The Polls are officially closed and the results are in. I’ll leave the polls up on the right over the weekend for people to view.
Ladies: with 30 votes cast, you are obviously more vocal than the men. 9 of you felt that 2 hours was too much time on the video game console.
Men: with 20 votes cast, I realize that my blog has still not done its job to motivate you to respond, at least not to the extent of the ladies. However, I have realized that I finally found something men and women can agree on – 2 hours is too much time.
Some of you thought more, some though less.
An interesting note: only two men and two women responded that video games are for children. Perhaps those people need to rethink their view of video games. The average gamer is now 35 years old, and the video game industry is starting to approach the movie industry in size and scope.
Surprisingly enough, four ladies voted for “as much as he would like to.” If you were one of those voters, I would be interested in hearing your thought process behind that – leave a comment here.
For everyone: How has gaming affected your married life?
On that note, I’m buying Rock Band this weekend, so my game time will be going back up to around 3-4 hours for a few days (weeks). At least this one I can play with my wife. I’ll also be a blog and beer tonight if any of you are in Portland and want to meet up.
