    Age?: 29 – 36

    Do you have a job?: I did, but quit and now looking elsewhere.

    Has your playing of video games negatively affected your school grades or job performance?: Not at all.

    How long do you play video games every week?: 5 - 15 hours.

    Do you believe that playing video games affects the way people act?: Depends on the person tbh. Some may have used a game for inspiration in their crimes, but it’s not always the case. Unless this wasn't what you meant.

    Playing video games made me (choose the one that most fits): Less stressed, happy.

    Do you play online games?: Sometimes though not as much as I used to do. More so if I have people over to my place.

    Do you feel like gaming helps your eye and hand coordination?: Yes! Especially the racing sims/driving games. I heard FPS's do too. If so then that as well.

    Does your playing video games interfere with your social life?: Not at all.

    All time favorite game?: Halo: CE (that soundtrack is just too good)

    All time favorite Sims Game?: Hmm, tough call. I like each of them in their own way. I know that's not a real answer to the question, but I can't really choose a favorite. I will say Seasons stands out though.

    Age?: 35

    Do you have a job?: Grad Student, does that count.

    Has your playing of video games negatively affected your school grades or job performance?: No. But, I think that I would done more with my life if I wasn't a game addict.

    How long do you play video games every week?: Depends on the week. Some weeks I'm sure I clock 30 hours, and other weeks maybe 5. The average is probably 24 hours.

    Do you believe that playing video games affects the way people act?: No.

    Playing video games made me (choose the one that most fits): calmer, less stressed and happy - all of the above, but also angry or stressed if there's a problem with my game.

    Do you play online games?: Yes, mostly breeding games.

    Do you feel like gaming helps your eye and hand coordination?: No, but I think games like Civ hopes me with strategy and understanding history. Games like the sims help me with interior design and to a small degree life management.

    Does your playing video games interfere with your social life?: Probably, but I've always been a loner. If it wasn't for games I doubt I'd spend so much time in the house. I don't like TV, so, if it were the 80s (before video games got good and the internet) I'd probably hang out at a cafe or something.

    Age?:
    - 26

    Do you have a job?:
    - Not currently, no (contract/freelance work).

    Has your playing of video games negatively affected your school grades or job performance?:
    - Not at all.

    How long do you play video games every week?:
    - Depends on what else I have going on and how much free time I have; it can be anywhere between 8 hours a week up to 8 hours a day.

    Do you believe that playing video games affects the way people act?:
    - I know it's been proven to improve one's reflexes and their ability to notice details and changes in their surroundings - but I doubt that's what you were asking.

    Playing video games made me (choose the one that most fits):
    - Only one out of the list provided? Happy.

    Do you play online games?:
    - No.

    Do you feel like gaming helps your eye and hand coordination?:
    - Yes, but this is really dependant on the kinds of games being played. Sims likely wouldn't have much of an impact, but playing an FPS would.

    Does your playing video games interfere with your social life?:
    - Not in the slightest.

    All time favorite game?:
    - Mass Effect trilogy or the Neverwinter Nights games - both for the PC.

    Age: I am an adult

    Do you have a job?: Yes, home buisness

    Has your playing of video games negatively affected your school grades or job performance?: No

    How long do you play video games every week?: I rarely play video games 1-2 hours, computer games I play a lot more 5-8 hours

    Do you believe that playing video games affects the way people act?: Some people yes, it depends. I have nephews who are allowed to play them whenever they want to. They even bring them to family reunions. The youngest throws tantrums over it. He is very addicted to them.

    Playing video games made me (choose the one that most fits): Some made me frustrated because I couldn't finish a puzzle, sims 2 made me cry once when my favorite sim died. Most of the time I'm happy.

    Do you play online games?: I use to, but then they got too expensive, and the free ones are usually free to play ..meaning if you don't pay for cash shop items your character isn't going anywhere.

    Do you feel like gaming helps your eye and hand coordination?: Not really. Staring at the screen for too long actually hurts my eyes. I always take breaks.

    Does your playing video games interfere with your social life?: No, real life is more important to me then a game.

    All time favorite Sims Game?: Sims 2 Makin Magic.
