mini0mk Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Ok people I have come here to ask if anyone knows what people mean by having a life? Because I always thought it meant trying to make the best of the time you have and enjoy it. People sometimes say to me "Get a life" because I spend alot of time on my xbox when I'm not working. I prefer to play on my xbox rather than going out and get drunk every weekend. In addition I see my mates quite often but not too much. (I don't really enjoy been around people too much) So I ask you this, would you say I need to change and start going out more or are these people just being narrow minded? Also I would also like people to share what they like to do and if someone has ever said "Get a life" to then for playing computer games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coadster1 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Most people say this when they're pissed off, they hardly mean it though. It generally means get a job, get a girlfriend, get laid, so on and so forth. I wouldn't worry too much about what other people say, I mean who gives a fuck what other people say. As long as you're enjoying life, I think it's all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do whatever you want with your leisure time, as they seem to be spending a little of their time doing as they please: commanding you. Horse shit.

Starstrukk X360A Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 You feel that weird thing inside you? It bumps over and over and if you hold your breath it slows down? Yeah, as long as that's pumping you have a life. People that say they have no life are obviously zombies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Bungle Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 You do have a life! We ALL have a life. The difference between "us" and "them" is...we are doing what we want and having fun doing what we want in our lives! To me, having fun/being happy IS a life!

ginge88isfun Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I feel where you're coming from, I get this most of the time by so called friends who spend all day chatting to their girlfriends/fiance's whatever over FACEBOOK while they live together, and they say I need get a life, in fact I do have a life, I have a girlfriend who lives with me, plays xbox with me on just about every game I play on, and we aren't sad and pathetic and chat to each other over facebook when we're in the same room. If doing what you enjoy doing is valid enough opinion for someone to say "get a life" then they need to seriously get one instead of interferring with yours.

RichXbox360 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 People who live their lives by how high their GS gets definitely need to get a life IMO, it's just a sequence of numbers on a screen! It doesn't MEAN anything, same with people who crow about high post counts on forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purge Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I'm not sure what defines having a life.. I breathe, I walk, I talk, I do everything the stereotypical person with a life would do, but still, there have been when I've said to not have a life. I don't like to brag, whether it be about my measly 40k gamerscore, how many blu-rays I have or the number of girls I've had. Maybe it's because I don't brag over a microphone that I don't have one. In my opinion, there's now way to prove that you don't over a microphone, so why bother? If somebody says that, just ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanideSpirit Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Don't let people tell you that because they're insecure about themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonok Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 To me, I hear people say that most often that are the type of person that gauges life by how many bottles they have dragged themselves out of as well as how many ho's they've had. If having a "life" means waking up in a pool of my own vomit after passing out in the back alley of a bar, then I pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almsivi Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Good you brought this up, I recently thought about this too: define "life"... I regularly go out with friends, girlfriend, and what not, and get somewhat intoxicated during weekends, but does that mean that I have more of a life than any other person? So socializing is having a life? I probably end up doing the same thing I do every week on a regular basis - I go to go school and work, go to the gym, study, make my own dinner, then meet friends during weekends. Then it repeats itself the next week. But I also enjoy, like most on this forum I assume, just taking it cool and play some good Xbox games by myself, so I've 100%:ed several retail and arcade games. So I dunno, do I have a life? I find this getting a bit monotone sometimes, day-in-day-out, but I still enjoy myself... I'd say as long as you're having fun and think you're accomplishing something, consider yourself "having a life" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neverender Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 A life? I think that's something you can buy at Wal-Mart. Being serious, though, do whatever you want. Life should be whatever you want it to be, and if someone doesn't approve, then you shouldn't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me ONE person who "lives their lives by how high their gamerscore is" The hell does that even mean? It means that he's insecure about his own gamerscore and feels the need to comment negatively on anyone who has a higher one. You know...Those with lower gamerscores are noobs, those with higher have no lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeekBoy Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 'I'm a gamer, i have multiple lives' Best quote ever!!! My roomies give me shit because after i work a 14 hour day i like to come home and just relax with some xbox. I spend a good amount of time on it because i enjoy it. my roomies like to drink and work on their cars, not something i like to do so I'm happy with my xbox.

DarkestofFlames Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I will tell you exactly what someone means when they tell you to get a life. They mean this "I am telling you to get a life because I am insinuating that since you do NOT live your life EXACTLY the way I live mine that must mean you have no life. You have interests, hobbies, friends, goals, etc.. I probably spend most of my time on Facebook, Myspace, on the phone gossiping, getting wasted and killing my brain cells, shying away from books and hobbies that expand my brain; but I still have more of a life than you, because I have fooled myself into thinking this way." There, that is exactly what someone means when they say you have no life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone ever tells me to get a life, and they say it over facebook comments i tell them to fuck off and get a life as well if they're using facebook to tell me this shit. I get that shit all the time from some buddies, but they're usually just joking around so whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
