Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
Ok i lied this is where it goes.

It's like this:
Why watch someone else suck a cock when you can be the one sucking a cock!
That means on average people play about 2.5 hours per day. I thought it would be at least 3, closer to 4-5.
Pretty sure that just means a gaming capable PC.

I didn't expect it to match the overall divide between gameplayers in general, but that's quite the imbalance.
Based on the server logs for my signature and avatar, I'd put it closer to 10% of the users here surf the forums from a Mac. And I use a Mac and visit threads I've posted in a disproportionate amount.

Man, it kinda depresses me.

Some of us have lives. After a full day at work, plus commute, I get about four hours of free time in the evening for myself. I'm married, so at least half that has to go towards the wife.
It just takes one obscenely rich guy to fuck it up for the rest of us.
Oh wait, that's household income isn't it? So that could be two people's income put together.
Well, that could be like, three or four people put together.
Yeah I was "wait what?" about that too.
It's kinda sad that we are 94% male. I mean, damn... >_>;
Wait, what?
It could mean in the gaming sense. Lots of people don't use their PCs to play games.
I mean, I get what you're getting at. But that isn't it. Even though it'd be kinda funny.

Most of you guys are evil, by the way.
EDIT: Also depending on how the survey software interprets answers it may have counted the figure I entered in Pounds as US Dollars for household income.
I wasn't surprised at the male:female ratio, per se, but it was still a little sad, yeah.

Average age is 26 and average income is over $60,000. Ergo, most people are too busy working to play yer damn vidya games.
A large number of the people on these boards have their own families, homes and careers.
