I would skip a whole week for one game. And that is THE Final Fantasy XIII.

Let me be blunt real quick, they dick ride it.

(In love with it)

Geez! I just fired up the game again for a bit and there was a guy at level 60! I swear to God that people like that are the reason that I find it impossible to enjoy online multiplayer. I never get so mad at anything in my entire life as I do at multiplayer. I can rarely muster a killstreak of 3 or 4 and there's these people who do it like nothing. No matter what I do, I can't stay alive very long.

Responsibility is the reason why I only own a Wii and barely get enough time to play that. However, when I get a new game I tend to have late nights for a week or so.

Is like you said, skipping will kill your academic career if it's a decent program, some won't have that, it depends. I skipped when i was in school (we're talking the 16 bit and 32 bit era) and there're some ways to skip senior courses, but it's not some random day, it has to be calculated, so it's only worth if a really epic game is coming, i did it when Final Fantasy VIII came out (my favorite FF ever) and i didn't have enough time to dedicate it, so i decided to skip the day that i had a few classes, no tests, all the classes were pure theory (no Chem, no Physics, no Advanced Math, etc.), and we've just started the term... I dedicated the whole day and the night before to FF8, and when i returned i was back on business...

About Tulsa, hey don't get me wrong, i like a slower lifestyle too , but only in my home, when i go out on business, i have a little time to be a tourist so i do the most out of every place, and most times, the destinations are big cities so i'm now used to this, and a month before Tulsa guess where i was sent to: New York City, so in Tulsa i felt that i had a lot of time in my hands... That's where the PS3 and the handhelds came in handly...

For now, i only have work time, game time and social time (sometimes the last 2 are together), but you also have grad time and family time, so i get why you can only play a few hours a week...

I usually only play about an hour a day. I take most of my responsibilities quite seriously, and generally lead quite a scheduled existence.

well i did wonder what members of the royal family and aristocratic families got up to,now i know,they are online gaming.......

Some gamers are just naturally good at those type of games. I agree with your question. There are some people who devote their life to video games when they should be concentrating on school, if they have children or some other responsibilty.

Responsibilities are lame. Just do whatever you feel. Hell set someone on fire I don't care. Cover yourself in bear urine if you want.

ummmm WHAT THE F*CK!  its these people who give gaming a bad name
