Do you have enough time to game? How much?

80 hours, jesus. That'd make me very ill. Do ya not get screen time sickness, ya know that feeling like your eyes are gonna bleed and your body is dehydrated. 

It's not healthy. Maybe for an isolated week here and there it's ok, yet I've messed up my neck in my late teens and twenties from gaming too much. Everquest left me with a partly fused neck. But that was combined with working behind computer screens all day as well. So in effect I was behind a PC screen from 9 AM to 3 AM with lunch and dinner break (and travel home of course) for years... That was up to 16 hours a day behind a screen.

It wasn't just Everquest, but that was the most intense period. Still dealing with the permanent damage to my neck and RSI in my right shoulder, right wrist.

Good memories of my adventures though. Everquest is where I met my wife after all. No regrets.

That sucks man. You can get surgey for the wrist these days though if it's carpal tunnel, ya don't have to deal with it. Did you ever feel sick? My limit is when my eyes go bloodshot and my body feels ill, I have to limit to no longer than a four hour session to avoid it and go and walk around. I've not done any damage to myself but I did once do a Minecraft session that was three days long with a few light naps and ended up with severe insomnia for months before I had to go to the doctor and get it treated. It was worth building that castle though, one of the best memories I have in regards to games.
