Longest time without gaming

[Polnareff]

Broke my right arm and was in a cast for six months. It was torture, especially since I was going through the hugest Street Fighter phase during that time frame. The worst part was going to a laundromat where they had an SFII machine, and having to watch other dudes do touch of death combos on each other, instead of playing against them myself due to my arm still being broken.

Four months during my senior year of uni. I was interning, going to classes, working and doing a thesis. There was no time for games or sleep.

Not long. I'm always dabbling in something so make a week at most like if I'm on Holiday.

Within the past decade or so I suspect my time without playing games has never been longer than a weekend -- if there are no video games to be found, I'll very often come up with some form of paper based game to play.

[The Man]

Probably a few months to a year or so. I don't know.

There was a time period of about a year or two where I lost interest in games. I was unable to find that "it" game to recapture my attention. It wasn't fun. I felt pretty empty. But the games just weren't there for me. And I imagine it wasn't abnormal for me to go a month or more without touching a game during that period. Fortunately I have a lot more access to computer and web games and such, and almost all the newer consoles available (I had mistakenly locked myself into the 360 at the time when surely Naughty Dog games and the like would have suited me far better than Halo and Gear of War)

Boy am I glad that time in my life is over. I'm still really picky and its still hard to find a good game. But there's always something. The holiday rush these past few weeks have been killing me. Long hours at work, and feeling to exhausted at home to get too into a game. Fortunately I have a few short days coming up and a weekend off. SLEEPING AND PERSONA 4 *glee*
