Seajaydubya Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I just celebrated my 53rd birthday this week. I've played computer games for over 20 years. These days, I play when I can. Sometimes that means 2 or 3 hours 2 or three times a week. I've already experienced that "you play computer games too much!" from my husband, and also gone through that "YOU'RE NOT RP'ING WITH THESE GUYS THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME!!!" stuff. Marriage counseling helps for those people who can't seperate RP from reality. Reality always trumps RP. After 27 years of marriage, with all those bumps along the way, he's allowing me my gaming time, and I let him buy toys. His current "toy craze" is handguns. He does quite well at the range and is working on his "Conceal and Carry" handgun license. The point is, if you have a partner you care about, you always kiss them and tell them you love them BEFORE you head off to game. And you always come back to them, and learn when it's time to turn the computer OFF and pay attention to the real people in your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alipasha Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 17 yrs old and still in high school. 5-7 hours after school most days 20+ hours on the weekend. thats not bad right.....? Well, if high schools don't assign homework anymore or you are just doing fine in your learning process, yeah, it's not bad at all! Otherwise, think twice about the time you spent and what you gain!

JCaedus Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 31.... Full-time job from 8am-5pm with an hour commute at both ends of that. Still get 4-5 hours a night and 8-10 hours on weekend days. Sometimes the sleep suffers, but been doing this since day 2 of early access so the body is used to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilirubin Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 42, play between 2-4 hours per day, weekends included. Well, I might play more like 6 on the weekends in two sessions. Can only go at it for so long before I need to go do something else. Keeps the game fresh for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whymezed Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 32 yrs.. 3-4 hours per week. It will take me a long time to level but trying to build up my wife's tolerance for gaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElhonnaDS Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I'm 30, and I play 5 hours on weeknights, and usually 12-14 hours per weekend, depending on what other activities we have planned. Generally, I play with my boyfriend, or by myself when he's playing league of legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grupurt Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Age 54, and being disabled, I play a lot. Been a gamer since 1970 with table war games, then RPGs (see sig). Then PC games. Since the accident that messed me up in 1995, gamng has been a good way to ignore the pain that I go through. Lot better than prescription meds....

GigfizZ Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Good to see sooo many aged folks gaming. I'm 49 and play many many hours /week. I was playing Skyrim until my 21yr old son bought me this game for xmas. Love you Luke! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorroazul Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Just hit the big 40's and rather than have a middle-life crisis, I celebrated buying Skyrim and preordering SWTOR. Gaming really have changed since I played my first star wars in the Atari 2600. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shammancz Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 iam 33, playing 2-3 hours every now and then, usualy after work and a hour of EVE online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hreid Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 25 years old, about 3-5 hours a day since I bought it 2nd Januari. At the moment Star Wars: The Old Republic is the only game I play. Skyrim and BF3 are both on hold and canceled World of Warcraft about 3 month ago, might go back for a month when Pandaria hits but i doubt it.

Listerman Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Old enough to afford this game on my own pay. What makes you think I keep track? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Listerman Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 So 16? 27. When I was 16 or thereabouts I paid for a subscription to The Sims Online. And you thought customer service is bad now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soultranna Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 44, and I play 3-4 hours a night on average. I work 4x11 shifts, so I have three days off, not two... the downside is 2 hours less per day for non-work things. And yes, I've been a "computer geek" since I got out of college.

Naethion Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I will be 18 on the 6th of February, I haven't played much since I have semester finals. But soon... Perhaps I will celebrate my birthday with a full day of SWTOR... or perhaps a lot of patching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kramlac Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I love this game and the story line is way cool. On work days I play about an hour before work and four hours after work. On the weekend, I like to get outside a little and play with dog a little but I end up playing about six hours a day on my days off. If I play to long I notice that Im stating to get headaches and my right hands gets cramped from holding the mouse to long.
