Title: How much do you game?
Post by: Cat With A Mustache on March 20, 2013, 01:09:27 AM
Many people say gaming for too long is bad physically and mentally. Honstely I couldn't give a shit, so I game for a LARGE amount of time. At least 6 hours a day, and that's just the week days. In about 2.5 years, I logged over 1,000 hours on gmod, and 400 hours on CS:S. this dosent even include Xbox time and other shit. When is one called  addicted to gaming? I wouldn't really say I am, because there is litterly really nothing better to do in my rural city. Just a thought, I also kinda wanted to know how much others game, and what they consider themselves.

I do atleast 100 hours on gmod a month now, try to make all of those hours admining on HRP, but some of those are just me derping on another server or something RPing and what not. So yeah, gmod is prety much it as it cost nothing to play really, unlike xbox and using live which is 50$ a year. So yeah. I fine the investment/ROI is more on Gmod then anything else really.

Well, Gaming i'd say about 4-6 hours a day. On my computer generally, I'd say 7-9 hours daily, counting for gaming on pc too.

I game a ton, probably about the same as said above. But I'm still involved at school, with my friends, my family, and my church. I do spenda lot of my time when I'm not doing something scheduled or something on the computer. Wouldn't say it's impacted me to negatively, though.

Well I have 3500 hours on garrysmod and 1500 hours on source SDK so I do a LOT of developing. I usually spend a good 6-8 hours on the computer either gaming or developing when not at work. Even more on weekends. But I also work out in the mornings and do outdoor activities like snowboarding and unicycling and airsoft.

As long as you find something to balance it out you enjoy and eat healthy (not easy when you live on your own and all you want is pizza) you should live a healthy lifestyle.

Bitch please, I have about 7000 hours on Gmod alone. But that is from about 6 years ever since I got Gmod.
I spend the majority of my free time behind the desk usually playing all sorts of games, which I then record and LP. So I guess you can add video editing to my list. I also just recently found my passion for mapping again. (Mainly portal 2 maps.)

Depends on the time of the year for me, really. During the winter there isn't much to do besides ice fish and play hockey, so a lot of my time is spent on the computer. When Spring/Summer/Fall comes I spend more time outside on my boats, jet skis, wakeboarding, swimming, working, etc. I have been fading away from gaming the past year it seems like.

lately my game time has only averaged 3-4 hours a day because of schoolwork and other things.

I've only racked up 400 or so hours on Gmod though, atleast 350 being all OCRP and the other 50 being TTT and Gmod videos.

The game I have the most playtime on steam is (yes I am ashamed of myself) Black ops 1 with around 475 hours. Mw2 is the second with 460 or so.

I game about 7-9 hours a day, usually. Sometimes it gets lower when I just get completely bored, but there are other days when I have nothing to do, and spend 10-11. Lol.  :D

I have a fractured ankle as of current and I have to keep it elevated at all times and try not to move it. This means I am currently spending 17-18 hours a day on the computer. It would be embarrasing if it wasn't fractured but I have a social life, so it's unlikely I'd ever spend so much time on a computer again.

From ages 12 to about 18.
Only naming significant times tbh (At least 50 hrs or something)
I did play a hours on my bros acco before I got mine.
On 1st account (2007):
3,295.4 hours gmod
925.0 C:SS
Let's call the rest about 120 hours
On 2nd account (2010):
421.2 hours CS:S
359.2 hrs Garry's Mod
187.3 hrs Mount & Blade: WFAS
89.5 hrs Mount & Blade: Warband
79.8 hrs DC Universe Online
76.2 hrs Fallout: New Vegas
Let's call the rest about 440 hrs
On 3rd account
Gmod 137.6 hrs
TF2 57.1 hrs
CS:s 54.7 hrs
rest 1.3 hrs

So in total I've played 6244.3 hours which is only 0.712 years in total.
Tbf though a lot of this time was achieved between age 11 and 15 as I didn't go out a lot, only meals with family and school, as I was in a car accident and had a bandage on my head.

Got about 1100 hours of playing on HL2DM, as it was my first game on Steam from the free pack, together with HL2:Lost coast.
Got about 400 hours at CSS, 500 at TF2, and about 600 as well at GMOD. I also play other games, such as LoL, my dead Xbox, Minecraft, and whatnot.

I've been in the gaming world for over 6 years now, and playing about 5-7 hours on weekdays, about 7-8 on weekends. Usually gets shorter due to my computer-hatin' dad who keeps yelling me when I'm on the computer a lot -_- Quite frustrating at certain times.
I'm also not going out of the house very often, I mostly play with my friends at multi-player games, we have more fun like that rather than coming to them.

Too much in my opinion, I should focus more on other things such as reading books, sleep a slight more than normally, helping my mother with the cooking since I soon have to move out.
But it is around 70 hours every two weeks out from what my steam says about my gameplay.

I'm on the computer 24/7, no school work gets done, I barely do anything else. Not all of my time on the computer is just gaming, just most of it. I think i'm a bit too addicted to garry's mod because i have 1,000 hours in less than a year. I'm on the computer/gaming around 10 hours a day.
