"gaming hours per week!"

ive already written this but i put it on the retro games chat room (doh!!!) so i play on my ps2 about twice a week for around 2 hours each time and my dad still nags me saying "you still on that?" i dont think this is very long compared to some people i know who play games all weekend and every night after school!! for how long do you play your games for in a normal working day week?

Ain't it about time you got yourself another job so you could pay for all the gaming ;-)



Me though - I dunno, probably average out at about 5 hours per week - it gets really frustrating some weekends though cos the missus bought me Mario Party for Christmas and the girls have taken over and at weekends they can be playing it for three or four hours straight when I want to have a go at something.

Thing is, when they are playing they dont fight with each other so we tend to leave them to it. So when they finally get bored with that I can spend more of my weekends playing games again..

I get in as much gaming as i can, but only seam to manage between 5 & 10 hours a week.

Unless the girlfriend is out on a fri/sat night, and i can have a monster 7 hour sesh. Or she works on a sunday and i can game it all day.

I have so many games still waiting to be completed, and i'm still buying more to play, with others still left to be finished.

Are you sure? i get awful headaches after playing FPS like Medal of Honor and Timesplitters. ;)

My whole life revolves around gaming and has done for many years. If I'm not playing games, I'm researching them on the internet. If I'm not researching them, I'm writing about them. If I'm not writing about them, I'm reading about them somewhere else.

So I'd have to say quite honestly that there's only about 5 waking hours per week when I'm not doing anything related to games (although during those 5 hours I'm probably still thinking about them).

It's a bit like some people let their lives revolve around football, or around money, or around women, or around their friends, or around their families, or around their gardens, or around train spotting, or around mathematics, or around religion, or around astronomy. Some people are lucky enough to find a sort of purpose in life by throwing themselves with a passion into activities revolving around something they love doing.

If at the end of my life the future of gaming has been improved for future generations then I feel that's a valid contribution to mankind. So meantime I try to get developers to improve games by writing to them, get people to change their views on games by discussing with them, educate people on piracy issues by ranting about them, and improve my gaming skills by playing on them.

Best bit of all? Gaming is 'fun'. So is going down the pub with your mates and getting smashed now and again, but gaming doesn't leave a nasty hangover :)

these guys are hilarious

I play about 7 or 8 hours a day. And i play different games and i stay up until 12am on a school day and 2am on a weekend.

Yikes, think i should really turn mine off a bit more, computer at home goes on as soon as I get home and usually goes off when I goto bed so sometimes I'm sat in front of this (bar having tea and fag breaks) for about 4 or 5 hours a night! Gulp!

Not much now really, i'm either too tired, got college work to do or at work, no more than 5 hours a week really :(

I did used to play on my ps2 a lot but now i barely ever play it maybe an hour or two a week? I go on the pc much more probably about and hour or two a night.
