Work mostly. I work for an old-fashioned company here, which means the regular workweek is Mon through Sat, minimum 9a-7p. According to law I should be getting 60 hours of overtime pay per month, but since no one follows laws here I am capped at 30 hours per month. Which means once I hit 30 hours of overtime I punch out and return to my desk.
At least at this job they pay for the 30 hours. My first job here was M-F 10a-10:30p, no overtime pay.
I've got classes at night, twice a week so overall I tend to just play games on Sunday or an hour here or there during the week.

Phew. And here I always whine to myself that I have no time to myself and live at my job. I might be okay with hours like that if it was office work though.

The work culture here sucks. Phew. And here I always whine to myself that I have no time to myself and live at my job. I might be okay with hours like that if it was office work though. It is office work (though sometimes when the shipping center is busy I have to leave my work at 6p and then go help pack boxes for free until 10p). It sucks that I have basically one night to do anything per week. I can choose to go out with my wife OR go out with friends. It's a decision I have to make every week. |

The work culture here sucks. Yep The reason I asked if you were a real estate agent is that every one of them I meet here work insane hours. One of them would get up around 7am, get himself out the door to work and wouldn't get back in the door until around 1 or 2am the next morning. Good old 18 hour work day.  He did get two days off a week though. And he was making a decent living screwing people over with key money. |

God damned mother fucking electricity going out. Nothing like it going out twice while when I'm playing games. The second time it was even fucking raining. Argh! I thought it might have corrupted my Mass Effect 2 saves, thankfully it did not, but it reset all my key bindings and counts towards achievements. Then I was playing Minecraft and it went out again (thankfully I wasn't near lava), but then my router was being a bitch and had fuck around with that for like a half hour to get back online...

Work, as usual. Working full-time means money for games I want, but not enough time to play them! So very backlogged and jumping around between games a lot. But it is better than the opposite problem I suppose.

^I remember when the opposite was true for me in school. I think I beat Shadow of the Colossus 4-5 times. I completed the hard mode time trials a few times too.  |

Before I got broadband service, I would play home console or computer games more than once a week, and I'd go to my local library to go online. But now that I have broadband, I'm finding that I prefer browsing news sites and posting on forums to video games. And I try to get outside after work for important stuff like exercise and meeting friends. (I'm also not sure if I enjoy video games in general any more.)

Ouch...that really sucks. Sorry to hear about that. |

I've been watching many of the older Super Sentai shows for the past two years or so. I plan on watching at least all of the pre-Zyuranger seasons and I'm almost there. I've seen all of the early 90s shows and almost all of the 80s ones in their entirety. I need to watch one more before moving on to the 70s stuff.
I'm also watching the current season Gokaiger, which is pretty awesome as well. I like the episode from three weeks ago where the team got their asses handed by several sixth rangers.

What's taking time from gaming? Drinking and partying. It's hard to game after a 12-pack.

Work, going out, and surfing the internet.

I saw The Incredibles today. It was pretty good.
