Less time on video games

Well for week 2 of my quest is only play 4 hours a day, which goes by pretty quickly. So all i do is watch tv mainly. But it helps with work taking up time. But when they time is up, i plan on starting a book that i bought called Artemis Foul. The series is a good read if you like the fantasy/ mystery type stuff. I got into it years ago, thought i wouldn't like it but i did. I plan on reading this when my hours are up from playing video games. Next week i can only play 3 hours a day. This will give me more time to read this book of mine. I hope its good.  After i am done with this book ill have to find something else to do. Maybe get outside? Hang with friends more? Ill figure out something.

Interview essay/ day 8: the new week begins

Day 8: the new week begins. I dont know know how it'll go on from here. But It'll make just have to keep telling myself, I can do it. 4 hours to play each day this week, got to bring out the timer for this week. For gaming news, red box, you know the $1 movie rental box, starting thing month for renting video games. It'll be twice the price, $2 a day.. still would go to family video or any other store though.

But from the interview essay, the part i thought was interesting was the addiction to video games. Like how many hours it can take up, how you can miss meals, how you can hide into video games to get away from different things like depression, real-world problems, and things like that. Its hard to believe that things like that can happen. I cant believe that people will also lie about playing games, didn't put that in paper but its one of the other symptoms for gaming addiction. It just amazes me.

day 5/.6

For day 5 it went alright, glad work takes my time. For today, day 6 i don't know what will take my time up since i only have 5 hours to play. Ill make it through, though next week will start to get tougher.
But for gaming news. Medal of Honor which is made by EA is trying to get the game back up into the ranks and trying to become the top dog again. After it went astray Call of Duty went up and took over the top spot. But EA is hoping that this will take the top again so they will quit being the underdog. And thats part of the gaming news for today, more on the way.

First day of week 1

First day, alright, going great, can I do this? I bet I can. It wont be that hard at all. Haven't played a game yet, but i know when i first get home that i'll play some for awhile, but i wont be playing that long cause of this 30 day quest, which is a good thing.

30 day quest

For me, I play video games a lot, i mean  A LOT, so 
i say for my 30 day quest i play less video games, start the first week out with a good 5 hours a day the first week, second week go down to 4 hours, the third 3 hours and the last 2 hours. It'll be a little hard but i'll be able to do it
