I seriously need to fucking stop playing games, its taking over too much time. I need advice from a wiser person on a game plan to get rid of my unhealthy game habits. So far i've uninstalled

Cod2
Cod4
Cod5

but i cant seem to get rid of DotA and starcraft. My brain wants me to but my hands tell my mouse to click it twice, not click it once and press del. FUCK

HALP PLEASE.

Maybe if your hands keep doing that, deleting your system32 folder in your Windows folder would solve the problem.

Don't do it! Once you stop playing games you become a boring and responsible grownup and you can never get your fun back!

now you're going to be annoyed when you have to reinstall and update the games later when you realize you want to play them again.

You don't have to stop playing, just learn to prioritize.

Always try to set mini-goals every day or week that you want to accomplish and stick to 'em.

Yup, this is huge. I found I played games out of boredom. They were like a middle ground that I could just resort to and waste hours on.

I took up, going to the gym, reading, MMA (trust me pick up a martial art, I can't stress how good they are for you), got a girlfriend, and just went out drinking socializing a lot more. I generally now only play games in the evening when I'm just staying in, or on a weekend if theres absoloutely nothing going on.

Make the effort not to play them, and actively look for something to do!

Instead of playing games try reading some of them Japanese visual novels. Games are not timesinks, man, those VNs are.

wow, I've done that so many times haha.

Like others have said, get into a hobby that you genuinely enjoy and aren't doing just for the sake of becoming a chick magnet or seeming like a more interesting individual.

hot_bid always mentions this but its not games that are the problem its the person.

They will probably be healthier and more constructive (dunno if thats the correct term but I hope u know what I mean) than playing video games all day though

My grades suck when I'm playing just Starcraft alone. When I add other games into the mix, shit just hits the fan.

If you're not good at managing your time / restricting yourself, delete them allllllll

(except Starcraft =)!)

I noticed you've only installed the bad games. Don't worry, this is completely normal. You're not suffering from anything.

edit: nevermind, dota is still installed.
