I graduated this month and while I was still in school I had enough time to play, mostly because I never study. But yeah, once you have a job, good look putting time into gaming AND a social life. I don't know how people with all systems do it. (They either sacrifice the social life, or barely play anything at all, or have to compromise with both)tagyhag

Some people have all the consoles and still manage. I guess you're right, you gotta sacrifice something to want something.

Funny thing...

when I was in college, I had all the time in the world to play my games but barely enough money to buy any game I wanted.

Since I graduated and held a steady job, I barely have much time anymore and can buy any game I want at any time.

.....life, it sure has a way of sticking it to you.

Haha, you said it man, extactly what I'm feeling, except i still have a couple of years to go before I graduate. I guess its just life.

U gonna get busted for posting the same thread in two different forums.

I had realised it was the wrong place to post it.

Wait till you have a couple kids, a wife, a mortgage a 40 hour a week job... oh and a second and third job just so you can have a little bit of spending money all while trying to keep a tidy house inside and out... game time becomes more precious than gold friend.  I played TLOU for like two hours yesterday and felt insanely blessed. 

oh and side note... I literally only gamed in college with the kids across the hall every once in a while... it was PS1/N64 era... I pretty much skipped the entire generation.

Wow, that was actually pretty depressing.

College is a unique time in your life, one that offers a lot of experiences in a rather confined space and time. I barely watched TV in college, let alone much gaming. But gaming will still be around when you have free time laying around again. Just don't sweat it..santoron

Yea you're right. just gotta figure it out.

Thanks TC. Now I'm depressed too.

****ing electric engineering eating up time like it's ****ing pac-man.

Ahha sorry man, but i've been feeling like this for a month now and I wanted some input. I love my major and am social but i'm still a guy/kid, just no more time to game around.

I had plenty of free time when I was in college.  Sure, around exams and such, you buckle down, but you'll have lots of extra time as well.  However, usually, there's just so much other stuff going on that you probably wont want to game.  Think about it.  College is one of the few times in your life where you are surrounded by hundreds to thousands of young, motivated, smart people.  Do you really want to spend that time in your room?

You're right. Too much competition grade wise. I just wonder how people do it you know, have all the time too aha.

i feel you man! as with everything in life, enjoy it while you can. there are whole genres of games i pass up on just because i know i can't invest enough time in them to enjoy them properly. college days were great for gaming though, going from college to work is where things go downhill fast.

Exactly! i ALWAYS SAY TO MY YOUNGER FREINds, enjoy your time while you have it!!!!!

Maybe I wasn't clear.

I love my major. School isisnt the problem here but time. You get caught up soo much in your priorities and all that deep inside your a guy/kid, and you want to game too. I love school and chilling out side and all, but sometimes you feel like playing games too but all you HAVE TIME TO DO IS WATCH REVIEWS OF GAMES YOU WISH YOU HAD TIME TO PLAY.

The thing is that, it may sound like a weird post but I was wondering, how many gamers here go to college/university and still have game everyday (or whatever routine they have)? I'm asking this is that now that the summer is here and I'm excited because its more game time but lets face it, 2 months is soo short and then with college and university, you barely have time to play.

with the next-gen consoles and awesome new games, I feel pretty depressed of only being to be able to play once a week or even only at holidays because of school and priortities.

I wish I was a kid again :)

Again, not to sound depressing and all but what do you guys feel? Anything to cheer up?

thanks,
