Ya, Gaming is considered childish activity in India. I too often come across this insults, but I say since I work for a long time on computers, I play games for few minutes in between which helps me in relieving tension. Also I prefer gaming than watching movies, becoz gaming tunes ur brain

Same thing here! Possible conclusion: Parents might be harmful for the eyes? . So exercise caution and do play some games after coming in contact with parents?(No offence meant, see the disclaimer!)

I have started to turn a blind towards the fools who despise gaming as a useless hobby .

 

[Ecstasy]

According to my parents and my gf, gaming is a childish act but i choose to ignore them and continue gaming...

I feel its a dumb stereotype in India considering gaming to be a "useless pass time".

Even i wanted to be a tester or a game developer but i guess destiny and my parents have some other plans.

Age- 23

Profession- Done my BMS graduation and now my profession is gaming lol
But will pursue my MBA abroad by this July.

Games- Fifa (all time favorite), NFS MW, Urban Terror, CS, CoD 1,2,4, Lineage 2, MU Online, etc.

"useless pass time"

I wonder what a usefull pass time is...Atleast gaming improves reflexes and you are heavily concentrating and moving a little atleast....not like movies and TV where you just sit and move only to eat and grow fat.
Studies have shown that 60% of the worlds gamers are older than 25.

Age: 17
Profession: student
Games: currently none as boards are comin up...But i have been gaming for ages and will continue to play all the latest games and buy gaming rigs...

Babu, gaming helps a lot, increases ur "neurokinetics"
Too much NFS and good dosage of GT4 has made me best driver in my family although I refrain from doing drifts and donuts in public but Burnouts are still acceptable.

lot of my friends doesn't play games but when I play, they never complain. But when there are more than 3 or 4 friends in my room. They make me stop playing coz they just can't sit seeing me playing games. Not a single word about wasting time.

PS: I know how others pass time. They know how I pass time. we never complain about others habits.
