority of the posts I skipped, Lalala hit it perfect.

I ate them before. They're sold all over commercial groceries and I have to say they are the WORST frozen foods ever. They

literally taste like something used in a barn was rubbed into it. Very terrible stereotype imo.

 

Someone's bitter. And sort of racist.

 

Well as far as I know, the term "western" I used refers to a whole culture in the western hemisphere of the world. Doesn't

target at a specific race so no, I'm not being racist at all and I sound bitter only because truth hurts.

Animals get laid by natural instincts. They were like biologically made to reproduce. But its too bad WE have to play stupid flirting games made by obnoxious, westernized,

indulging women to get anywhere close to sexual contact. It sickens me that having sex is a fundamental part of getting a life because it's unfortunately the majority

who doesn't have a triple digit IQ with an exceptionally large hormonal mind running the society. I have no basic definition of No-life that involves playing games or doing

something futile for a long period of time but I personally don't think it's ANY of my business to tell someone who's probably 1000s of miles across seas away from me what his life should be like. I have every right to govern my own life and I don't think anyone should tell me otherwise because it'll only make you sound like an idiot that I won't even listen to.

Sorry i MUST be missing something, but how is the term "westernised" even close to being a racist remark? Please, make my [bleep]ing day and explain this.

I have friends who are maxed in all skills and still hold down very respectable jobs. I, myself, am close to maxed in all skills. Does that make me a no-life? What is 'no-lifing', by definition? Someone who is good at the game? Because that's the common misconception amongst many young RS players; You cannot have high skills without no-lifing.

 

That being said, I don't see where it's anyone elses business what somebody does with their life. I've done my share of no-lifing. The majority of players in any MMORPG have. If you're arrogant and pretentious enough to look down your nose at somebody, for not living as you deem fit, you should examine your own life. I'm sure you'll find many, many places where you can grow and excel from where you're lacking.

Hey guys,

 

I removed a tremendous amount of trolling from this thread...

 

Also, posting porn site links (ya! 2 of them on this thread!) is really really against the rules.... just a reminder. :rolleyes:

I'm posting responsibly today.

 

The way I see it -- and Lalala pretty much covered this -- it's no-one's business what I or anyone else decides to do with their time. Have I no-lifed? No, I don't think so. I've played for six-eight hours straight on rare occasions, but only when I was very close to 99 slayer. Honestly, I enjoyed it. I wish I had the time and resources to dungeoneer to my heart's content for the next few months, but I'm far too busy for that these days. Just as my circumstances in life keep me from playing as much as I want, others' circumstances allow them to play as much they want. There's no difference.

 

For the record, it's entirely possible to live a stereotypically healthy lifestyle while playing Runescape for six or more hours a day. As a 30-year-old 500 pound virgin living in my parents' basement, I can attest to that.

To put it bluntly, [bleep] off.

Saying westernized isn't what makes it racist...the way you portray the western society is. It's like the word "black"....calling a person black isn't racist if they actually are black, it just depends on what you say before/after the phrase.

I didn't actually read your post, so I don't know how you portrayed them, just my guess on how they interpreted it

Good to see we have a few people here that can apply logic to certain situations. :thumbup:

I have how you say something and seconds later morons start tossing out the race ball around.

I won't say how I do it, but my RS play time takes ZERO time away from anything social.

I'll say how I do it.

 

I just make time for everything I want to do. Best advice my parents ever gave me. If something is important to you, you'll make time for it.

 

School, my job, my fiancée, my family and my friends. Yet, I manage close to 6-8hrs of Runescape a day. Why? I make time for it. Like I make time for everything else. You know, it's called an average for a reason too --I don't do that everyday--.

 

Recently I've taken up weightlifting and have put on 15lbs (190lbs now!) and I am loving the feeling. It helps me stay energized and focused, while feeling great and eating great.

 

But like I said, you make time for the things you want to do. And it's no-one's [bleep]ing business how anyone chooses to spend their time, other than themselves.

It may be other's business if they are either leeching off society (welfare) or otherwise, but outside that, you are right.
