I use to get pissed off by dying and getting frustrated, but I don't care anymore. Fallout 3 i've died a few times and the same thing with Team Fortress. The only time i probobly get pissed are immature people online, but i fix that by switching servers.

Recently i've been distracted by programming and soldering curcuit boards, so in the past few weeks my free time i rarely play video games.
Pretty much the same here. Gaming is filler for me, just entertainment. I'm not driven by the games I play (like many people I know) nor do I typically lose sleep over them but I do play a lot. If other things come up I won't miss playing at all and go weeks sometimes without even thinking about sitting down to play. Of course on the flip side if I have a slow weekend and don't feel like doing anything around the house I can easily put in 20+ hours of gaming.

I'm totally casual.. I've got lots going on but if I get into the groove with a friend or my kid, lol, I can turn hardcore.

During the weekdays I usually spend 4hrs a day online. On the weekends it will easily hit 10-12hrs.

In the summer this is a different story.

I am barely on during the summer
