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).
Is it normal to spend so long on a game
