Finally, now when people call me lazy for playing video games all day I can say I'm an 'extreme gamer'.

Well, I guess I'm an "Extreme" Gamer then. Funny, when I saw the 48-hour time in the title, I thought it was about the decline of time amount of hardcore gamers playing.

Hell, I can push for 72 hours a week now that it's the Summer ;)

it's like playing for two days straight and then taking a 5 day break

which is a terrible idea by the way

They may be unemployed or be students. It doesn't shock me really, I've spent that much time gaming when I've had lots of free time.

sweet, I guess I'm now classed as an Extreme Gamer.
So am I. At least I'm not alone in this category.
I'm pretty sure I fall into this category too. The only thing that takes away from my gaming time is posting here.

48 hours...? If I remember correctly my highest steam rating was about 110 hours in two weeks. Right now it's "31.7 hrs past 2 weeks" but seeing as I've just started summer break that number is bound to increase.

[small][sub]Not to mention I play World of Warcraft on a regular basis. So... yeah...[/sub][/small]

I do that regularly, playing RDR and other games.

I've done it before RDR too because I've got nothing else to do after dark, right?

Edit: ASIDE FROM POSTING ON THE ESCAPIST, OF COURSE.

crap... *scribble down note to not play so many games*

Games statistics are always interesting, but I still can't believe the average gamer age is early thirties.

I've easily spent more than that a week. I'm on college, so on days off or for example my 8 week holiday coming up, I can spend 4-5 days worth of gaming a week.

But 48hrs of watching TV or reading books is totally sociable and acceptable...

Anyway, only 48hrs? Lightweights...




I joke, I joke.

Why do they need to be unemployed or students? You CAN have a job and play 45+ hours a week. I do it all the time and I work full time.

Two days a week... that's it? (only if I get a game that I know I can't beat in two days) I don't think extreme gamers need help; just another hobby.
No, not play 2 days a week(like saturday and sunday) 48 hours on average each week or 7+ hours a day everyday.
