time for gaming

[jangoux]

Guys,

How much time do you dedicate for gaming? I love gaming, but since a long time I can't find time for it. Work/kids and other home stuff simply killed whatever I had left for this kind of stuff. I wish I could squeeze my time a little more for it 'cus it one of the few fun things I can do quietly without bothering anyone.

So guys, how much gaming do you do daily/weekly ?

I totally understand what you're saying. I fucking love video-gaming but I haven't played a game since the release of Red dead redemption. Family life and bands completely consumes my life.

I wish I had time to sit down and enjoy a ps3-session.

I play left for dead quite a lot. And occasionally I'll have a 20 hour sitting where I complete a game in a day, and then go to bed with hullucinations.

Haven't played a game in 3 years and counting, damn.

Hadn't touched video games in like a year, then last week I cracked and popped in Final Fantasy X on the ps2. 40 hours in the past week....I just can't help myself.

Way too much.
One solution would be getting a hacked PSP (1.0 or 2.0. Not the 3.0 or Go! model). There´s great games on all genres and many great emulators for it, so it´s basically an endless supply of good games. My favourite thing on the PSP is that you can turn it off at any time and, when you press the button o turn it on again, you´re exactly at the same point that when you turned it off. Don´t need to save or quit the game, it is as if you had only paused the game. In less than 5 seconds you´re playing again, which makes it awesome for playing on any break. Lines, computer rebooting, bathroom, before sleep, commercial breaks on tv, cooking, etc.

Ill randomly turn my xbox on, and then shut myself off from all civilization for a good 5 hours. I hate it when I turn it off though cuz then im back into reality and realize i just wasted half my day playing xbox

yeah I don't get much time for it anymore , but I usually play about a half hour every other day or so. I really can't sit and play a game all day , I feel like I need to get up and do some jumping jacks after around 20 mins or so lol. Honestly I play games quite often while on the treadmill with a wireless controller or a PSP , actually it's a really good idea because you forget you're working out. One time I was on the treadmill for about an hour and a half without realizing lol.

I had almost stopped playing any games whatsoever, but Starcraft 2 came out and I seem to spend more time on it then I should... playing, analysing, watching replays and commentaries, etc. I also gave diablo2 a go as a means of more relaxing gaming, since SC2 can be really tense.
