How do you deal with time constraints?

About Dragon's Dogma. If like it so much you should Platinum it. It will get recorded on the global ranks.

I get a lot of sense of accomplishment in games from unlocking things, like new customs in Tekken Tag Tournament II, achievements in Crimzon Clover World Ignition, or beating a new solar system in Chronicle Saviours.

But if video games are not an option a good way to spend your time is to read a new book, and I mean from start to finish.

Nowadays there are so many good book options that if you storm reading through the pages like a mad man it is totally OK. Once you do that, you'll know if it is good enough to read it again a few times, or just move on the next one, as you do with comic books and Manga.

The next thing you can do is work out, get an eliptica so you can exercise while you watch Anime. And definitely get dumbbells because lifting is also important.

Exercise will inject testosterone into your veins, it will make you more relaxed and it will give you the energy necessary to do the things you need to do through out the day like learning a new Karin and R. Mika link chain combo with your fight stick.

Another thing that affects your psique is eating shit food, instead of shit food eat a salad with spinach and kale and drink pure water.

Last thing and probably the most beneficial thing you can do is have a 20 minutes meditation session every day where you clear your mind completely and don't think of anything. Instead you only hear the sound of your breath. It will help you achieve your goals, it will make you more grounded as a person, and hot models will gravitate towards you wanting to take their cloths off so you can look at them.

Also don't forget to shower and brush your teeth, those are always good things to do. In other words be wise, and be a good wing to your friends.

I usually end up playing eight hours or less per week. I'm not as big a gamer as I used to be and I don't get that sense of achievement from them anymore. (but I rented out Borderlands 2 last night so I've been playing a bit more than usual).

Additional: With that regard, I tend to go with games that's not too elaborate, like Rogue Trooper or Ghostbusters on the PS2, becuase I'd rather save my brain power for something else.

I think my schedule ends up being more similar to Cervantes' judging by how he described his availability of time, and yeah, like some of you guys shorter games just became the thing for me. That's certainly a good factor in me becoming attached to Way of the Samurai 4, since I can enjoy a story/role-play in a short amount of time.

In case some of you wondered (ok, I saw at least one of you did) I put the "over 8 hours a day" option because some well defined groups of people can identify themselves under it: people who work with videogames and kids who have nothing else to do.

And stratogustav, thanks for the recommendations! Unfortunately not everything you said is viable or applicable to me. The nicest suggestion you gave I think was reading, but then again I've had 6 hours to play videogames, spitting that with other things would make the sense of failure grow exponentially.

Don't you have a calendar in yer phone?...

Why not use the daily planner in there as a timetable.
Just delegate 4-5 gheyme hrs every night after dinner (plus some in the morning if you can get up early enough - that's why sleep on the couch!) and there ya gow.

Just how lax are your schedules?

Hey! If it's not your favorite hobby, then yeah, it's healthy to do it now and never. If it is your favorite one and you do it now and never, you're just not healthy.

Lol I wish I had that kind of free time.

Like the good captain Kirk said:
- "If something's important, you make the time."
