What do you spend more time on: video games, or Giant Bomb?

Lately, for me, it's about 50/50. I usually spend 2-3 hours a day on both.

I dont spend a massive amount of time here, but i try to keep up. I usually spend an hour a day on here and maybe 3 hours on xbox late at night.

I remember when it was Giant Bomb for a while, now it's Berkeley. I hate you college, why can't you just leave me to my first true love... Brad's voice.

Depends on how much content GB puts up in a given time period. I purchase very few games but I am interested in seeing them all being played. Lots of QL's can realty eat up my free time.

well in general video games. It's going to get crazy with the intersection of the end of star wars galaxies with the chrono trigger endurance run, and whatever other crazy quicklooks they might have in the next week or so. Thank god this semester is over, giantbomb total saturation imminent.

Giant Bomb because (while not illegal in Michigan) gaming while driving is highly frowned upon. Listening to podcasts/ and quick looks while driving is slightly less conspicuous.

I tend to watch some GB videos while I'm playing games, as long as they're not too story focused.

Video games, and if I'm not playing them and still happen to be on my computer ill be here.

Probably Giant Bomb... I haven't actually really played a game in years... I feel kind of burned out and no game has really got me back into it.

Definitely Giant Bomb. I always have some podcast or video from the site running when I'm studying or cleaning up around here.

Giant Bomb. I barely play games anymore.

Honestly, I have found myself spending more time with GiantBomb. It seems to just scratch that videogame itch. There's some game experiences I can't get with GiantBomb content, but then, there's a lot that I -can- get from the content.

I think it goes back to my comfort of playing or watching games with my brother when I was a young lad. While playing the game itself is important, there's also a nice feeling from watching someone else enjoy it and share their experience. With the personalities here at GiantBomb, it just feels like I'm watching family members play, and it's great stress relief. GiantBomb has been a fantastic blessing to me, and while it's definitely odd that GiantBomb has somewhat supplanted much of my videogaming experience, it has also expanded my experience to a wider range of games and some insights, comedy, and simple joy I would have never experienced without this amazing crew.

GiantBomb, I have the audio running when I'm doing work and like others have said it's a way to get my game fix when I don't have time to game which unfortunately is most days now.

Giant Bomb.

About a 1 to 4 ratio, actually.

Giant Bomb. I think I reached a point which I have that many games to play (and long ones) I get scared to play them, so I play games like Fractal, Rochard, Edge, Jamestown. Which don't take much of my time.

By the way, the games I have to play are Skyrim (already 40/50 hours in, but god knows how much more I'll spend), Arkham City, AC Revelations, Saints Row: The Third. That's, by my estimations, +100h of game time.

Easily Giant Bomb.

Having a couple of games, particularly long ones can be absolutely crippling in terms of actually getting round to playing them. its the reason I have left Skyrim for around two weeks. Yeah, its easier to talk about games endlessly than to play them.

Getting better though, Christmas break is the time to get things done!

Giant Bomb, sadly.

Games no doubt. Have barely finished any QL's lately and not interested in ER at all.

I watch people play video games more than I do.

Real Life, Video Games, Facebook, Twitter, Google then Giant Bomb.  

before the big fall rush fo games i spent more time on GB, but lately now that i have games to play its been alot of games.

I've been browsing GB at work lately, so my GB to games ratio is probably around 1:3 or even 1:2 if it's a particularly slow day at the office.

Why would I play video games when I can pay other people to play them for me?

If you spend more time on GIantbomb.

Then hopefully it is because you are too busy to play games.

If not, then I feel a bit sad...

Playing video games, as I only browse the internet when I'm waiting for something to finish at work. I sometimes do it at home, but that's on rare days when for some reason I just don't feel like playing anything and just veg out and stalk forums.

Its funny, i hardly play games anymore, but always on video game related sites

I always have found game discussion more interesting than the games themselves with a few very specific examples.

Also, I spend a bunch of time watching comedy/personality based videos and posting in off-topic because I just like this community.

Games with a 90-10 ratio.

I've been slacking massively with both due to finals and work.

I left my 360 home when I moved across the country for Grad School (not bragging, its shows my terrible decisions) so Giant Bomb scratches that itch when I need a break from studying Terrorism Theory and Defence Economics.

giant bomb.... :/

Probably Giant Bomb. Been thinking about that a lot lately. It's kind of a weird thing.

Giant Bomb, actually. I'd not thought about this before.

This is what I do - especially when playing Madden or FIFA.

Sadly Giant Bomb. Not sad, because Giant Bomb is awesome, but sad because I probably should be spending more time actually playing video games than watching other people play/talk about games.

Well I would love to be playing Skyrim quite a lot, but school has interfered (only 65 or so hours). So instead, I'll sit here trying to study but end up browsing the content and forums more than I should.

Where would you allocate it if you're doing both at the same time? I tend to watch quick looks while I'm playing something on my xbox about 2 feet over... So I guess it would be a 50/50 split?

Finals first, then Giant Bomb, then video games.

Furious masturbation.

On Giant Bomb.

I probably spend more time on Giant Bomb, but most of it is spent passively. It's not really a fair comparison.

Overall more on Giant Bomb, with work and a life I spend more time taking in content here than I do actually playing most games. Bombcast for instance is something I never miss and sometimes will not even play a game every week. Obviously I get more gaming in during heavy release season but it dies down quickly.

Videos have been kinda mehh as of late, seem more like forced content rather than entertainment value.

More goofed shit yo.

@EVO: Using a complicated set of pulley systems surgically implanted inside my head I can turn one eye cock-eyed so I can watch the two at the same time...

...In actuality, my set up is that I have the computer on the left, and the tv on the right, so I can sit in my computer chair and see the tv and monitor from the same chair! It's great for long loading screens and annoying unskip-able cutscenes I've seen before :P

Giant Bomb, but mainly because I'm at the university (working or in class) most of the time. I can browse GB, but I can't play games there.

Games. I usually only watch quick looks and read the reviews I am interested in

I spend way too much time lurking the forums during the day and play my 360 during the evening.

Well while I'm on my computer which is most of my free time, I'm always watching some giant bomb video. I probably only play an hour or two a day at most, though skyrim has been an exception to that rule lately.

So I spend far more time on Giant Bomb.

Cheater >:(

Lately with well over a hundred hours in Skyrim ( I think I'm around 125?) and that number would be way higher if not for all the patch crap, a bunch of Killing Floor with the guys, Some TF2, and little random spurts of whatever I feel like, it's been a whole shit ton of video games here.

Your mom!
