Ouch - to bad.... I can feel sometimes a similar, but luckily I've got my mouse placed in a manner that makes it comfetable to work with, so I'm hoping I can go somewhat free. Will be hard when working with computers (or intending to do so) in real life also

Assuming this poll referred to PC games, I voted for once or twice a week.

I tend to alternate between PC games and console games. Right now I am obsessed with MLB 2k3 on the PS2 (though I can hear the sweet siren song of Madden 2004...)

However, when games like BG2, Alpha Centauri, Civ III, PS:T, and Morrowind came out, I played them non-stop.

So, while I haven't played a PC game in over a month, I figure that I average at least a day or two a week over a calendar year.

I put the third option, but that's only reflective of how I am during the summer break. During school it's more like 5-6 hours a week and nearly all of that is during the weekend.

Well...

I'm more addicted to talking about games online than actually playing. Sad, ain't it? Like my Buffy - addiction, I was more interested in learning spoilers than I was watching the show. Same with my RPG/MMO fascination - I LOVE to keep up to date on newer upcoming games, like ToEE and UXO and the oft-discussed NWN expansions, but yeah. Its hard for me to make the leap to playing all of the games I'm rabidly excited to track down info on.

I had become totally uninterested in PC games until I found out that Nico digs them.

Now I'm gonna pawn my black skinny jeans and sunglasses and buy Heroes
