10 Ways That Gaming Is Destroying Your Life

Gaming is a fantastic pastime if you're the type of creature who enjoys wasting hours of your real-life spent in various sham universes playing out the stories of fake heroes and villains.

While you may think a big night is playing Dota 2 with your ‘friends’ in Russia who don’t speak a lick of the Queens, normal human people will think that is as depressing as the finale of How I Met Your Mother. Whether you’d like to admit-it or not, playing games sucks in your time like a black hole of pixelated importance that doesn’t allow for a lot of other activities, such as Sunlight, fresh air or actually hearing a real person speak without the use of a mic.

Don’t get me wrong, I downright loathe social life and everything it encompasses, and it’s – therefore – somewhat comforting to escape that horrific world by stepping into another, but come on. Come on. Jesus Christ come on. Go outside. Leave your arse engraved chair and see real things. School, College, University or Jobs doesn’t count.

I’m not saying don’t play games, but being ‘around’ gamers every second of the day isn’t healthy.
