What prevents you from getting down for a few hours of hardcore gaming

Re: What prevents you from getting down for a few hours of hardcore ga

Children. I refuse to play when they are awake.
 
Re: What prevents you from getting down for a few hours of hardcore ga

For me it's just a matter of there being so many things I like to do with my spare time. Video games are just one small piece of the pie.

i still havent found a game as fun as jet set radio future. with the exception of making 8 foot tall smurfs on wrestling games to piss off my brother, there doesnt seem like theres much i want to play nowadays

Sibling torment is as good an excuses as any.

Nothing, really. Some studying, some working, some other interests and whatnot. Girlfriend and I do most things together, so that's no issue.

Really, none of it is so terribly thwarting, though. There are simply only so many games up my niche enough for me to go all hardcore on.

1. Too much stuff to watch on TV
2. Too many books to read
 
Re: What prevents you from getting down for a few hours of hardcore ga

Yeah, me neither. Although, the thing is for me, gaming is my primary hobby. Instead of watching TV, I would rather play a game. Also, my gaming time is generally in short bursts (15 to 45 minutes) on very short games (1-3 hours), so it stops that feeling of tedium from setting in. I don't get bored with games because I'm always playing something new and I never play long enough to get tired of one specific game. I never planned it that way, but it works out well.

The sun coming up. :)

Really, very little. 369 hours on Call of Duty thus far...
But before someone says "Get a life"-I have one. It's sleep I give up.
 
Re: What prevents you from getting down for a few hours of hardcore ga

Family would be the thing that prevents me, but my wife knows that gaming is my primary hobby. So for example after getting home from the park and frozen yogurt place we put my son down for a nap, and she let me play almost 3 hours of Battlefield 3. I even got to slip in an episode of DS9 into all that. Thank goodness my son took a 4 hour nap.
