Question
I have, in the *cough*past*cough*, found that games take over a significant portion of my life, and free time - and, like a troll that's been sitting in the basement for too long, that they are constantly hungry for more.
What can I do to make sure that I both have time for gaming, and don't end up affecting the rest of my life too negatively (ie, make sure I have time to work, eat, shower, meet girls and get drunk)?
Answer
Really, it's a matter of discipline. I'm a married software architect with 5 kids. It can be difficult at times. But the main thing is to keep gaming at the lower priority.
Since gaming is a time of venting that doesn't make me money or advance my life in any way, it comes after work, time with kids, time with my wife, and all the "Honey-Do's" she has for me. My wife is also always able to interrupt me at any time I'm gaming. She takes the priority.
Now, if you start working the dream job for Game Informer or something where you get paid to do the stuff, then you're golden. {-o)
