Binge gaming, anyone does it personally?

[Naiwen]

I could binge play for hours a few games in turn. And because I have very severe Asperger’s and OCD, I’m fixated on the few usual games I love from at least 20 years ago such as “Super Smash Bro’s”, “Tales of franchise”, “Mario Kart franchise” and all the other Mario games on my GBA and Wii. Gaming is life for me personally.

In my teens I did, but now I just don't have the time. If I did, then yeah, I likely would binge game because it's my escape, my fun. Can't imagine not gaming if I had ample time to do whatever I wanted.

Yep, I totally do. I finish work around lunchtime so if I've no plans with friends I'll spend the rest of the day playing a game. Usually its Natural Selection 2, which I'm super proud to announced I had put in 103hrs over a 2 week period back in october

NS2 is a pretty unique game in that it's a Real-Time Strategy / First Person Shooter hybrid. Imagine a strategy game like Civ but each team has one guy playing the strategy part, but the rest of the players are actually the worker/warrior units on the field who are playing the first-person shooter aspect. It's all about territory control, keeping the enemies economy low before moving in and taking out their main base. Goes on sale on steam quite often for like $5 so I deffo recommend checking it out

Also before anyone points it out, I know Civ is turn-based and not real-time but I reckon it's the most known strategy game so it felt like a better choice of example

I used to binge on playing games when I was younger, and when I have free time I still do it. Playing games is quite relaxing and entertaining so I spent more than 2 hours doing it.

What games do you binge on?

More on racing and shooter games like Halo. I also like playing fighting games and mobile games, but nowadays I don't have the time for it.

These days I do not play game. However, when I first discovered Temple Run or candy Crush, I used to play hours, sometimes even 5 hours straight. These games began draining my hand set battery, therefore, I stopped.
