Am I playing too much ?

[QUOTE="MorbidToaster"] Again, you can EASILY have a job and still play 7+ hours a day.MorbidToaster

I don't think someone can "easily" play for 7+ hours with a job. You "can" but then your job and a video game would count for every waking minute of your day. I think that most people would want to relax a little in there day. Video games are a lot of fun but competitive multiplayer games or difficult single player games are not the most relaxing activity. It is summer why not kick back on the patio and have a beer, enjoy the summer weather, watch a movie, hang out with friends.

EDIT: My days also include at least 2 showers (10-20 minutes a piece), and a 35 hours + work week.

You are right when you say too much is relative. In your situation 10 hours a day does seem more reasonable although I don't think I would be able to enjoy that many hours every day. But based on what the TC wrote I assume that he sits in front of his playstation for 7 hours strait and is worried about it breaking because of that. Now that suggests to me that he is not using gaming as a terribly social activity.

Come on, it's been HD since you were born!

Who can sit there and play seven hours a day, every day? That would drive me nuts.

If you think you're playing too much, ask yourself this. "Am I happy with my life?" Really think about it. If you feel you have enough friends, get out enough, have good enough grades, etc, than you're fine. If you answered no to that question, you may want to start to reconsider your time management

heres what i do on times like these...put ur arm next to piece of white paper...now if they match...put the controller down.....unplug everything and go outside, work out(because if you play too much chances are youve gained a lil flab), take your shirt off and get sunburnt...play basketball, football, baseball, just run or if youre a geek go to a park and swing cardboard swords around with your friends if you have any... MorbidToaster

Problem: Skin matches white paper. Solution: Tanning bed with built in screens. :3

and what about the flab and getting natural day light ayy?? huh? huh? huh? yeah now what? youve gotta do more than sit on your assto do that and get tan at the same time...what now?

lol @ the people saying go outside well some people dont want to go outside and some people (like me) are too broke to go outside :P so he just has to stay at home :roll: but i love to go out seriously but its not everyday outside outside :o also where im living here without cash your difficulty in this game is not very hard its EXTREME SUPER HARD :P xD

[QUOTE="MorbidToaster"][QUOTE="Doolz2024"]I play like 10 hours a day at least. Don't feel bad. :)Doolz2024

I play the PS3 a lot too. What the heck though. I payed £400 for it so I might as well get my money out of it :P

Or you could just go out with mates ;)

[QUOTE="Doolz2024"]

[QUOTE="MorbidToaster"] You totally don't strike me as a 10 hours a day player, but it's nice to hear someone else does.BayKing8877

I play like 7 hrs a day, I don't want my PS3 to explode or the lens to wear out quickly

Do some sport ( not a sport game), learn how to play a music instrument ( not Guitar Hero ) go to movies , go to the park , get married and when someone says you have no life you can allways say "Well, I am married":P

[QUOTE="MorbidToaster"][QUOTE="jyoung312"] lol i have a job but i must have played like some 20hrs this weekend bc gf was gone. Hell i could have beat 4 games in one day if i wanted (i finished 2nd half of fear 2, finally beat the waves of helghast radec sends after you in kz2, beat like a 1/4 of r2 starting in 2nd half at end of bryce canyon, liberated last section of mars in red faction:guerilla just have half a mission left).

haha! i love this guy dood.(no homo)

[QUOTE="MorbidToaster"][QUOTE="MorbidToaster"] The idea that jobs take tons of your time is stupid. Most people work 40-50 hours a week...if that. 168 - 40 (Job) = 128 128 - 35 (5 Hours Sleep per night) = 93 93 - 7 (1 Hour a day for showering, general hygiene) = 86 86 - 7 (1 Hour a day for making food, maybe some laundry if that first hour wasn't enough) = 79 79 hours a week for gaming, that's over 10 hours a day with a job. Heck, toss another hour a day in there for 'etc.' and you still hit over 10 hours a day.bigmouthkid

Only 7 hours? I used to play wow 16 hours a day (no joke) thats how I got 100 days of gameplay in one year of wow xD

Just do what makes you happy. That's what life is all about. If you enjoy playing for 7 hours, do so. If you feel guilty enough that you posted this message, then the answer is clear that you yourself think you're playing too much; ergo, you need to just allot 3.5 hours of your playstation time towards something else and you'll feel better thus resolving your problem and bringing you to square one: Happiness.
