      Interesting facts:

      The average age of gamers are 31.
      52% of gamers are male and 48% are female.

      That's older, and more even, than I thought. Link

      @DanielJP I decided to follow you and go for shiny new things, got a PS4 a few weeks ago.

      Mainly wanted it for Watchdogs, been playing it massively for the last week as I've had a cold. Also got infamous but haven't played that yet.

      @Steve haha sounds great. How is Watchdogs? I read it sold 4 million since release. Crazy. If it's good I might buy it too!

      Really enjoyed it, it's a good game. Not quite amazing but the gameplay is nicely different (not a million miles from GTA5), when they do a sequel and learn from feedback I think it'll be awesome. I've completed it and got all but one irritating bronze trophy. The online hacking is fun too.

      I started playing the Killzone games a few days ago. Since those games are about non-stop action and explosions I get so immersed in them that my T becomes negligable if not absent. For once in my life I can honestly say that playing videogames is therapeutic.

      Just found my old warcraft III frozen throne. Queen of Sheep tag reporting in, unfortunately there are none of those left, though TDs and mauls are ultimate therapy! Let me know if anyone is playing

      Long time since I bought a new game so I had great expectations when buying the new Dragonage. Anyone tried it?
      If you like rpg and questing it's quite decent. I forgot I didn't lol.

      My wife is replaying 1 and 2 because you can port over chatacter and NPC historys and that will change and customize the game events and outcome. But as for me, quests and involved storylines aren't too much fun, or even doable...too much dyslexia and adult A.D.D. makes that a no-go.
      I much prefer ARPGs and rogue-like games, action and tension beat a long and boring story as far as I'm concerned.

      That does sound pretty cool actually, I didn't play the prequels but I'd definitely recommend her the third.
      I second that, too much patience is needed andb eing taught how to craft an armour, potions and collect ingredients for the 100th time is a bit too much. :p
      A girl once told me she had read all quests she had done, in WoW.. Quite breathtaking, takes me back to the times I collected dung in Nagrand lol, what an epic quest.

      I'm looking forward to Blizzard's Overwatch game, it seems easily accessible and pretty action packed <:

      I play games, mostly company of heroes 2 or men of war 2, I completely forget about T when playing but the adrenaline rush can come back to bite me in the ass afterwards lol.

      Great distraction from the T.

      @Kopesy how is eos online? I thought it had died like other mmos. It was quite exciting back when playing the beta I just think it lacked the skyrim feel in order to be perfect

      Much better since beta, really didn't like it when I played it either, some good patches & updates fixed a lot of things for me. A new patch is out soon that's going to revamp quite a bit of stuff like end game leveling & the ability to steal from npcs & have guards players hunt you down for a bounty, seems great for RP elements that it was lacking :D

      Neuronmodulation suggests noise induced?

      It's true while i'm lying down here now i have ambient noise but it still doesn't mask my T completely.
      The moment i start playing it subsides to the background,it's actually funny how people always said gaming
      isn't helping you and it's pointless.Well,it really isn't now and keeps me occupied trough the worst part of the day.
