i spend more time on the forums and news and messenger, mainly because at the moment my parents have gone nazi on me and are basically saying if i have fee time i should be studying for a-level re-sits, so if i have internet up i can have a tab for wiki to click to if my parents walk in, however it takes too long to do that with a game

your parents are probably right by the way.

Yeh I'd say your parents may have a point ...
apart from Diablo2 Hmm I'd say I game fairly often thanks to the TF2 Beta.
I mainly read the internet, listen to music and watch my TV shows.
Tell me about it, I last played BioShock 3 days after it came out my saved game said yesterday, I kept on saying "I'm gonna finish it." then reading this forum instead.

shhhhhhhh
I've been slacking a lot lately as well.
When my fiancee is working at weekends I think it should be a good opportunity to get some decent gaming done, I mean I ought to be able to fit in at least 10 hours, but normally it ends up only being a couple of hours. For a couple of years I'd managed to get up a real head of steam and was completing quite a few SP games, but not so much lately.
Ironically the game I've been playing most the past couple of weeks is Far Cry. I completed it 3 years back but am now playing through it again in max settings. It says a lot for the quality of the game that I paid £25 for Bioshock Limited Edition but have only played it once.
Now of course the usual "pc gaming is boring, there are no good games out" brigade will probably roll up at some point, but that really isn't the problem for me. I am not bored by PC games at all, there's loads that I'd like to play. I just seem to end up wasting a lot of time on the forums or whatever these days.

Definitely spend more time on MSN/bulletin boards/myspace than i spend gaming, but to be honest that's more cause i seem to get dizzy after 5 minutes now, my health has been crappy that way for some months now, after it's fixed i'll be back to my usual fix.
