    Re: Ever taken an Extended break from gaming?

    Yep in college, finished a two year program in one year. Didn't play for about 9 months. Now I don't play games that much at all only on the weekends if I'm not busy and not tired. If I'm tired ill just watch TV or Netflix its more relaxing.

        Took about 10 years off from my early 20s to my early 30s...In that time I got married, bought a house, and had 2 kids. Now gaming is a nice distraction.

          Doing so now. Last time I played a game on my PS3 was before Thanksgiving.

          Both because of the holidays, and also because the games I have are growing stale, lol...

            I took a break of several years from 1993 (SNES era) to 1997 (PSOne). I purchased FFVII with my PSOne and I was back in love again. Ever since that time I find myself going through intense spells with gaming. A couple of months of daily gaming and then several months of not playing at all. It's really strange.

              Not really an extended break, but I've had a lot less time to play video games with my current job. Even when I have had time there are instances when I'm just not in the mood to play anything I own, but with all that said, I don't think I've gone more than a week without playing a video game.

                Summer holidays I'm usually travelling and don't game much, this past summer I was travelling and then moved so didn't have my consoles for 4 months. That is about as long as I've gone in a very very long time.

                  I've had a few breaks, due to work and school- where the free time I had didn't go to videogames. But now that I am in my real job, thats in the past.

                  Naturally though, I tend to take a relative break during the fall- between football, the TV shows we watch, hiking, and the ridiculous number of awesome festivals in Nashville in the fall, those eat up my time to a point I really don't play much.

                  After the end of football season, my gaming really picks up

                      So no, it wasn't a true halt. I can go without gaming if I want to, though. Can't go without browsing OS about games and watching movies/sports, though.

                      if i dont have the abilty to game then browsing the forums is like torture...

                        The longest break I have taken from gaming was like a 2 hour nap last week. No that is a lie I went to work a couple of days last week, well no that doesn't count because I play games there to. So yeah probably the nap thing.

                          Took the better part of two years off because of work, college, and being broke to the point of not being able to replace my dead 360. Just bought an Xbox One at release and have been easing back into gaming

                            Extended break? You mean like getting up to use the bathroom AND get some more snacks?

                              Man there are no flashers... now what are we going to do for vd
                              I'm sure there's plenty of prostitutes you could pay if you really want vd.
                              yea but will they take psn cards
                              Depends on what area of a hooker you would use to redeem them.

                                Xbox 360 broke for 4th time and no more warranty. I didn't play for almost two years, starting again on XBox One launch day.
