Gaming - Hobbie or Habit?

Postby Silver_Surfer1 » Sun Jan 16, '11, 1:41 am

Found an interesting article talking about gaming addictions, etc.:

http://blog.games.yahoo.com/blog/311-th ... -addict?nc

So, now that you've read the article, do you consider your gaming efforts to be mostly hobbie, or habit related, or other?

Definitely hobby for me, but I can see how some people get addicted to some games. Like everything else, gaming should be done in moderation.

Definitely a hobby for me. Though it seems lately I've started to play more, then again I haven't been playing as much recently, even taking a couple days off at a time due to watching some shows on Netflix.

If I were an addict, I´d be a very bad addict. I usually don´t spend more than three hours a week playing games.
