How much video gaming is too much? And how do you strike a balance between work and play in your marriage? I am an avid video gamer but my husband doesn't play. He has a list of stuff to get done around the house a mile long. And I really want to help out, but I also want to game. Now how can we strike a balance that we both can agree to? We've tried limiting the hours that I game but I usually push for more time. We've tried having to get all the items on my "to do" list done before I can play but then I get resentful. Infact, I feel like a child that he has to monitor all the time and I don't think that's helping our relationship. At this point I have basically given up video games to keep peace in my house. I want to pull my weight around the house and I want him to respect me but at the same time I don't want to give up video games. No, he doesn't want to play with me - I've asked him many times - infact I think he resents it every time that I play. And just to be clear, divorce is totally not an option - I love him more than video games!!

Is video gaming an expensive and disposable hobby? I want to buy a DS and PSP and start gaming (I also have a PC and will be buying more games for that). However I'm begining to wonder is it worth it finance wise? The games are expensive and they could be a waste of money because you only play them once then leave them and get another. My mother voiced this concern yet my brother is an obsessive gamer in PC, Xbox360 and PS3. He must have spent mass of pocket money on games over the years yet he often plays them again.

Online video gaming sucks? Is it impossible to have fun playing human vs human? I am very disappointed with video games lately, but with online games it just seems impossible to make a quality game. I haven't played that much online games, but you can clearly see that 98% of the players that go online are people with the mind of a 10 year old. You just can't have fun, unless you play a game 10 hours a day, learn every move, every trick, every map at perfection, and own everybody else. But the goal of these people is not to have fun, but to win. I often see idiots doing lame things in BF 2 like camping vehicles, proning when 2 metres in front of me, bunny hoping, etc. The critical thing is that most of them are even stupider than the AI. I order them to pick me up in the vehicle...they ignore. I throw them medical supplies...they go on although they're almost dead. I tell them to get in the car..they preffer 200 m of walking. What to tell about teamwork? That is impossible. Sometimes, I feel that only incurable idiots play games.I think coop is the only solution. I have to admit that it is terrible fun to play with friends, but really you can't fill up a 64 slot server, and in the future a 128 one. The point I'm tryink to make is that the goal of these 10 year olds that populate absolutely every online game is to win, and not have fun. Even in the perfect game they find exploits and tricks that ruin your gaming experience to the point that you, the guy who wants to have a bit of fun when starting Battlefield 2 for example, gets only frustration and boreness. I tryed WoW, but I don't like the MMORPG genre. I want to be a programmer when I grow up, and it's to my attention that gaming sucks bad lately, even in general, not only online.

Are the next generation platforms the death of video gaming? Seems to me their too expensive for most people or just not reliable at all. And I've seen nothing fresh really in the new games outside of graphics and the Wii controller. I feel a crash coming on like back when the game craze died in the 80's.
