EDIT Male, 15 btw
1) Yes I do, despite that being a pretty vague demographic.
2) I'm not entireley sure, but around 50 probably would be a reasonable estimate. 60-75% of my free-time, basically.
3) Mostly by myself, but I have a TF2 server that I go to all the time and it is a lot of regulars that are familiar with each other.
4) Well, all of them I suppose, to some degree or another.
5) Yes, most games I play are online, but it depends on what game I'm into at the time. You could say about 80% is online.
6) Again, I don't know for sure but I follow quite a bit of gaming channels on youtube. Drybear, STAR_, GameGrumps. Quite a bit I suppose.
7) A lot of different genres interest me, but my two main games are TF2 and Smite right now.
8) Around 5 I guess, because they were available to me.
9) Mother just sees them as entertainment, like TV or something. She doesn't really understand them and doesn't care much either. She plays puzzle games on her Kindle Fire a lot though, so I guess she's ok with them for the most part.
10) Watch youtube videos, typically of people playing video games.
11) Emotionally involved? I'm afraid I don't quite understand. I suppose I tend to get pretty attatched to games and play them to the exclusion of other games, and often get nostalgic about games I haven't played in awhile, if that's what you mean. If the story is good in a game, then I tend to get pretty invested too.
12) Pretty poor at the time being. More failing than passing because I've always struggled to do homework.
13) No.
14) Indirectly I suppose, I naturally slack and my preffered method of slacking is games, but I don't think games have anything to do with that. If it wasn't games it would be something else.
15) No.
16) Multiplayer games, to master the mechanics and be the best there ever was, single player games to be immersed in a setting or story typically, although if the game is more skill based like an online game that's how I'll play it.
17) I don't think so, but i don't really know for sure.
18) It would depend how you define unhealthy. Some might see my play habits as unhealthy, and maybe they're right but it works fine for me. So whenever either the person deems their own habits to be unhealthy, or if video-games negatively impacts themselves to the point where it's ruining their lives or someone else's.
19) I doubt it, I would still probably be playing some sort of visual novel game with narration when I'm old and my hands are to arthritic to hold a controller and I'm to slow to react fast enough to play anything action based.
20) Other than virtual hats, nothing comes to mind.
