Students are the main target of that research. Now about older gamers, let's drop 14 down to 6-8.. that is still excessive, and as you point out, how does one have time for the other things. There are some who are seriously addicted to gaming and I think that is horrible.

Normal gaming 1-2 hours a day is more than enough, but with online gaming, it is really hard to get your thrill in after 2-4 hours hehehehe

So I ask you all, how many hours a day on average do you spend playing games? Me, it varies from say 1-2, up to 6-8 on the weekends, depending on what is going on in my life at the time. This weekend i spent around 4 hours playing rise of nations and Pro Driver (thanks reverend for the demo link). I beat rise of nations so I doubt I will play it again.

I really need to stop playing games, but in Japan, in the countryside, there isn't much to be doing..

I need to start fishing again!
