I would rather live without Games. The internet is so much more needed and I couldn't play games without playing with my Friends using the Internet. What would you choose to live without??.

Moved to general chat, as D&D is for more structured discussion. To be honest, I think this is a little short lived as it's a bit of a closed question, but we'll see.

[Slamman]

If you have a social life, is there really a question? I think you have to eschew games. The Web just covers more needs in life

[lil weasel]

Lived long without the Internet. Can again.

I'd rather live without the internet to be honest, in fact, I challenge anyone to live without the thing they chose to live without for 1 week. So I go without the interwebs starting from Monday and ending on Monday.

[Slamman]

I did, since I went up North and was not tethered to Broadband in the GREAT OUTDOORS

[acmilano]

Internet i guess,used to play cousin's Commodore 64 long before internet become popular.

[bammargera]

Without the internet, I played games before the internet, and was sufficiently entertained, in fact I would go as far to say that the internet has had a negative effect on gaming.

This. Started gaming in '96/'97, got the internet in 2005. I like to think of gaming similar to books, where you can get immersed in fantasy worlds that challenge you, maybe gives you inspiration and lets you break away from real life for awhile. In this spectrum the internet is like a tabloid that sharply brings you back to reality filled with biased or misinformed fools, showing the best of humanity but most often capitalizing on the worst.

Live without games please. There's so much more to the Internet. I'd be lost without being able to access such a vast resource of knowledge or be able to communicate so freely. I also need Internet access to work so..yeah.

[AlfieWilRus]

I choose no games.

Too much on the web to give it up.

[Markwey]

I would choose to live without the internet, eventhough there are so many things there, but I just like console and other forms of games much much more.

I'd go with living without games. Although it's entertaining and relaxing, you can't play video games all life. Once you get to a certain age, you will find Internet information much more useful. I remember when I was a child that I had so many possibilities to have fun without video games, but I always needed information for different projects I had to do for school, when I needed the Internet.

[Marlowe.]

I reckon I could give up games rather quickly. The entertainment and euphoria components can be easily replaced with a myriad of other activities - some social, some private.
I enjoy games, but sometimes it feels masturbation; it's me alone in room using my hands and to accomplish something futile and has a non-virtual counter act.

Wheras the Internet provides an almost, unimited, uncensored source of information and knowledge. And knowledge is power!
Give me the webz.

[Jeeebuuus]

I only play and enjoy a few video games. I'm only looking forward to two games right now. It would be tough not to play them but ordering books off of amazon is probably what I should be doing more of. I would have to say I would keep the internet.

[trip]

Tough question. I guess I'll keep the internet and buy a couple of pinball machines.

[Outcast]

I'd have to choose the internet as too many essential functions in life are made easier with access.

..also porn

Considering you can have games on the Internet, I'll pick the Internet....

Pretty sure that wasn't part of the deal, and internet game is still a game, therefore the choices are games and no internet, or internet and no games, at all!

[ska]

I've lived without both for extended periods of time and it wasn't that bad. But if I had to choose, it would be games. I'm not much of a gamer in general, so it would be easy.
