Poll: More Escapist then Gaming?

[DarkhoIlow]

I play games more than I visit sites and forums so no.

Games have a pause feature,which if it's really needed you can alt-tab(in PC gamers case) and write a response or check something out.

I don't really game anymore. I haven't played a game alone in months. I should though, maybe in the summer.
I do however go here every day, and many other game-sites. So pretty easy question for me to answer.

Not more than I game lol but I do spend more time here atm cos the guy I game with is building a bike for the summer and I hanker for fellow geeks to talk too.

I am always on the forums whilst I game

so about the same amount of gaming as Escapist I guess.

 

[GonzoGamer]

Christ I hope not.
I mostly spend time here when things are dead at work.
If things ever got that dead here, I would be more worried about income.

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

When I'm at college yes. While at home I've got more free time so no.

 

[Entreri481]

Wow, it's about 50 50, I thought it would be skewed towards playing games more.

 

[SilentCom]

Recenlty, I would have to say yes, I do spend more time on the Escapist than playing games.

 

[Zhukov]

Yes, sometimes.

But that's mostly because I write slowly. A proper multi-paragraph post can take me about an hour.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Yes mostly because I can't play games much anymore but somehow wasting 10 minutes on the Escapist keeps getting by.

 

[Easton Dark]

Not just the Escapist, but all things internet really.

I still get in a good 1-3 hours of gaming a day though.

 

[Vault101]

acctually.....yeah In fact Id say I spend more type worrying abotu gaming in general than actually playing games

 

[TiefBlau]

Currently, yes.

This website is perfect limbo-fodder. That is, it's ideal for when you want to procrastinate, but you don't want to feel like a self-indulgent asshole by actually gaming.

I tend to agree...

It also feels more like being productive than straight-up gaming. Like you're contributing to the community, you know?
