Games and Socail life

This topic of video games is very controversial in the aspect of people playing to much and effecting their social life. For you that dont know who i am i am the kid that walks in and looks like a jock most of the time and i sit on the left side of the room and have no clue what we have talked about until now. i may not look like it but video games have been apart of my life sense i was really young. until college i played video games everyday. whether it was on my PC or Xbox. I've played all sorts.my favorite games are booger-man for the Sega and of course the old school Mario. But above all those CALL OF DUTY. i know ill probably get a bunch of crap for that.

To get to the topic of social life. i used to play in high school 6+ hours of COD a day and still was one of the most popular kids in my school. i was a 3 sport athlete in high school and was very good in all 3 and still had plenty of time to be obsessed with COD. For you who think im blowing smoke if you know how Black Ops 2 ranked players it was by exp points so you had to play alot. i got the game a month after it came out and For the first month i played it i was in the top 10,000 in the world and had over 15 days played. thats 360 hours at between 5 and 10 min a match. If you know the game thats like playing close to 30 games a night. so for the question does playing alot of video games effect how you act in the real world i would have to say it doesnt have to. if you want to have real relationships and still play alot it is very possible.
