School Days Two Hours and On Holidays 5 to 6 Hrs .

Do Parents allow you to play that much time ?
In my childhood days,i was restricted to 1 hour only in alternate days.. Hehehe...

1-2 hours during holidays. else 2-3hrs per week.
sometimes i also play for continuously 3 or more hours!

just checked my total playtime on steam.
it counts my playtime as 306 hours.
XqzM3 - Steam Hours Played API Calculator, Ranking and Stats
Lambent Stew : Steam Profile Analysis.

i'm sure that does go much higher since it doesn't count offline mode and non-steam games.

and angry birds, draw my thing etc also amount to much playtime if you count them.

if i have no work, no exams, no new movies in cinema and tv, then i would keep on gaming for hours.

play continuously
ios or chrome mmos
just very interested and curious

have xbox, play mortal kombat vs dc universe to chill sometimes, few chars not finished yet,

but otherwise the ios titles, game center, leader boards, social gaming scene is more involving, more or less like email or sms, especially on some asynchronous multiplayer titles

till mom pulls of the plug/ friends storm the home and throw me off that seat.

They don't make good games now a days, just a PnC's of old titles, back then many games used to be a "new" experience, now its just iteration of the successful ones.

A few like Portal appease to the heart, more on graphics now a days.

1-2 Hours..Less na but my eyes have automatic shutdown system i.e. when I spend too much time on screens of any kind, I really begin to have a tough time concentrating or even using my mind during that time..Eyes start blinking like crazy..
Its like a threshold for me..Maybe that is the reason I have been saved from glasses till now..Thank God!!

hey if you don't feel comfortable on screen for long time , i advise you to use your pc as least as possible, also adjust the brightness and contrast of your display to a relaxing level...
cuz i blame video games responsible for my glasses:-x

Yeah thnx for the concern man..
Although I take good care of my eyes but as I said even if I want to play more my eyes won't allow.
So its all good.
I am already using my monitor at the lowest possible settings..
Oh :-( But Its bound to happen to everybody in this age of tech.

If i have got a new game, till my eyes get tired. I am not a gamer per se but i was addicted to skyrim, more than 300 hours of it for sure and just started again as a redguard woman. I am only interested in in-game photography right now, which i will start after i get my 7850 HD. :D for those who don't know what i am talking about:

Dead End Thrills | The Art Of Gaming

open this link and search skyrim, and don't click on it if you have a sucky braodband.

P.S. people should also mention how many hours their computer runs in a day, irrespective of whether they play or not. Mine runs from 5 pm to 12 am on college days and on holidays i switch it on in the morning and shut down way past mid night.
