insectoid said: I don't have massive hands (well...bigger than normal I guess), so if I am playing a game that uses the buttons for controls, I physically can't play that long, because the size of the DS and the closeness of the buttons gives me hand cramps

Very funny. I am the exact oppisite my hands are so small the can play forvever, and when i reach forever I GET CRAMPS

well if i am working, at least 8 hours at work... i take my lunch hour to eat, but usually get a good 20-30 minutes in on lunch depending on what/where i eat... at home i play another 2-4 hours i would say...

on non work days, i play a good 12-14 hours roughly... but i also wii fit as well half hours at a time... and try to watch some movies here and there too...

when i go shopping i dont take it with me so i just enjoy the shopping... as well as some flirting...

on a date it really depends on the girl... if she is interesting/cute/outgoing i might not play any DS at all... i still use it for other things tho like a phone/calculator/pda to manage my other dates... girls with less enthusiasm i might play away, or even encourage them to play something as well, if not go head to head at something... Sometimes it even brings them out of their 'shell'...

during BLEEP, i have only ever played DS once... that reaction leads me to think it might not be the best of ideas to do...

I randomly pick up my DS and have a quick game which only last a few minutes. If I'm stuck some where like a boring party or waiting in my car for someone to finish shopping a game could last hours..

I don't really have a schedule. Sometimes I'll have a ten minute bash at something like Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 or quickly run through a single mission on StarFox Command, other times I'll play Mario Kart for hours (online and solo). Phantom Hourglass had me going for nearly an hour a day until I finished it but now I go sailing once a week to try and find the last 3 ship parts to complete my experience.

I play it whenever I'm bored of my Wii and I don't feel like working on any projects (website, games, comics, etc), but I play Pokemon Pearl on a daily basis to raise my dragon pokemon ever so slightly more. My LED has gone red ONCE in the one year I've had it, but probably because I remember to charge it every night.
