How much of a gamer are you?

[kenny]

How often do you play ANY kind of video game or a game on any electronic device, on the Internet counts, at a video arcade counts ... even chess and solitaire count.

For this poll playing things like Monopoly on a board, chess on a board or cards with real physical cards does not count.

 

[kenny]

The only e-game I have ever played is is solitaire on my HP iPaq.
I play maybe 10 hands every night, in bed, right before going to sleep.

That's all ... so I voted 9.

 

[gregchang35]

I played scrabble ALOT.... now it iswords with friends WWF.
Scrabble used to be on the PC, now WWF is on a device.

I have countles games going on...
first thing in the morning, lunch break and then before bed.. keeps my mind active! LOL

 

[Karl_K]

never
games don't do anything for me and I am quickly bored.

 

[ckrickett]

I game a lot! PC console, phone, you name it! I do some correspondent work for a nerdy podcast about art and geeky culture, a lot of it game related. Since I am a pop culture painter, it helps with my work too!

 

[Circe]

I game exactly zero, but I think I have contact gamer status thanks to my husband, who loves strategy wargames and plays an hour or two every day or so.

 

[lulu]

Words with Friends and Scrabble. I have about 25 games going all the time.

 

[movie zombie]

every Friday night hubby and I.
yes, I play Army of Two, Halo, Gears of War, Badlands, etc.
every day I play Majong on the internet.
and some days I play solitaire on my phone.
in the poll I chose "once a week" but now that I've written this I realize it really is an everyday thing.
however, Friday night we play for hours...........

 

[Dancing Fire]

I am too old to play video games.

 

[Dee*Jay]

I play scrabble on my ipad when I fly if I run out of things I want to read, so I voted once a month.

 

[tyty333]

I play solitaire and Parking Lot on my tablet while I sit in the car and wait for the bus.
(I have no wifi so I cant read mail or hit the internet).

I might do the free spins on my casino game when I remember but otherwise no interest. DH is a die hard gamer. So I catch his gaming fumes.

My SO is addicted to a casino game thing.
He says no money is involved so no harm done.
I can't understand the thrill if there is no payout ... but I don't get any money for a high solitaire score ... my highest being 740.

 

[chrono]

Die hard gamer but I don't like games involving the exchange of money.

 

[JewelFreak]

I'm like DF and I don't care.

 

[AprilBaby]

Zero; boring. And I'm too old for that.

 

[packrat]

Zilch. Unless you count the kids wanting to play me in tic tac toe or checkers on their kindles once in a while. We have a Wii but it hasn't been played in a couple years.

 

[monarch64]

My 70-something mom plays words with friends and something else all the time on her iphone.

I don't game at all anymore. Basically impossible with a little one around.

 

[manderz]

I voted 8, but after reading what some of the other ratings were, I should change my vote. I play small, quick games on my phone daily, and a couple days a week I play PC games for an hour or so.

 

[Niel]

I don't have the time I used to. But we have a gamers PC, a PS, PSP, my old gameboy and old Dreamcast (yes I love my dreamcast and shenmue is the best console game!)
I have a videogame decal on my car, tattoo on my body.....

So I don't know how to vote. I love videogames, but as a busy pregnant mom with a difficult toddler, I don't have the time currently.

 

[jaysonsmom]

I play words with friends everyday (before bed). Used to be a big Bejewelled player too.

Mine's the GSN Casino game. Game Show Network one.

 

[TooPatient]

Never.

We do not have any sort of gaming console in our house and will not have one.
Computers may or may not have games that came with Windows (or Linux depending on the computer) but I wouldn't know. Never bothered to look.

I've seen a game tile on my cell phone but couldn't tell you what (if anything) is already there. Never bothered to look.

I have enough other stuff to do without taking time out for a game. If I have a few minutes of down time, I am either reading a book (if I'm not at home where I would be doing laundry or dishes or brushing a cat or...) or trying to catch up here on PS.



Oh!
I did play a chemistry "game" a couple of days over summer. You type all of the names of the elements as quickly as you can. The goal is to get all 114 (spelled correctly) in under 10 minutes. (there is a blank text box you type in and as you get each element done it colors the appropriate square on the Periodic Table)
There was also the Spanish practice "game" I did for about 10 minutes to make sure the vocabulary and everything was correct before sending the link to "A" so she could practice over summer.

 

[telephone89]

Almost never. I occasionally play bejeweled or family feud on facebook but that is about it.

I love watching other people play video games though, then it's like a story for me haha.

 

[Ariadne_Theia]

I play pretty regularly. My favorite mobile game is 4 pics 1 word. I play competitively against my mother.
I also play World of Warcraft. With the new expansion coming out soon, I've been playing nearly everyday.

 

[Ally T]

Absolutely never. But I used to work at EA Games (UK) as a Project Manager & ended up marrying a Senior Producer. He went to Game Director level for PlayStation (Europe) after that & now owns his own game developer. So.... He plays a lot & is excused!

For someone married to such a geek, I am a HUGE techno-phobe & was forced into getting a smart phone & giving up my precious buttons only a month ago!

 

[dawnxcui]

i need an option that says multiple hours a day...lol
i think i might be the most hardcore gamer here........starcraft, dota, HoN, hearthstone...plus...every single phone game you can possibly think of....
