How much is too much?

johntkelly · 09-06-05, 12:13 PM

I work full time and go to business school part-time.
I'm also married.
Oh, and I keep telling my husband that a submarine is no place to raise kids and anyway, it's not safe to bring children into the world while there's still an armada of Fiji's, frigates and C Class DDs out there.

Am I over-doing it?

:hmm:

How much time per week does the average SHIII'er spend at the helm?

From a long time gamer.....

A good rule of thumb, is if the issue even comes up, and has to be asked, you've gone overboard.

Gaming is what I do, in lieu of golf, hunting, fishing, or any of that other goofy stuff. So I do a lot of gaming.

But at the end of the day, one needs to remember that it is in fact just a game, and just a hobby.

Don't let real life take a back seat.

Of all the games, THIS is the least likly id expect a girl to play.

I'm with Monolith: if you start wondering about your game time vs. real life issues, it might be a good idea to take a break. Just for a while, to get your bearings straight again :P When SH3 came out, wild horses couldn't drag me away from it. Now, I'm having bit difficulties when trying to kill a storm, for example. Takes only a couple of hours, maybe, but the message is clearl: time to give it a rest, buddy, you're overdoing it.
