Kennysplash Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Binge gaming simply refers to playing for hours nonstop, say 4 hours and above. Most times when you are done you feel depleted of energy to do anything productive, and you just feel the need to not try it next time. But it can be inevitable when you have a favorite game, and you just can’t bring yourself to put down the controller. Have you ever binged on a game? Do you do it often?

Dismal_Bliss Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I will binge game when I am sick with covid or the flu, since you can't go out and do anything, and you usually don't feel like doing anything anyway, lol. The last time I was sick I woke up at 10am and binged the same game till almost midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 No, not anymore. It's what I used to do before when I had excess time at my disposal to play video games without stopping for hours. Right now, even the 24 hours in a day isn't enough for me. So if I'm playing video games, it's going to be snappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JennyorAlice Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I might if I have several days off in a row or if I'm on vacation. It all depends on my days off from work and if I have to do stuff on my days off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have all engaged in binge gaming at certain points of our lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpvr Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 No, not anymore. I used to binge game a lot, but now when I game, it’s only for quick sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I played Hogwarts Legacy last year, there was no such thing as a quick session. I played that game all day long on my day off because it was easy for me to loose track of time on my day off while playing that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as it is fun and enjoyable to play video games, there are always going to be things that are going to have the priority when it comes to getting your attention which is the reason why gaming will always come up as a backup.

Lens Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Back in the day, I’ve spent an entire day playing my favorite game and forget about food sometime. I've actually lost count of how many times I did this 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is when you have satisfied yourself that your eyes will open to reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 3 Share Posted October 3 I've definitely binged on games! Sometimes, I lose track of time while immersed in the world, but it feels worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOn Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 Yeah, I have been involved in some marathon gaming sessions too many times that I can't actually count. Immersive games like The Elder Scrolls V: I think Skyrim and The Witcher 3 have me hooked each time I play them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
