Leaderboard: Holidays to game or holidays from games?
It's Thanksgiving week in the United States, which means that a lot of the Massively staff members will be hanging up their hats for a day. It's an entire day when almost everyone in the country doesn't have to work, and that means an entire day free to game... or an entire day free from gaming. Let's face it, you can get a whole lot taken care of in game when you've got a whole day to devote to leveling or farming or even just crafting. But you can also recharge your batteries away from the daily routine of logging in, and you can appreciate the game a little bit more after a day of fun with friends and family. Besides, you can only clear daily quests in Star Wars: The Old Republic or daily achievements in Guild Wars 2 the one time. So with the holiday looming, which do you think is the better option? Using a holiday specifically to spend a full day in the game? Or using a holiday specifically to spend a full day away from it?
The Daily Grind: How much gaming do you manage on a daily basis?
I spent a weekend away from MMORPGs recently, and while that's somewhat unusual, it's not as unusual as it used to be. Despite popular assumptions to the contrary, the life of a pro game blogger sometimes involves less gaming and more, well... other stuff tangentially related to gaming but more directly in line with administrative duties common to more traditional professions. While I still have occasional binge gaming marathons, my average daily time is down considerably. What about you, Massively readers? How much uninterrupted gaming time do you manage on a daily basis, and is it enough? Every morning, the Massively bloggers probe the minds of their readers with deep, thought-provoking questions about that most serious of topics: massively online gaming. We crave your opinions, so grab your caffeinated beverage of choice and chime in on today's Daily Grind!
Wii Warm Up: Time well spent
Since we just discussed how much time the regular folk spend wrapped up in games in the UK, we figured it might be a good time to discuss how much you guys, gamers of all types, spend playing. More or less than that "average" 6.6 hours per week? Do you spend more time playing alone, or in multiplayer games?
