Will you regret the time you've spent playing?

A somewhat interesting question: on your deathbed will you regret the time you spent gaming?

Bonus points for a CoH avatar around 4:21 in the video.

Nope. This game is exactly what I need to wind down at the end of the day and has been very therapeutic for me from the moment I subscribed. It's a hobby and it's relaxing. Why would I regret that?

Gaming?
Absolutely not.
I've met more than a handful of good friends through various games over the years.


On the other hand, I know I'll regret every second wasted watching reality teevee....

I will regret every minute I did not spend with my daughter

but that doesn't mean that spending every minute with my daughter would be better

Gaming has been a part of my life for about 27 years. I'm well past the point of having regrets or reservations bout how I spent that time, and how I'll continue to spend time gaming in the future.

Probably. I play an awful lot.

Only if everyone forgets who I am. So probably yes but it will be a small regret compared to some of the doozies I have.

Yes. As much or as little as I'll regret most of the other frivolous things I do.

Doubtful.

If I'm going to regret time spent, I'll regret the time spent at work, having a miserable time. But time spent playing ANY game, especially when it involves talking to friends? Pretty far down the list of things I might regret.

any hobby you regret doing at any time of your life is no hobby anymore just a hassle you think you need to complete and get rid of it.

Gaming is one of my hobies and currently only one that I am willing to spent my time so I won't regret the time I spent on game most probably I will regret the time I spent on internet looking through same pages over and over again for hours though out of boredom :P

I've done a lot of things in my life that I do, or will, regret. Video games aint one of them.

No. Never in a million years. Games are both the best source of inspiration and the best outlet of the stuff my brain requires to function - weird, crazy stories that paint the world in ways I can more easily understand and deal with in a positive manner. Because of games, I've all but eliminated stress from my life, and I couldn't be happier for it.

As a point of fact, a couple of days ago I dealt with probably my lowest of lows in quite a while, when I had literally no desire to do anything - work, play, eat, anything. What solved it? A new character concept, the revitalisation of an old character concept (my 42 Ice/Ice Blaster is finally gone, replaced by a brand new Dark/Dark Stalker) and the opportunity to discuss character concepts, stories and motivations with a few of my friends. Problem solved, and now I can't wait to get back to my pink darkness, which means I can't wait to get my regular job done so I can get to it.

As soon as that woman started listing the things people were most often regretting at their death bed, I could already see where she was going since as far as I'm concerned, games can solve all of those problems.

I had two choices for hobbies... crack cocaine or CoH... I think I chose wisely and won't regret it

Gaming is that thing I do when I need a diversion from my real life and that afterwards, when I go back to focusing on my real life, I find my mind cleared and recharged.

No, not really. It's a hobby and an interactive form of entertainment, and I enjoy it. In a somewhat similar vein, I wouldn't regret the time I spent, say, watching movies either.

Nope. Quite frankly, games have been very positive. Frankly, I think my life is far better thanks to gaming - it keeps me involved with people, and is a way for friends and I to keep in touch with each other and keep active.

I have regrets. None of them have to do with gaming. I regret the 5 minutes or so of reality TV I've watched more.

See my Guides and Tutorials

Not at all. I'm having fun and I'm not posing a danger to myself or others, so it's all good in my book.

No.

nah, I have way bigger things to regret.

i dont watch tv much, and dont catch many movies, so gaming is what fills those 2 spaces, and based on what i have seen on them, i'm not missing much. Just maintain a balance, meet friends, go hiking, lift something heavy, kick something really hard a few times, help some strangers for no discernible reason or whatever you find fulfilling, thats all that can really be done.

now gaming forums, oh hell yeah, i do already.
