Who here really does talk more about games than play games?

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Lately I have been, because I haven't had time to concentrate on a game with school and what not, but I want to start playing a lot more now that its Summer.
 
I'd imagine a great deal of members that happen to have internet access at work. Back when I did tech support I basically browsed forums for 10 hours a day.

*shudder*
 
Every single one of us. Because if we were playing games, we wouldn't be posting here (or we'd be posting game-related questions, like boss strategies).

I find that nowadays I have to get a quick GAF fix, before even thinking about playing a game, unless it's a AAA title that I've just bought. Unlike most folks here, I have a job where I work outside. OUTSIDE! Which means I get my RDA of sunlight, a nice farmer's tan, and fresh air. I think I would snap if I had to sit in front of a computer inside all day as a job.

Also like some other folks, I read much more than post. I check out the Gaming and Off-Topic forums on a daily basis.
 
at one point you gather so much knowledge and experiance about VG that many seem badly done or lack innovation. So being able to talk about game is more fun.

Perhaps Gaming Age forum game would be popular, like a pokemon game but use insane game trivia to win fight :P
 
I talk wayy more about games than I actually play. At least right now. From my conversations ppl would think I play games 24/7 when at most I play an hour or so a day.
 
I do. Mostly because the majority of the time I spend in front of the PC I'm working, like right now. So, at the same time I have a window with the forum open to clear my mind once in a while.
 
Yaknow-if you stay away from this forum and play games it really does change your perspective on them. In short-you don't go in with a pre conception that this game sucks or this one over here is game of the year because a billion fanboys said so. It sorta makes playing the games alot more fun,the way it use to be before I had internet access.

So yeah I try to play more instead of spending too much time posting on these forums nowdays. Its still fun to stop in and browse a few times a day though.

same here.

I absolutely do spend more time reading about, writing/posting about and doing internet searches about videogames more than I do actually playing them. by a huge amount.
 
I do. Well, did until I picked up a DS and PSP. I'm just not that into home consoles anymore but am in love with my two portables. I must say, though, I am addicted to GAF. I'm on it all the time, reading through most of the threads, and am now slowly trying to post more. Hopefully I'll get back to my old playing habbits eventually.
 
I spend more time on the internet when I am at home when I should be playing the games I buy so many of. With exceptions of like... MGS3 and... I dunno, most of Suikoden IV and SMT: Nocturne, I rarely play my consoles anymore.

Handhelds though, are another matter. I have been going hardcore with my PSP, GBA and DS to pick up my gaming slack. Boktai, Meteos and Metal Gear Ac!d have been consuming my time to game. I usually play at work during breaks or whatnot.

It's just hard to devote so much time to games anymore. I'm not 12 any longer, and life is not so free with it's time to me.

I still love videogames and the people behind them though.
 
I definately read more about games than actually play them these days. I guess you can compare it to someone that likes Basketball, he asks around who won the latest match but he doesnt really watch it. I enjoy the politics and drama behind the game industry - who has the most marketshare, what new systems are beeing released, what company merged with what company, etc. I usually just play a few games here and there, nothing that takes up too much time.
 
Me.

But I used to post a lot more than I do now.

But thats partly due to the fact that I just got very sick.
Fucking diseases.

So now I barely post, and I just play my DS occoassionally.
