A Gamers Life?

Gaming should be for entertainment, not replace your real life. I do like to play games, but I fit them in around the rest of my life: I'm a husband, a father, and I work for a local charity, and all of that comes first. Honestly. if you place a priority on gaming over forming relationships and contributing to society, then you're going to lead a sad and lonely existence. I mean, at the end of the day if all you want to do is play games, then you would be wasting your life away for...what exactly?RobertBowen

i play roughly 1-4 hours a day most days. somedays not at all and somedays more. pretty much everything else comes before gaming unless i'm in a bad mood and just want to be left alone for a while. eitremn

I will play if I dont have hame work, or I dont have other things going on

I would say 5 to 10 a week during school and off school mabe 30 to 40

I always schedule my game time around my school schedule, and I never make it so I "have" to play video games.  I often go a few days without touching my computer at home unless its for email and word processing (and going to Gamespot, of course).

Unfortunately, I only have classes at night and I quit my job this quarter so that leaves A LOT of time free.  In addition, for some reason knowing my classes arent until 4PM makes me want to do nothing productive until then.  So my gaming has gotten a little out of hand lately.  I would say on average I play about 15-20 hours a week, but thats only for this quarter.

Usually wake up, go to gym, come home and eat breakfast and shower.  Then I play games for a bit.  Then I eat lunch, do homework and watch TV.  Then I go to class.  After class I go to the gym, come home eat dinner, and usually do homework til I fall asleep.

If I wont the lottery, gaming is the last thing I would do.  I would drop out of school and get a job as a sous chef at the local french restaurant in town, make 30 grand a year, work 50 hours a week.  I love to cook!

i play 24/7 every available time ^^ but i go out once and a whiledrblood1

To each his own, and I dont want to offend anyone...

...but I just dont see how you guys would take gaming over hanging out with friends.  I mean, I sometimes get in the mood where I just want to chill in my room and play games for the next few days, but if I miss an opportunity to go see a movie or go out to dinner or drink some booze with my friends, I just cant live with myself!

I study at a university and that doesn't leave much time for gaming except at weekends. If I have an exam or any other work that's need to be done, I'll spend the weekend doing that instead of gaming. If I'm free for the weekend I'll probably spend 3-4 hours playing, Friday-Sunday.  

I am obsessed, go to school at 7:30, get home at 3:00pm and get on my computer until 11:00pm, The only break I get is going to the bathroom and getting a plate of food to bring back to my PC. I use my PC for everything. I have other friends just like me so it is not a social life crusher. But if I was forced to choose between someone or my computer that someone better be a family member or no go.

Are you guys serious?

I feel truly minute next to all of you who are able to work, raise families, and then still play games for 3 hours a night. I play games... I play them alot, and that doesn't bother me because I can say that I have an all A-B average, a clean driver's record, and no previous arrests (that I remember xD). I think that games are similar to anything in life, in that they are there to be manipulated by you, not the other way around!

I can also say that my reflexes are off the charts, I can hit a bullseye with a compound bow from 50 feet away, I can fly an airplane, I played football and showed my school spirit, I have a second degree black belt, and, in general, me > you xD. Yes, games had an effect on some of these things, but I have accomplished more in my life than just a good gamerscore.

food, work, smoke, food, smoke, gaming, smoke, food, smoke, sleep (cry).

then when the weekend comes, lan.
