    How many of you are former or current computer games addicts?

    Now you are surfing the net do you spend less time gaming?

    I used to like strategy - empire building games anyhow - I find running an internet business is the next step in building an empire

    your thoughts?

    I used to play football management games on the PC - football manager/championship manager were the games. I ended up getting addicted and wasting too much of my time on the game :(

    I was into first person shooters on the PC as well - Soldier of Fortune/Far Cry/ Halflife etc, especially when playing multiplayer online :D

    Haven't played any PC games in ages, I got a Nintendo Wii the other day though and I find this is quite fun, makes a change to the usual gaming experience anyway!

    I used to play lots of games, mostly MMORPGs. I think webmastering made me more "mature" though, because I don't find them all that fun anymore. I usually only play first person shooters now. :p

    I was really into gaming in the 80's and 90's. Now I get paid to play (and have opinions) but I'm not at all as "addicted" as I once was.

    A couple of friends, some beers and a good multiplayer console game is still as much fun as it's always been though (although in the eighties there wasn't any beer involved).

    I used to play WoW. I guess you could say I was addicted, I played 18 hours a day during the summer. The only reason I played that much was because all of my friends played that much so that was our summer socializing. I quit shortly after school started because I got a girlfriend so I havnt touched any games since then. My summer wasnt completely wasted though, I sold my account for $3000.

    Yeah, Age of Empires was great. It got kind of old for me though, I guess. I'm playing Battlefield 2 and Halo right now. :p
