[quote]if you could post what you do for a living it will help me out[/quote] I'm a female, in my 40s, I work for a medical management software company. Have my own home, cars & boat. I've only been gaming a couple of years but I really enjoy it. I spend a few hours each night on the xbox. Less time in the summer as I spend more time out on the boat. [quote]my gf says that no one with a good job would waste time on video games.[/quote] Exactly how much time does she spend sitting on the couch watching crap like Dancing with the Stars or other TV shows? I think it's rather funny when people criticize gaming and then in the next breath start talking about who's going to be eliminated on this week's Survivor.
