Longest frame of time you havent played any videogames?

I went 3 weeks, got an incoming semester end examination session. Then out of boredom I downloaded and began playing the first Splinter Cell game today.

Sigh

My examination result is gonna get fucked up, but on the plus side the game is really amazing!

Déjà vu

It looks like someone needs some coffee!

Couple weeks at most , when i was working on a construction site in the middle of fucking nowhere .
Back then was still going on site for work .
When we finally got stable power supply and internet i was raiding on the roof of the hotel we ware making :D

Nowadays i play something daily be it on pc or the phone or the tablet or the psp ... gotta kill time somehow :P

wasnt there such a topic few days ago btw :)

In the past, I was so burned out on games that I stopped playing them altogether for a few months.

Now I spend more time on reading and other hobbies so that I don't get to that point again

I played a lot of video games throughout my primary and high school. C64, then a DOS PC, Windows 98. Around 2002 when I started university (age 19), I got somewhat fed up with gaming. In 2003 I met a new friend at the university. He was a hardcore gamer. We commuted together and every day he was telling me stories about Deus Ex, Divine Divinity, Dungeon Siege, Gears of War, Oblivion and the Witcher. I was like "Sounds cool, but I don't game anymore".

It took me until around 2011 (age 28) when I got Mount and Blade from Bundlestars to get into gaming again. I loved Mount and Blade. Since then I completed Witcher and Deus Ex. The friend died in a freak accident in 2008, so I was never able to share gaming enthusiasm with him.

So. The longest for me: around 9 years ;-)
(There may have been some Nintendo Wii Tennis at some friends' parties, but it doesn't count).

More than a month, GPU died and had to wait for an RMA.
That month I learned you can almost die of boredom. I was without my PC at all.

No one to talk to, no manga to read, no crunchyroll or netflix, no games, etc.

I play games everyday lol, but I try to limit myself to 1-2 hours top. When I'm on vacation of course no gaming, so I voted few days.

A couple of month or more. Computer was dead and I didn't have the money to buy the necessary components.
I did play flash games online a few times with a craptop during that time though.

Hm, recently I guess when I developed strong depressions and before I was put on meds which could be few weeks of just lying in bed. That was 10 years ago tho and since then... Dunno, probably two-three days at most. I don't overdo it and have few games in progress at a time and play a little bit each day. I think base Witcher 3 lasted me for 4 months that way.

But there were few years after our DOS computer died and before we got a Win98 machine when I had no computer or game device of any kind. I spent those playing with others outside and doing various stuff that looking back was dangerous like hell and I'm baffled how I'm still alive.

Before I got this PC I haven't played videogames in a few years. The last platform I played videogames on was the Xbox 360 and during my apprenticeship I lost interest as I had other things to do or worry about. Then about two years ago I got this PC and now I'm playing regularly again.
