I heard this cool one-liner a while ago: "There is no irl, only afk". Is that true for you quakers out there? I mean, we all have to go to work or go to school but besides that, what are your activities outside gaming?

For me that's pretty simple, I spend most of my free time in pubs or clubs. Nothing beats a nice, cold beer, some friends to chat with and some good music to dance till the early hours.

From March - September I also ride the bike pretty often to stay healthy. Let's face it, gaming only makes us lazy :p In fact, if I could convert all my gaming hours to sporthours, I would probably have the sexiest body in the whole world

I work, work, work at the moment. When I'm at home, which is the vast majority of the time out of work, I just sit at my PC in my room.. Nothing better to do in the house.

However, I live for the weekend and heading out with mates. Fuck sitting in all the time wasting away, man.

I used to do quite some stuff untill I discovered Quake Live...

Gonna try to cut back though... really need to start exercising again. Used to do like 3/4 times per week before quake live.

Got such an addictive personality ;(

Well Mal, knowing you are still the over leader with regards to time played I would indeed consider you addicted to this game :p.

Sexyteen, don't let your work consume you ... work to live, don't live to work

at least everyone still has time to go out during the weekend there was a time everyone saw gamers as the socially handicapped who eat, drink and sleep at their computer

I only play 3 evenings per week. The remainder of my evenings I spend with my wife and dog (no kids yet). At the moment we're doing nothing but planning and calculating about the house we're gonna build in 2009.

I works as a car mechanic (SAAB, OPEL, GM US and Izusu), the time I don't work I usually spend watching TV, playing or use the computer or doing something boring

I definitely agree with the saying "work to live, don't live to work". But right now, with this financial crisis, there isn't much of choice. During the week I work with kids in an after-school setting, and although I really enjoy it, I don't make nearly enough money.

I do hang out with my closest friends on the weekends though. We just sit around, talk, watch TV, and play games. (Like Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Mario Kart Wii) As for how I'd like to be spending my time (if I had more money) though, it would be doing these.

1. Playing Hockey. I used to play in a roller hockey league, as goaltender, and I loved every minute of it. I was even the MVP of the league. After a particularly crushing playoff loss though, I stopped playing. Now I'd really like get into an adult ice league, but I just need to save the money to get all new pads.

2. Paintball. I've only done this once in the past, but it would be great to go upstate every now and then and have some 'irl' CTF games.

3. Hanging out in the local arcades. Back in the 90's, arcades where everywhere, and there was nothing better then chilling out with your best buds, taking on strangers at Street Fighter, or Daytona USA. Too bad arcades are dead.

3. Quake. No description needed.
