Does anyone have problems with playing video games for hours on end without stopping every day?

I have always played video games since I was young. I am now 31.

Currently I probably play 3 hours average per day plus 4-5 at weekends.  I can become incredibly invested.

Time just seems to pass by very quickly and I only really stop because my partner tells me to. 

Anyone experience this?  Is it good? Or is it bad?

Cheers

  • I have to say that sounds like an unhealthy addiction to me.  It's what, more than 50 days a year, assuming all 24 hours?  No judgement at all - we all do things that wouldn't appeal to others - but you could achieve a hell of a lot in that time. I run one of our little companies in less time than that.  But whatever gets you thro the night.
