Isn't it a funny thing how one can spend hours upon hours playing and playing a game and hours seem to pass by as minites? I wonder why this is? Lucky for me i have a wife that has me in constant check, these days, over how much time I spend. However, the days she doesn't say anything are the days I will spend 10 hours plus playing. Afterwards, my eyes burn my body is stiff and my brain feels like mush. This is certainly true of online gaming. Anyway, some of the interesting feeling that are produced after being such a gaiming bum for so long are feelings of shame. Why? Because there are things that I could be spending my energy on to better myself reality yet I seem to get an instant gratification for getting an achievment online. I'm sure most people for face value would be more inclined to say there are worst things that I could be doing, but I want people to be honest. When you refect deep into your gaming habits is there a sense of guilt. If I would make a prediction on the results I bet there would only be 10% who would admit it and the others would not have spent much time contemplating the matter. I grant that there are some not like me. Who don't find themselves struggling over such matters as these. They may not be the persons who are addicted as much as I. That is fine. But what about those who find themselves lost in the video releam. What are your intermost feelings about the subject?

"What are your innermost thoughts on this subject?"

The longest I've gamed is 6 hours. My average is between 2 and 3 hours. No guilt here, I package my time carefully. Any activity can be addicting to people with no self control.

I used to pull all nighters playing Socom 2, then go to school at 7 o clock. I can't do that now that I'm 20, because i have certain responsibilities. But yes, I do think a lot about better ways I could be spending my time, like creating music, drawing, exercising. But at the end of the day, nothing gives me more pleasure than a good Rainbow Six Vegas session.

ive played for around 10+ hours quite often. Its mostly because where i live is so dull, theres absolutly nothing to do unless you drive for an hour to the nearest city... So i just spend my time playing with other people on Xbox live or WoW. I could't probably spend time better but, as long as i keep my grades up and that sort of thing i think im fine...

I've played Oblivion from 9 AM to 10 PM on Sunday (with a lot of breaks in between). I didn't feel guilty because I didn't have anything to do that day =P. If I have something to do, it always comes before gaming.

I don't know maybe I have "grown" up a little bit, but I really can't sit and play a game for more than 2 hours any more. Maybe I just get bored with games any more but the last game I can remember that I played for more than 2 hours was the night I played straight through Halo 2.

I love when people make fun of other peoples writing skills and/or grammer, and then proceed to do the same thing. 

It is a video game forum, the second rate english teachers can take a hike.

Funny how I rember playing mmo's and various other games like final fantasy tactics for 10-12 hours a day,Now with work,friends,and other planning, Im lucky to get around 3 hours a day. Though im right there with some of the other members even on days off I can't sit and play games like I was able to back when I was in high school.

The longest i've played is 7 hours and it just happened once (I went from the beggining of act 2 to finishing GoW on Insane), I felt like crap: my eyes burned, my fingers felt numb, and i had a headache; although the satisfaction was great too. Other than that I only play 2-3 hours the most. You really need something better to do with your time, maybe making love to your wife a little more often.
