What you said is true but I wouldn't use the fact that people have responsibilities as a way of saying that spending so long on games isn't normal. Not everyone has all that to do yet either because they are young or simply choose not to have a partner or children in which so long on games is quite normal. Even if they did, one could simply spend the time they do have off to play games. If I had morning classes and had all day to myself after 4pm via being off of work, I could simply game and still have time to handle cooking and anything else that needed to be done. Not everyone has partners or children and some have kids way too early such as right out of school but that was their choice, not most's. I don't see gaming as a problem because at some point, you will have time to yourself, perhaps 5 hours or less watching TV, playing music, browsing the net, sports or gaming, you'll be doing something.
Also, I have seen The Guild, pretty funny stuff~ Vork is the man and Zaboo is simply hilarious.
Mmm, good point. I've been a gamer since I was 10, and that was 20 years ago. I remember playing games a lot but I also remember doing lots of physical activity. I guess it's better to be mentally stimulated than sitting in front of the idiot box for 5+ hours a day (I don't watch TV, I prefer to download my shows without the nasty commercials).
Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's not normal to game if you have responsibilities, in fact I think it's pretty cool people can still play games as they get older, I just wonder where some people get the time. I forget that I have more responsibilities now, and also with age my tastes in gaming has changed, there are less and less games that appeal to me and so that means I'm playing less than I used to (I still clock in about 20+ hours a week).
