I'm currently reading this book "Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make Us Better and How They Can Change the World".
The author talks about 'How certain GOOD games boost our ve reactions and how it can be applied to the real world to score high'.

As per the book,


So, i just want to know/discuss about your gaming habits here.
I hope this thread will act as CHECK for people, who spend HIGH hours on gaming rather doing 'what's necessary for their life'.

Let me start with mine.

PS - I'm not against GAMERS, coz i'm a GAMER too.

I cant find a thread like this in TDF. If it is duplicate, it can be closed.

20-24 hrs/week.
P.s:IMO,Some parents should really read this book

I do 1 flight everyday on flight simulator x which requires around 1.5 hrs on an average(short hop). then u can add 2 more hours for other games. 3 hrs in total on weekdays and 5 hrs on weekends.

So in total i would say 25 hr/week

 

[ujjwal007]

Not only for them. Its for all those who think GAMING is just a waste of time and doesnt do anything!

From this book, i've learnt that 'A WIN on a HARD level' really elevates our confidence/+ve thought by

Pumping our Adrenaline level high (which makes us feel confident/energetic/highly motivated)
Releasing Norpehinephrine, Epinephrine & Dopamine(which makes us feel satisfied/proud & highly aroused)

Missing those days...
