Hi Mylotters! Good day! The other day, when my friends and I were having a gathering, I new that he stays in front of the computer for 15 hours every saturday and sunday playing. He would just be leaving the computer for a while, like around 10 minutes to pee, eat or do whatever he needs to do. Then after that, he will resume his play. So I was wondering if how long do you stay in from of computer to play online games? Don't your eyes hurt?

Back when I'm still addicted to gaming and I had enough time for it, I can spend more than what your friend does. Summer my longest record is 3 days straight, only took breaks for bath food and whatever else. Then probably 10H + after. The eyes would hurt after a while, but when you're too engrossed with what you play you can barely notice it.

Wow, your friend must really be into playing. I could not imagine doing such just for a few hours. In my case, I really am not a fun of playing online games. I often use the computer for my work. I conduct trainings and use my computer almost everyday presenting. When I am not into such, I am using my computer posting here in mylot and making other things online for earning.

I am sure that you really use the computer and the net so often. You were once my trainer and you were the one who taught me about mylot. :-)

Around 2 to 4 hours a day.. Unless there's too much stress in work and I need to add more rest than usual. Although, it's more game hours on weekends around 6-8 hours.. Just to release the stress and unwind things gotten into me for the whole week. :-D though everyone has their own instrument, but anyway, playing computer games is only one of it.

I usually play games for half an hour or sometimes a couple of hours. I work and study online and sometimes when I need a break I like to play games for a while. I have downloaded some hidden object games and some time management games, and I like to play those games sometimes. I am also a member of King and in the past I often participated in tournaments on King, but now I don't visit the site very often. Normally I only play for a couple of hours or less, but there has been times in the past when I have played all night, because I had just discoved a game that I really liked and I couldn't stop playing.

I play text based online games probably 5-6 hours a day, and an occasional few minutes of something like video poker. I work from home, and I often do this in between my job assignments to help me stay awake and unstressed.

I would have to say some days I spend like 2 hours straight on computer games some days longer when I'm in the zone as they call it. I think a few of the games that i have stayed hooked on with the computer with was vizzard.com once i play certain games anyway and before I know it the clock says 12. No my eyes dont hurt then again I wear glasses to protect my eyes when I am reading and on the computer.

I`m not staying for that long to play online games . I really don`t play that kind of games . I just play one game, and that`s tower defence from custito . It`s addicting for sure. i stayed 2 weeks almost every day to manage to finish the game in hard mode. I didn`t manage to do that . But in the middle mode i managed to finish it , and i was so happy . But after that, i never played online games, even if sometimes i remember of that game and return to try again to fishing it in the hard mode .

Hi, I don't play any online games, I don't have the habit to play games. I prefer to online surf net,facebook,mylot or chat with my friends. It is kinda wasting my time to play an online games. Since I was young, I don't really like to play games.

I am quite into my online game at the moment and I spend almost 20 hours playing it, although one-third of my gaming time is used to socialising with people. It is like both game and social network for me. But I always make sure I don't play more than three hours each time. I want to enjoy my game as well as my normal life.

I used to be addicted with few games from different sites, and whenever I have a chance or having day off from, I will spend about two to three hours playing different games. But then eventually I got bored with those games and I switch to making money online. But still, I do play games when I get so tired being online, but I don't spend as much time like before anymore. Otherwise I will be earning less if for my extra income.

I usually do my tasks here in the computer in the span of 5-8 hours. I dont play an online game but I have The Sims 3. Which I found as addicting as any online game there is. When I woke up in the morning, I immediately open the desktop and start my browsing and surfing as well as doing some jobs online. Then I play the game for 2 hours. I use the computer again on the evening and do those stuffs again. My eyes hurt at first but I think it is getting used to the exposure.

I don't play them at all most times. Sometimes when I am tired of studying and need a break I search for some fun flash games I know of. I know them because I used to play these games pretty often. But I've never played on the computer for hours in a row. I get tired of it way too fast. Not only do the eyes get tired, but also your body, hands and back and neck and everything, because you're in this unnatural sitting position for so long. People are supposed to move around more. I think these people that waste their time for hours playing should take longer breaks at least. It can't be good for the eyes either.

I used to be addicted to Grand Fantasia (I haven't reinstalled it on my laptop, and it's been two months!). During the summer, I would wake up, play, get something to eat, play some more, and sleep. This was 15-18 hours of nonstop playing during summer vacation! Otherwise, I'd play games such as KuriMix or Super Collapse for a few hours at a time.
