But a buddy recently told me he allocates 2 hours per day playing WOW (world of warcraft). Said buddy proceeded to say he is getting fat, but only has 50 minutes a day to hit the gym because he has to get back to put in his daily two hours of WOW.

I think these type of men lack testosterone production


He is fat because of what he is eating not because he exercises too little or plays games.

Unless he is just sitting around the gym and hour per day is decent. I play games but not on any regular schedule(average 6- 8 hours per week...more during summer) but it doesnt interfere with any responsibilities or family time. When it does..like any hobby...its a problem.

No different than being on the internet or watching TV for 2 hours.

The issue here technically isn't playing video games.

If he said he got home, spent 1 hour on TD, FB, checking his email, then spent 1 hour watching a show on TV, would you think the same of him? Because the 2 are no different.

why do you care about the legality of it? So if grandpa joe wants to grow a couple Mary Jane plants amongst his tomatoes, we should throw him in the slammer?



I was more thinking about child porn and the like. I'm fine with Gramps growing a little stash for his "glaucoma"

Some of them make millions doing it while I don’t so they have to be smarter than me.

How many people do you think spend 2+ hours a day watching trash TV? I would assume the vast majority of the population spends at least 2 hours watching TV every night. It's basically the same thing, IMO.


I have yet to rage while watching Naked and afraid
but i kinda see your point.

WOW is another job at max level. As for more general video games, the amount that they can test your reflexes and your mental facets is amazing. I’m sure that as VR becomes more in depth to the point that physical movement can completely replace a controller that it will be a premier way to train your body in all sorts of things. They are made for competition or puzzle solving, much like physical games like football or solitaire.

Also, they’re fun.

To each his own, but personally a huge turn off for me.

I enjoy video games.. have my entire life (I'm 32). It's better than just sitting in front of a TV not interacting in any way. At least with video games you develop some sort of skill. People get paid to play games these days. Still playing Overwatch religiously.. I have 1,000 hours in that game exactly since it launched May 23, 2016.

Completely different things. There are things that are legal that I Personally find reprehensible (who the hell orders a steak well done?) and things that are illegal that, as long as you are doing them in the privacy of your home, shouldn’t be anyone else’s business.

As long as it isn’t hurting kids, and everyone is consenting...have fun, just don’t bother anyone else with it
