    Default How much of your life have you spent playing games do you reckon?

    Me and a friend used our xfire profiles to find out that i've spent about 23 days playing on the computer. It doesn't even take into account all the times i've had xfire turned off. That's about 15% of a year. Makes you appreciate how much of your time you spend having 'fun', screaming at idiots in other countries for messing up.

    I use Xfire every day. I've spent a lot of time, I don't even want to think about it.

    I think many people seeing this thread think that, Lorenzo. Myself included.

    I wonder if someone will say "not enough".

    13.6% of my life I've been playing games. 7.9% when it comes to computer games only. 0.4% Rtw vanilla and 1.7% of my life EB.

    I don't really play (video) games that much. Maybe a max of 2 hours a week. And it used to be less.

    Too much.

    I probably "only" play around 10-15 hours a week now, depending on the circumstances....and that's actually way down compared to how much I used to play. I started playing PC games in a major way about eight years ago, and that first year I was probably playing close to 40 hours a week. I was still playing around 25-30 hours a week for a good while after that; but then for whatever reason(s), my playing time decreased significantly about 2 years ago.

    Actually I've ended up playing games less and less, mainly because I've become a lot busier recently.

    I usually play maybe, an hour a day when I'm at college. At home.... I don't want to think about it.

    I've managed to limit my usage to weekends. So nowhere near as much as I used to. On Fridays maybe 1-2 hours, Saturdays 1-2 hours and Sundays 2-3 hours. Which considering my work schedule is too much. I find I spend way too much time here than playing games.

    Hmmm, it sure is enough. Around 5 hours a week in average. As soon as MTW2 or EB 0.8 came out....well....a little bit more. O.k. make it 10 hours then.

    Generalyy spaking: Winnter more hrs. of playing, Spring & Summer...way less.

    Way too much and not enough at the same time... I've been known to play a game 24 Hours+ with barely any breaks, usually with new games. I'm 17, who goes to school online at home and has no social life... do the math.
