The statistics it gives aren't great and I got tired of having the client running in the background all the time. How do you find Raptr DM?mbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037758442729422620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-47278037599845987362010-06-06T22:45:25.538+00:002010-06-06T22:45:25.538+00:00mbp do you use something like Raptr or gamerDNA to...mbp do you use something like Raptr or gamerDNA to keep track of your gaming?DM Osbonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04939313200172575637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-58694351260004824032010-06-04T16:40:07.601+00:002010-06-04T16:40:07.601+00:00Tesh seeing as you work in the industry you have a...Tesh seeing as you work in the industry you have an excuse not to play games at home :) That would be like working overtime!<br /><br />Remember that those numbers only apply to a very small percentage of extreme gamers but one sobering fact that was also noted is that 48 hours a week is only a bit longer than the average amount of time kids spend watching TV!mbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037758442729422620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-25958226623159241862010-06-04T16:29:41.620+00:002010-06-04T16:29:41.620+00:00I'll second the good Cap'n.

That's insane.<br /><br />I certainly don't fit the profile by those numbers... but maybe I should get bonus points for working in the industry and designing games in my spare time?<br /><br />Still... even if you counted my full time job, my spare time designing games *and* the time I actually play games, I might not even get to that 48.5 weekly hours number.<br /><br />That's another stat that seems... extreme.Teshhttp://tishtoshtesh.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-64187400130889163002010-06-04T15:00:41.316+00:002010-06-04T15:00:41.316+00:00It does seem bizarre alright - especially since th...It does seem bizarre alright - especially since these are console gamers so we are probably not talking about two budget casual games per week.mbphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09037758442729422620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36733892.post-2287270570995621422010-06-04T14:37:34.990+00:002010-06-04T14:37:34.990+00:00Extreme Gamers purchase 24 titles every 3 months? ...Extreme Gamers purchase 24 titles every 3 months? That's 100 games per year or 2 games each week! Who buys 2 games every week? Are they seriously trying to tell us that there are people who go to the games store every weekend and buy 2 games every single time? Okay, so they go every other weekend...and buy 4 games??? They go once a month and buy 8 games? Come on! Who does that?<br /><br />These aren't "extreme" gamers. These are people with a problem.Cap'n Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267651027289124037noreply@blogger.com
