So I was talking to some friends of mine, friend's that do not play video games, and they were saying that people that play games do not have any lives.
Saying that it takes 40+ hours on some games to complete them, and I can understand that with some of these RPG's that are out there. But I told them that, with me anyway, I balance my social life, and family life....with video games. Sometimes I wake up early and play a little bit before I go to work, or before my wife wakes up on the weekend.
But anyway, the point of this thread is this....How do you guys balance out your Social/Family life with Video Games. I don't only want people that are not married or who aren't over the age of 13 to answer this question. I'm interested in hearing how the older gamers, those who are married and have full time jobs, balance there love for games, with there life.
Like I just mentioned above, during the weekday if there is a game I like, I might wake up an hour or so early to play before I go to work, and on the weekend I wake up early before my wife gets up. Sometime's I play while she is playing pogo, or not doing anything. But right now we only have one television so I try to minimize me playing while she is around just out of consideration of her. I usually just game when I am the only one awake, haha.

If i have time during the week and am in the mood then i'll play. Fri/sat i go out with my girlfriend, and sunday is usually a family day.
