I'm 29 and still play fairly regularly. I have a pretty big collection of video games and Blu-rays and have had some girls make stupid comments when they come over... at that point I know they're not worth the time. I enjoy watching movies and playing videogames in my spare time. I stay physically fit, work out 3-6 days a week, and pay my bills. fukk them if they don't like a guy that plays video games.

If a woman actually cares that you play video games, then she aint worth the time.

A little joke about it is cool, but that's as far as it goes.

3 hours a day is cray still.

I usually don't play much at all with the girl around, when she's out the house i`ll get it in.

But if it's just me and her, usually I don't even pick up the sticks, most my gaming is done when she's out the house or busy working on school work


it also depends on the day.


i'll tend to play nostalgic shyt from my nes/snes more often than not


(Skyrim/Xcom/Mlb the show 20xx and 2kxx ) are pretty much the only games i give a fukk about at the moment.

As a hardcore gamer (4-6 hrs a day 20-25 hrs a week) with a full time and girlfriend those days ended for me at 27.




as a 31 year old with a full time job and girlfriend im lucky to get in 3 hrs a day , shyt doesnt appeal to me at all like it used to.

4-6 hours a day aint even hardcore gaming no more breh

look at all those streamers playing games for living, they basically get 16 hours a day of playing.

thats why if you want to be the best in competitive games (especially on pc), you should really think twice about it. competitive multiplayer gaming is a grind and the one with the most time invested (not you) will always win. well, almost always.

now playing games for fun and not overdoing it is another story.

This thread will be full of excuses


If your over 25 and still putting in hours a week on video games ur a phaggot. If ur 30 then ur pathetic.

Video gaming as an adult shows ur simple minded and boring.

:mindblown: Bruh, I'ma 28 yr old Attorney w/ a Fiance and Son, and I def put horus in because it's my hobby.

What TV shows to you watch b? Or weekend/ lte night hobbies do you have? That time you're doing that, why can't people play video games?

Dude sound upset at somebody...

na but seriously though, where the fukk do some of y'all find the time to play for like 5 hrs A DAY? Like, every single day? I don't see how that's possible for a grown man that is socially active. I have a day reserved for when I will engage in what I consider to be a long gaming session (3 hrs), other than that I'd be lucky to be able to get in more than 7 hours a WEEK.

The only exception to the rule is if a game that I've been looking forward to for months drops, then I'll try to put aside a little time everyday to get it in....last time I did that was for Uncharted 3, next up will probably be The Last Of Us....even then though it's like 2 hour max sessions sometimes.

Average age of gamers is like 25-40 something. I mean shyt if you treat it like a hobby just like anything else, it won't be a bad thing. Now once you start turning into one of those WoW pissing in jars type nikkas then:ufdup:

Some of you care too much about what others think.

Do what you like...its YOUR LIFE

I haven't had that much time to game since I was in highschool. I'm lucky if I can get in one or two hours a day and that includes the weekend. A game like Ni No Kuni is gonna take me like 6 months to beat. Thats why my backlog is so ridiculous.

I'd say it would only be embarrassing if you played games more hours in a week than you worked and spent time/taking care of/with your family. Basically if you play more than you actually spend keeping your life and livelihood in order. As long as those two are in check, game as long as you fukking want to.

I work a typically 9-5ish office job a week, no weekend and make pretty decent money. Married with two kids (baby daughter & 12 yr. old niece) and mom dukes staying with us for awhile to help with our newborn, to which I spread my time among all of them for 3-4 hours during non-work hours. On average, I may get 2-3 hours of game time in, but it's VERY variable on a day-to-day basis and on seldom occasion, get an hour or so of tv in. Gaming is not only another medium of entertainment for me, but also a stress reliever. And between dealing with this broad range of crazy ass women in my life, if I didn't game in at least some sort of moderation, fighting and killing muhfukkas in these virtual worlds, I just may have to resort to such methods IRL, lol. J/k...or am I?

Bottom line, as long as your hobbies don't consume all important things in your life or isn't the the only "important" thing in you life, no hobby should be looked at as embarrassing regardless of your age. Live and let live and I shall game till the day I die.
