Why do people that "have a life" suck so bad at video games?
"I have a life" is not an excuse. Just be honest with yourself and admit that. Stop blaming the wife, kids and job for your poor hand to eye coordination or problem solving skills.
I absolutely suck at Madden. Have no patience with Dark Souls and I suck at Fifa. Its cool though, you wont find me actively playing those types of games let alone post on their forums about how my "life" is the reason I throw 30 interceptions in a game.
Almost every great person in history had a wife, kids and a job. They accomplished great things under even greater stress. Why cant you stay positive in a crucible match? Because you suck at video games and dont want to admit it.
Would you try out for your favorite Soccer team? Would you attempt to outdrive a formula 1 racer? Would you enter the olympics with the hopes of winning a medal? Not if you knew you sucked at it.
Im not saying you cant play the game......just that you suck horribly at it.
Stop using life as an excuse and just admit to yourself that you suck at video games. Its cool, its only a game designed for children over the age of 13. How much should that matter to someonenwith a life?

Edited by sergeantawesome: 1/12/2015 1:07:48 PMGenerally, the amount of time you spend at doing something will contribute to becoming more skilled at it. If you have less time to do something, then you are less likely to be as good at it. If you have extra responsibilities that take you away from your hobbies, that is taking that time away. Some people can spend all the time in the world at something and still be terrible at it, others can pick certain things up quickly, but in the end, those with more time are going to be more skilled, and those with less are not. So responsibilities like families and jobs can detract from improving ones skills at a video game. I don't think one could directly blame their spouses, children, or jobs directly for this. It is time and how much of it they have. And like someone else said, people like to play games for entertainment and may have no concern for their skill level.
