Yeah, usually these days I don't play as long as I used to. Maybe an hr in the morn and another in the night?

Sounds like you need to take more game breaks. You have that noontime fiesta game time to fill.

I shooould, though if I play for too long, I feel guilty of goofing off too long, and end up playing only for a little while.. : S

Looking at the poll so far it appears most people either only take random minimal breaks or no breaks at all.

Most games have a disclaimer telling us to take a 10 to 15 minute break every hour of playtime. Potential repetitive motion injury and eyestrain could result.

I wonder if paid game testers fall under any OSHA workplace regulations, seeing all the warnings plastered in manuals.

Yes. Google and YouTube. Saviors to the befuddled gamer.

There's so much info online for games now it's a wonder they still sell game guide books. When I do buy a game guide, it is the hard cover version for collecting. I have a beautiful two hardcover book set for The Witcher III.

I try and take a break, once an hour, though sometimes it turns into 2. I usually smoke a cig every 1-2 hours, and then a bowl about every 3 hours.



I'm learning c++ lately when i take a break from gaming.

Sounds like gaming is a break from learning C++.

You have it backwards.

Gaming at my office is a break time, while at my home i play only 2 hours then take a break full day.
