When do teens stop playing video games?
On their 20th birthday. They’ll never play a video game as a teenager again!Seriously, speaking from experience, when I moved out of my parent’s house and couldn’t afford a computer or gaming console I stopped playing games. I had to pay rent, eat and utilities, not to mention spend a substantial amount of money for hanging out with friends and dating. Once I had better work, it became easier to find money to spend on entertainment devices like gaming consoles and software, but that wasn’t always a priority.Gaming is no different from reading or listening to music or any other hobby that someone can have. If you have a problem with a teenager that’s spending too much time playing video games, then limit their time on the machine. I assume you’re a parent and you have that ability. If they say “I’m 18 and I can do what I want” then say “Okay, go do it somewhere else” and let them fly.Chances are, they’ll fall flat on their faces and start living life and go on to be awesome adults that will realize that there are many things out there that can keep them entertained. You will probably disapprove of all of them.I gamed a lot when I was young. My dad constantly complained that I was wasting my time and wouldn’t amount to anything. Now I have a great job in IT and can afford to raise my children and complain that they’re wasting their time, too! Circle of life, man!
How do you find time to play video games when you have a job?
MAKE time for yourself.I work a minimum of 40 hours a week (between 48–56 most times) at work with between 30 and 45 minute commute each way. I have an 11 year old son and a fiance that works a full time job as well. We all have our own schedules and it’s sometimes stressful as hell trying to find time for all of us together but we manage.What that doesn’t do is leave a bunch of time for me to play games and destress. My fiance saw it happening and we sat down to talk. Now once or twice a week I take a couple hours and just deflate on whatever. Sometimes it’s video games, other times if they’re around, my son, my fiance, and myself all sit down and watch a movie, or binge-watch something on Netflix.IF you’re going to try and “make time” for yourself you have to follow some rules.Don’t bring work home with you, if you HAVE to work from home, set strict guidelines on when and what kind of work you do.I’m serious about this one. When you start making excuses to do just a little work here and there, you eventually open yourself up to more and more and poof, there goes the free time you were supposed to give yourself.Don’t get mad if your time to play video games, watch a movie, smoke a cigarette, or whatever your choice is gets cancelled/preempted.This is especially true if it’s family that preempts your free time. They are your family. Your games, movies, TV, and even addictions can be replaced. You can’t repair cracks in a relationship once you start breaking them open.Getting upset that your free time gets preempted is the exact opposite of what the time was intended for in the first place. You don’t have to enjoy whatever preempted you (eg: hospital visit, funeral, visiting mother-in-law) but don’t let it ruin your time.Consider getting a pick-up-and-play game app. Something you can open up, play 5 minutes, and close.Ironically enough, even if you don’t really enjoy a lot of these games, there’s enough variety in them that there should be at least 1 game that you enjoy.Much like chewing gum or toothpicks for smokers, the chemical dependency of endorphins from playing games can be substituted with small games (instead of the larger more immersive games.)The basic gist of the whole thing is you have to MAKE time. If everyone around you is trying to occupy your time, then you need to put your foot down and take it back. It’s your time, not theirs.

Can you keep playing Kingdom Hearts 1 after you beat Ansem?
Yes! Square is popular for it's minigames and the fact that you can keep playing even after you beat it. All you have to do is reload your last save file, then do whatever you want. ;D If you sealed all the keyholes, beat the Hades cup, and have found all the Dalmations, you can finish the game again and a Kingdom Hearts II trailer will be in the ending for you to watch. Secret trailer, ooohhh. Mysterious. O.o Good luck! xD
Can i continue playing the legend of zelda: ocarina of time after i beat it?
Of course! The only thing about it is that you can't play the game with Ganon being dead. After the credits roll, if you try to play the game again, it'll take you back to where you last saved. You can never play Ocarina of Time with Ganon dead. You can play the game normally; you can go fishing, catch the remaining Golden Skulltulas, ect. And since Ganondorf will never be "killed" in your game, you can just go and beat him over and over... and over... and over... :D
Can you continue playing Skyward Sword after you win or is it just over?
If you have not completed the game yet, you are not playing Hero Mode. That's the 2nd play through. If you want to complete side quests, do so BEFORE you beat the final boss. When you defeat the boss, that ends the game and you won't have a chance to go back into that game world to complete your loose ends. You will get a prompt stating "You will now enter Hero Mode. Do you want to save ? Yes or No". If you say Yes, your old game will be deleted and your game will be in a reset state, start of help mode. If you say No, when your game will still be at the point it was when you last saved it, so you can still go back and finish side quests, then defeat the final boss again. When you enter Hero Mode, you will keep any of your collectables, such as the bugs, etc. but you will lose your tools, your sword, and be down to 6 hearts again, just like when the game started the first time. You'll have to go through all of the tutorial and dialog again, but the 2nd time through, you will be able to skip some of it. Damage from creatures are double, so your 6 hearts will act as if it was 3, and a full set of 20 will act like 10. No hearts will randomly drop unless you're holding the heart medalion in your pouch that increases the drop rate of refill hearts. Other than that, the game plays the same as the first time. Since you have your bugs and combine components from the first game, you'll be able to upgrade shield and weapons earlier than you could the first time through, if you have enough of them banked up. I'm not sure what will happen when you finish Hero Mode, as I stopped playing when I beat the game the first time and answered NO to saving my game after defeating the final boss.
