26 years old - Probably play 1-2 hours weekdays. I work an overnight shift, so Sunday night (off night) I am transitioning back to the night hours so when the wife goes to bed, I usually play something from midnight-6am or so. Maybe I will finish Dragon Age in under 2 months!
@nixium: I feel the same way. I have a lot of downtime at work so I have plenty of time to listen to gaming podcasts or read about games. However, I don't have a ton of time to play them on my own. However, money left over after the bills are paid still seems to all go towards games.
It's not too bad. You die once, your souls are left in a bloodstain at the point you died. If you die again on your way back to the bloodstain, you leave a new bloodstain and the first is lost. in the first 5 hours of playing the game this has only happened to me one time. I died probably 15-20 times, but was always able to get to my bloodstain because I now knew where the enemies were, and was patient in dispatching them.
That said, I have only finished 1-1, 1-2, and 2-1, so if the difficulty ramps up sharply in the near future, I wouldn't know yet.
Edit: Also, when I was on my way back to my body, killing all the enemies again- you get their souls again. So, getting to your bloodstain is like doing the content to that point 2x. Occasionally, I would get to my bloodstain for the 5th time, have racked up thousands of souls from the beginning of the stage, and opt to just go to the Nexus and spend them upgrading my character. Then I'd go back in, having a ton of personal experience with the level now, and I could get to the point that I kept dying at really, really fast.
