What would you give up to play videogames?

**MATRiX** · 10-31-2011, 11:58 AM

Quite simple, really. What in your life would you be willing to give up in order to be able to play videogames? A body part? The ability to drive? Da wimminz?

I'm curious to know how far we'd all go.

I already give up sleep, and have given up eating on many occasions.

Nothing too drastic though.

**xthy** · 10-31-2011, 01:17 PM

Sleep. Food, drink and company enhance my enjoyment of the One True Noble Sport.

But I would give up all three.

I've given up sleep for certain games. From staying up all night playing Felix the Cat on the NES as a child to staying up all night just driving the Mako around all the planets in Mass Effect as a man-child, I've been there and will continue to do that kinda stuff when a game hits a chord with me.

As for giving up anything of real note? Absolutely not. I don't need video games that much.

**RinseWashRepeat** · 10-31-2011, 02:07 PM

Nah. I make time for games rather than give up anything.

All in moderation folks.

**MATRiX** · 10-31-2011, 03:33 PM

I would give up my chesthair.

**PappaDukes** · 10-31-2011, 03:38 PM

I would give up video games to play video games...OH WAIT N...!

I gave up having a significant social life during high school to play games. I beat a shit tonne of them and can't say that I really regretted it too much since high school sucks and I'm still friends with all the worthwhile people from it.

And no worries of teen pregnancy! WIN/WIN!

I actually drink less when playing video games. I only get crazy hardcore smashed when I come to Destructoid.

**Victor** · 11-02-2011, 07:45 AM

My appendix.

**Shinobi13** · 11-02-2011, 08:04 AM

Things I've given up to play video games before
Food
Friends
Gigs
Shower
Sleep
Women
Work

All depends on the right game.

DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT EVER AGAIN

**ZombiePlatypus** · 11-02-2011, 08:37 AM

I gave up my gallbladder and I still barely play video games.

**Chainsaw** · 11-02-2011, 09:14 AM

Hm my legs I make software for a living and play games in my spare time.
Those things just weigh me down anyway ^^

Definitely the opposite for me. I tend to game better when I'm faded.

**exp0d** · 11-05-2011, 09:13 PM

I already gave up fitness because of the games. Only other thing I'll still give up is my time and money. This makes me think if maybe there is a way to gain from video games.
