Define "Get a life"

Hello guys,

As most of you know, whenever a player accomplish something that is considered really good, there are always haters.

This might be obvious since alot of people are jealous, some might dislike the player in question or they are just trolls.

What I wanted to point out is the actual meaning of the sentence: Get a life.


As i've interpreted it, it means that you should quit (internet) gaming and go do something thats not game related but physical ( this might sound retarded but it will clear up in the end of this post)

Life for me is doing things that you enjoy, things that amuse you and makes your time go by with joy.

For example.

Some people might enjoy playing a certain sport, some even live for that sport and they do whatever they can to be the best as possible in it.

Are they geeks? should they "Get a life"?

Because what you get out of sport is a competitive feeling and obviously joy whenever you manage to win/ do something that you consider to be good.

If someone would enjoy playing cs as much as playing for instance :football. What defines him/her to be a geek? when all he/She is doing is enjoying her/himself with obviously "competitive" or socializing activities.

As the world evolves, it has come to my attention that Esport has grown enormously and if it keeps peaking this way, i could see it being used by almost everyone in the future.

Basically, telling someone to get a life is utterly retarded, to accomplish great things you need to put down time to do this.

To sum it up, The outcome of what you do is what matters. not what you are doing.

And in this matter, isn't evolving a quite major factor for this community to stay alive?

Just reconsider what you type in comments, trolls.

nice post dude, f*** haters.

^ WOOF.exe more like RETARDEDSAWTHATMEMEONCETHENCOPYPASTEEVERYWHERE.exe.

OT : There is a simple reason to the fact that "Get a life" sounds retarded : You stated it yourself, most of the people saying "Get a life" are haters, and mainly jealous. So, we can like these to the fact that haters are drastically retarded.

I don't remember if it was on XJ or reddit, but there was a biiiiiiig thread about what is a sport and what is not considered as a sport. Most people were like "l0l for me sport is physic thing stuff stuff derp derp" which, I believe, is retarded aswell. What defines a sport for me is the competitive feeling you actually feel when you're playing this sport. So for me e-sports are an enormous part of sport. I don't know if e-sports makes your brain produces endomorphine aswell though, but I believe so since I feel actually fucking good while playing competitive league of legends, SC2, etc.. That thrill is just too good. And I wish for both community and integrity of these e-sports, games or whatever, that they'll just become recognized as real sports and that people will start to think twice about they say and stop saying "get a life" or "nerd" to anyone giving just the same amount of time to a video game than a sport.

When you spend too much time in front of your computer, then you are wasting your life in my and many others opinion. What do you get in the end by geeking a computer game to death alone in your room with virtual "friends"? And what do you get by geeking a game like football with real friends outside in the sun? Physical and mental satisfaction. Do you get that by geeking PC games? I doubt so... Well, atleast I never felt satisfaction by playing Kreedz more than 2 hours (and I certainly wasn't a geek).

No offense, but your post sounds like a limping justification for sitting in front of the computer all day.

people who are worse than you call you a nolifer
people who are better than you call you a noob
its been like this since forever :[

you live and then die, what you do inbetween nobody cares about in the end, and it wont change

Well, I may seem somehow ignorant for writting this, but I guess nowadays kids/children get too much into this computer games and begin writting theories about this, which way too pathetic in my opinion. As a friend of mine translated me a sentence from a russian serial: "Taken this generation back in Soviet Russia days, neither they would sleep with a girl, nor even kiss one". I know it's kind of aberation though it's actually true. Why do people start defining mental satisfaction playing computer games? Do you actually understand what kind of sickness is this? Go to doctors and speak about that - a normal person must maximum stay ~1 hour in front of the computer/ day. If taken so, I also spend too much in front of the computer as well, though I have an excuse: work. What the hell? Since when it became normal to gain satisfaction from computer games? If I start developing this theme, I'm sure I convince you 100 % you are not right. One example to prove myself: killing people or taking drugs also brings mental satisfaction to certain people. I think this is enough said. And believe me: there is a small difference between playing cs and taking drugs. Some people forget about such elementary things like: WC, eating, drinking or simply take some fresh air only because they spend too much time playing computer games.

I was in such a period as well when I consider geeking games is quite interesting (but not to get the wrong idea, for me 3-4 hours in a game/day is already abusive geeking). Well, I played once a ~7 hours and I've got headache, I couldn't think clearly and I forgot as I mentioned before about such things like taking some fresh air.

My recomandations to people who think that computer is good: get a job, make money, get alcohol, get company of friends, get a girlfriend(if you are able to) and live your life. Otherwise you'll wake up at the age of 40 with a child playing abusely computer games and you'll have your heart broken. You'll wake up at the age of 70 and think once again: "Why didn't I do that when I was young? Why was I that stupid to play some computer games instead of living my life to the fullest?"

I do really regret that there is democracy in this world, which actually just covers the devil behind the scenes. Better were the days when none of this home computer technology existed. Better were the days when "mother democracy and father law" didn't exist to punish people that kick other people for talking shit about them. Better were the days when law didn't punish the parents who take children's computers and don't give it to them(yeah there are such stupid cases nowadays, believe me or not).

Wasted generation ... too wasted.

If defining "get a life" - I said everything above: get a job, make money, get friends, go to parties, drink, dance, eat, travel, get a girlfriend/wife and live your life to the fullest (well ofc if you are 18+). Internet teaches you nothing (almost). And for kids under 18 who spend too much in front of the computer - do sport, walk, meet with friends, make jokes, get a girlfriend(again - if you are able to), talk to elder people, learn important things in life from others experience, watch movies, go to cinema, listen to classic music(it develops your imagination) and forget about this piece of crap machine - computer.


PS : sorry if offended, I know it's tough, but it's truth anyway.
