every hardcore gamer i know (including me) are loners. is it a curse... why cant we fit in?? can you? does the world tend to look down on us because we spend most of our time playing video games? for me, its just another art of escaping reality..kinda like music. i wonder what you think?....and i'm talking about hardcore gamers not casual gamers.


actually depends on the games you play and what games people like. im a hardcore FPS and fighting games fan and i have heaps of friends, im the sucker that buys new street fighter games even though they are the same over and over again. but most people i know that play online RPG games like everquest and WOW, keep to themselves. try not to talk about games all the time and try to watch some TV every now so that you can talk to ppl about things that interest ppl not urself.

Which friends? Online friends? If you're playing with Online friends that you don't know personally, I don't think that counts.

lol, I get together with a group of friends (usually like 12+) and play Halo 2
hahaha...most of us can't play Halo 2 that well, but it's still fun.

That would cancel out the loner thing right? ? haha

I'm a MMORPG hardcore gamer, but I do have friends who are also hardcore gamers. We actually play online games together and we are pretty damn hardcore. Sometimes we can play from 8 hours to 15 hours a day. And on weekends it's crazy.

8-15 hours.. Hmm.. I suspect your eyes are in bad condition due to radiation from the monitor.

That may not be the case all the time. Once you reach a certain age, you eye sight sort of stay the way it is, until you get really old, and you can't see.

Jeez all you need is balance!! Play video games whenever you could, maybe leisure, but you'll have to put street smarts before all that. follow your Moms orders. Do it, get used to it, and yeah, you'll be just fine. Not sure bout you hardcore gamers who say "neato!" though....Don't keep sitting on that computer!! Mad

I am a loner. And a gamer. But I think that is just a coincidence. I dont think that all gamers are loners, and I dont think all loners are gamers.

For me, the reason I am a loner is not because people think my obsession for games is weird, but because I just dont like opening up to people. Partly because I have always been the type of person who likes to be alone, partly because I used to be bullied (but now I'm 6' 6" so it doesnt happen any more), and partly because I have been hurt in the past when I did try to open up. The fact that none of my friends are the type of people you can trust doesnt help either.

I used to be a loner back in the days of freshman and sophomore years of high school. I would just go home and play games literally until I fell asleep, which was pretty damn sad. that was more than 5 years ago.

I am still a hardcore gamer, playing 100% completion rates in my games, missing work to fully experience a game without stopping, an so on. But at the same time, I am a popular person at work, I have a girlfriend, and make friends instantly with classmates in college.

The reason that alot of hardcore gamers are loners is because theyhole themselves up in the obsessions, and don't even realise it is all they talk about. Only 3 out of the dozens of close friends I have know I write for AS, know how to build a computer, and video games is my biggest hobby. The reason for this is I always talk about other things that would be interesting to them, not myself.

Hey, I am a hardcore gamers a few years back (played between 50-70 hours per week on PS2, PC and GBA), but that does not stopped from going outside and make friends. People with only games, games, and games in their mind are usually a boring guy who can only talk about nothin except games.

oh....I guess I'm one of the stupid ones....indeed I am a boring guy who can only talk about games. what can I do? I hate sports...having a weak body is a problem I guess, playing games is the only way for me to enjoy my time while at home since I have no friends in our neighborhood.
I don't deny that I'm a loner since it's true. but once I get put of home...I leave my "home" personality there and out the "outside" me which is the Quiet, Lonely but Funny guy.

I'm a gamer and I'm sort of a loner. It's not that I'm shy or too busy, it's just that I have no patience and I tend to dislike everyone I meet. I have a couple of friends I can barely stand, that's about it. Why is it everything people do sickens me?
