Game Life Balance

Video Games

This week on the show… do you ever feel like you don’t have enough time for video games? You might work full time, study full time, have a relationship, pets, family, friends and all other sorts of responsibilities in your day-to-day life. How do you balance it all to fit in video games? Video games is a major hobby for a lot of people and a great way to de-stress after a hectic day, but sometimes its at the sacrifice of other things including deadlines, loved ones and, most of the time, sleep.

Join Luke, Elliot, Cam and Jake as they discuss the different ways they fit video games in, along with certain video games that have addictive qualities that sometimes have us prioritizing that next level up more than our real life responsibilities, rather than finding that balance.

Also we take you through the big news of the week and some large reviews as Kieren delivers us his take on 3v3 brawler Dissidia Final Fantasy NT while Luke takes his brawling more seriously in the octagon with his take on EA Sports UFC 3! Don’t miss any of the action!

For all the latest updates as always, head to our official website at checkpointgaming.net.
