i usually like to play at least an hour or two a day sometimes more, w/ marathons on the weekend. Kinda screwd tho right now - my latest rts binge has me suffering the dreaded "gamers wrist" thing, carpal tunnel syndrome..
Been off an on for a couple months, now major pain for like a solid week. Hand & wrist hurts, shoots up into elbow and fingertips. Wonderful!
Watch your posture as you get older, it didnt affect me until recently (im 39) and I used to stay up all night playing FPS & MMOs and stuff. Trying to use a Logitech M570 trackball (i like it for general computing and surfing, but it kinda sucks for gaming) and a wrist brace (which is cumbersome as all hell).
Work is one thing, I shudder to think of life w/ no gaming. Hell, I just bought the Commando games from GOG today!
