We work for ourselves. Every free minute can make us $$$ if we want it to. The games that are out now are so good that they end up killing days of our time before we know it. Is it worth killing that time playing a game?
Is playing video games a waste of time for webmasters?

free time and the need for a distraction is good for your overall business. You'll burn out if you spend every waking moment on work.

You guys don't feel bad about doing nothing for stretches of time? I stopped buying games after Metal Gear Solid after I did some calculations of what each waking hour is worth to me.
Hell, your average family in America made less than what I lost by killing productive time playing games when the PS2 came out.

i'd go crazy without downtime. generally i try and get outside or at least to the gym... anything to get away from computers, but not having much luck today. i do get that feeling though i know where you are coming from, just remind myself all work and no play..Originally posted by PornwolfYou guys don't feel bad about doing nothing for stretches of time?

I have the same conflicts with my Xbox.
On one hand it relieves a LOT of stress to just kill motherfuckers in HALO 2 or whatever, but on the other you're like beating yourself up for wasting so much time.
I usually wait until I get ahead and can predict a solid week of some downtime and THEN go buy a game I know will eat up time.
I waited like 3 weeks before snatching up Halo 2.Domain Auction - now till 12:01AM on the 2nd...

It's definitely a huge time-waster, but it's one of the only things I can do that will IMMEDIATELY take my mind off of work. I think it's important to give my head a break from porn and the constant brainstorming of new and creative ways to exploit myself. Video games provide me with something inconsequential to hyperfocus on.
The big problem is not knowing when to stop. I hate myself when I play so long that I'm not even having fun anymore.
How much video game time is a break and how much is a waste?Comment

I go on and off them. I'll play them a couple times a week, but the last time I played a game to beat it was Transformers: Armada on the PS2 and it took about 12 hours of playing time over a week. I also beat Silent Hill 3, but that was playing one evening every month or so with my friend. Now I'm using BloodRayne 2 to get my mind off things for a half hour here or there. I stay away from the MMORPG's, though. That's just asking for trouble.

I have a friend trying to get me to play World of warcraft but i have a fear that it would consume me. Ive stayed away from MMORPGS just because of this reason but it seems like i might get sucked in.I made my fortune selling pubic wigs! New program Merkin Money coming soon!Comment

I'm not saying taking a break is bad. You have to. But we all know how addictive these games can be. I've been smoking the crack pipe called RPG's since The Legend Of Zelda came out in 86. Trust me I know how addictive they can be.
Which leads me to my point, isn't it counter productive for us to even turn them on? It's not like we are 9-5 Joe Schmoes who have tons of free time after work, on the weekends plus the holidays to fuck off and do whatever they like.
Every time you reach in the back of that PS2 and click the switch you effectively kill the time you could be making a gallery, or free sites, or thousands of optimized SE pages, or designing a pay site, or buying Adwords or galleryspots and on and on... That 2 hours if used right easily makes you a couple hundred or more in this business.

There is a time for everything and everyone needs break sometimes, as long as it doesn't get into you work time or have some negative effect over you I think it's totally fine to kick back and play game sometime.Aim: okny

I typically limit myself to one or two rounds, then back to work.
Don't reply. Let it die.
