bye bro! Is it possible to grow out of computer/console games?
I've always thought that playing computer/console games were an addiction like smoking and alcohol that you can't neccessarily just grow out of...but in recent years, unbelievably, I have been playing computer/console games considerably less...and I often wonder why? Am I actually growing out of games? It's not like I was really trying to stop playing...I just lost interest all together...has anyone else gone through this phase or is it just me? I mean...I see sooo MANY people much older than me who play computer/console games for many hours...and here I am..."growing out" of computer/console games...does it only take time until you stop playing computer/console games? or am I just temporarily losing interest?
I 've played console games less but my priorities have changed
I think it's possible. i got a computer 5 years age, i played comuter games 4 years with out pause, but year ago i took 1 year pause (scool n' stuff), I did miss playing, but i didn't need it to survive
But yes, i too wondered about the same thing, addiction, the games i played before, and alltogether games are not just so interesting then before, im not even acquainted with new games, or stuff, because i have no interest, but just time to time, it wouldn't hurt to play little

I also used to play computer games but I can actually say that I grow out of it.. now I just someties play some games for 30 mins or even less. I just don't want and don't need it anymore... Now I'm begining to like other things...
In my case is because I don't have time to play videogames as I want. I mean I go to college, I have to wrok, i have a girlfriend now, etc,etc.
Oh and some might say that i just excahnged games with anime :P

I'm 21 and have been playing games from the days of the spectrum and Amiga non stop until now I personally doubt Ill grow out of games or anime and manga ever but then again I am a geek lol. But I can see how someone could run out of time or get bored of it so yeah its possible to outgrow games and consoles (unless you have N64 with expansion pack and Perfect Dark) oh and a dreamcast oh and forget it Ill never stop lol.

I've been through the same but in my case it's the fact that i've less and less free time; so loosing so much hours then start working again make me loose a little bit interest of playing but i still love playing games.
It's just that with growing you've got more responsabilities and you can't afford to loose all these hours innocently; so it makes you feel guilty -> less playing.
Anyway, it's life ...

Well as we all (should) know, just about anything can become an addiction. Rather than talk about growing out of video games, I'd rather put it as growing out of (or overcoming) an addiction instead. I don't consider gaming something to "grow out of", as if it were some sort of shameful act for an adult to indulge in. VGs are an entertainment medium not unlike books/magazines, tv, movies and so on, featuring titles for people of all interests and ages. Spending sensible amounts of time ("sensible" varies according to different lifestyles, where some people have more free time than others) with any of the above is fine, and as long as your life priorities remain intact these things cannot harm you.
I believe it has a lot to do on what is going on around in your life. If you find things that even unconsiously you rather do than play, you'll probably will.
As for me, it is sort of like that... and on-off things. Like now, since I'm done with finals, but everyone I know isn't, no one is free for anything, so I have time to play, and I play. But when I can go out with my friends, read a good book, travel, or other things, I put my games aside, some times even for months.

I’ve stopped playing because I hate playing alone and I have run out of games but what can I do here a game cost an “eye of your face” – a popular saying it means IT FREAKING EXPENSIVE.
Yep...I know what you're talking about! The only games I've played within the last few years are Super Smash Bros, Half-Life 2, and Guild Wars...
It probably has been anime that took it's place...
But with the Nintendo Wii around the corner I feel a renewed sense of interest in gaming!

U got that right! I use to play computer/console games for like a minimum of 4 hours a day or more. Even some of the great adventure games, i replay them over and over again because i couldn't get enough of them.
Is it possible to grow out of computer/console games? I can't, no way in the world i will be able to because games is a part of my entertainment in my life. Its just i don't really have time to play much anymore. With anime being introduced to my life i have less time to play games anymore.
I'm trying to balance all my activities as much as i can with college, studies, part-time work, anime and this generally gives me less time to play games. I can choose to watch anime less and play more games but anime addiction to me now is on a high compared to games. I'm trying to balance that out very much.

Well the way I see it is some people do grow out of it and some people don't. B4 I was addicted to games and i would play it whenever i got the chance . There's this one year where I even stayed home on my bday just to play games but now the addiction is kinda gone. I started to think that games are such a huge waste of time and instead I could be using this time to make money or do something useful.
