Be completely honest too. I for one, turn my game off every hour on the hour. Then I take my fifteen minute break. I also play my games in the back of my corner and play on a 9 inch screen. And if I feel a thumb pop in the process of pressing the A button, you better believe I quickly turn the game off and leave it off for the rest of the day.

Of course, when I'm playing my DS I make sure to have all my lights on in the room so I can see my screen, just like the booklet says .Not to mention I take my daily half hour break from the computer. I stay on for a max of 2 hours a day, and that's it.

Whenever I'm playing games with my friends whenever it seems like we've been playing for a long time I tell them "No way guys, I'm not playing anymore games, I need a break."  

 Who else follows the rules and does everything they tell you, if you don't you should start.

More often then not I stop at least every hour. Mostly because I rarely have the luxury of being able to play for more then an hour before I have to tend to other matters.

I'm 21. (sarcasm) Oh noes now people know how old I am! What does it matter?

And to answer the original question no I don't and don't know anyone who does.

Hmm... is the OP poking fun at all the things gamers should abide by, according to the manuals? Or was he serious...

I once played Everquest for two days straight without sleep. I eventually passed out on the keyboard, and woke up with a space bar imprint on my face. My people and I don't fit in your boxes, MAN!

If you're concern about your health, than yes, I would follow the guidelines.

I can see myself taking the recommended breaks when I'm working, but not when I'm playing.

um.... joke topic?  Because there are alot of games that if you took a break every hour you wouldn't get ANYTHING accomplished in them.    Heck... ive played  FFXI for 14hrs straight before.

Well...no. In fact I just scoff at those rules to be honest. I don't play games for 8 hours a day anyway so it's all good.

Huh? This topic is still on the here? Well anyway, there's no fooling you guys. You guys saw right though this topic, eh? Of course no one follows all these rules, it's just stupid, as someone already stated, you'd never make it anywhere in a RPG just playing an hour. Good job guys, though I didn't expect any less from fellow gamers!!

 

Maybe I missed something but to the OP what did you mean by " I also play my games in the back of my corner and play on a 9 inch screen." What corner do you go to the back of?NEOSPARKING

Manuals always tell you to play as far away from the screen as possible and play on the smallest TV in the house. Yeah, try split screen multiplayer on a 9 inch and see how fun it is with four people.
