There are plenty of people who game and DO have lifes. In fact, the none gaming part takes up most of their time, and they prefer it over gaming.
But that leaves small windows for gaming. My wife is at work, youngest at school, and i am off, as always on fridays, as i work every other weekend.
So don't tell me i should get a life or do something else. I have a family, a involving job in psychiatry, and a good social life outside of gaming.
I use my window op oppurtunity to get some gaming time when i can, thank you!
