What's The Longest You've Gone Without Gaming?

[wraggster]

You know it, you love it, Tell Us Dammit. No, rather TELL US DAMMIT. Yep! Time to learn about each other. How it works: We ask a question, you answer it. Simple and no strings attached! This isn't some marketing survey or whatever. It's an emotional investment in you. Yes, we're interesting in knowing you, Kotaku reader person. You probably know ****tons about us — more than you even want to, we're sure. But, hey, we'd like to know about you. That way you won't be some faceless blob — and we might feel a tinge of guilt when we ban your ass. Or not, because really we're incapable of human emotion. Sadness.

Question
What is the longest you have gone without gaming?

[newb_fo_life]

[darkness angel 777]

about one week it was the most painful week of my life.

[pspmodel1001]

1 month, 1 very depressing month.(sniffle)

[Aryn]

One week, and I was perfectly fine without video games. I still play one occasionally strictly for entertainment value.

Oops! My girlfriend read this article and is trying to make a bet with me that I can not go one month without games. I am not sure if I want to do that...

[Capt_Trips]

Nearly one year, against my will. We played a lot of basketball and lifted weights.

When I could game again, I spent the next year or more hooked on Soul Calibur.

Oh well, "All's well that ends well.":)

[Mc_Logical]

Well if any1 has done gaming everday since they were young, then u have some problems lol not getting laid perhaps? but anyway ive allways played games since young, and the most longest without gaming? not sure but there ain`t a week past since master system I haven`t played, yes I go out, games etc is just another hobby, beats tv lol

[JKKDARK]

less than 2 months

[mike_jmg]

I can't really remember, maybe like a week when I was on vacation, too much other stuff to do and no portable system back then :p

[goshogun1]

A few years ago I went to Peru for 10 days. Didn't play any games. Seeing ancient ruins was more of an adventure than any game I have played recently.
I do seem to play every single day I can though. It sure beats watching most television out there.

[masterchief929]

i was once grounded for a painful 3 months... i almost went suicidal.

[davidcrew]

4 years.


Age: 0-4

[Shadowblind]

probably about a week....I have extremely little to do besides play games :o

[paughthead]

Couple days tops for me.

[Mark30001]

Like a couple of months.

[ZAFDeltaForce]

1 full month

[sedkiller]

I made a bet with my dad that i would not play ANY video games for a year. It was soooo looonng but i did it =P

[Shrygue]

I can't accurately remember a time where I didn't play video games for any given length of time but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened at all. Prehaps...maybe 3 months or so? In any case, I can live without playing video games for any length of time.

[HexenDarkside]

From when I was born to when I played Intellivision when I was 5

[Sketchy]

Probably about two days, i like to have a lil session in the morning before work :D

[Cerepol]

2 Week I was on vacation, oh scratch that I had my GBC so umm 1 week when I was grounded when I was around 7.

[Veskgar]

Unfortunately it was a 7 month duration for me without gaming. I was in prison for a fight I got into so I had no choice....

Much to my delight I received a Game Boy Advance SP and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance as a "homecoming" gift at the end of that 7 months.

[Eviltaco64]

Maybe 2 months when I was young (I mean like when I was 7 years old, as a punishment). I remember being so happy when I finally picked up a Playstation controller and played some Parappa

[kjetil1991]

1 summer (two mohnts) not in the winter:D
