Joe Rogan explains why he can\u2019t play video games at all anymore YouTube: Joe Rogan\/Unsplash: PHDGamerJoe Rogan has once again dished on his \u2018addiction\u2019 with video games, explaining how he can\u2019t just play for a brief period and then snap out of it. While he\u2019s come under fire for his comments about video games before, calling them a \u201cwaste of time\u201d for many, Joe Rogan hasn\u2019t shied away from talking about them. The UFC commentator has had former Counter-Strike professional Jordan \u2018n0thing\u2019 Gilbert on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast before, and openly talked about his love of Quake. Whenever the topic comes up, however, he always states that games are problematic for himself, giving they\u2019ve led to health concerns in the past. During episode #1666 of the JRE Podcast, Rogan again talked about games with guest Duncan Trussell, explaining that they might just be the most addicting thing around, at least for him. \u201cI can\u2019t have the video games,\u201d Rogan said after revealing he\u2019s buying a pool table to tune up his skills on. \u201cThat, to me, is like protecting my children against wolves. It becomes this obsessive thing where it\u2019s like, I\u2019ve got to protect the tribe. You get locked into these goddamn games because they\u2019re so exciting,\u201d he added. \u201cI wish I wasn\u2019t such a simpleton because if I could f**king just play for like one hour and stop\u2026 I cannot. Because, at one hour, I start getting a better feel of where my cursors going, when I\u2019m moving the mouse around. I get a better understanding of strafe jumping and where to aim with my rail gun, can\u2019t do it. I\u2019m too dumb. I get too excited. I get too locked in.\u201d Timestamp of 1:17:11 Rogan noted that he\u2019s had the realization that games are \u201cmore fun\u201d than anything else he does, outside of spending time with family and people he loves dearly. It\u2019s unlikely we\u2019ll see him jump into something like Warzone anytime soon, but a session of him playing Quake would break the internet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
