The reason this thread is not in Playing Games is because the challenge is to not play any. I need to go a full week without playing video games, and even non-video-game computer time like forums and the youtubes will be limited.*
Which raises the question, what the hell else am I going to do? I live in a tiny little apartment and it will most likely be raining for the next week, so anything that takes a great deal of space or going outside is out of the question. Worse, my girlfriend is out of town so I can't just go hang out with her all week. What do you guys do when you're not playing video games or here? Any good books I should look at? Should I just rob a clinic and sedate myself so I sleep the whole week? I'm going to be extremely bored, so I'm willing to do anything that's not really crazy. Or would require me to not be lazy. Exceptions to this are anything that could be seen as "productive" THE RULES: 1. No time on any video game. This includes computer games, console games, Handheld video games, and most iPhone apps. 2. No more than 1 hour every day posting and browsing on internet forums (this means I'll just be checking in real quick multiple times through the day to spread that out more) 3. Must be engaged in some activity as often as possible. Sleeping the whole week counts as a loss. HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BEAT THE ULTIMATE NOT-VIDEO-GAME CHALLENGE?

DVDs, books.
I have no idea of your own personal tastes in either so... yeah, go with whatever interests you. It's not hard.

You have Netflix? That should help a little bit, but only if you get DVDs sent in.
You could also tune up your computer with some programs, or just run virus scans, too. |

Read a few good books. Do some yardwork. Take a walk. Make a campfire and regale your neighbors with ballads of yore.
If you have to think about this for more then two seconds, you have a problem and should probably seek help. |
