Questionnaire for gamers.

[Deleted]

Hi, I'm need you guys to answer 6 questions that I will be asking, that's if you can. This is for my coursework and I need "gamers" opinions on how games effect us. Thanks for your time.

How many games do you play?
1-3 / 3-6 / 6-10 / 10+

How many hours per day do you play games for?
1-3 / 3-6 / 6-10 / 10+

If you loose in a game, how does it make you feel?
Really angry / Annoyed / Not that bothered

How many hours per day do you sleep?
1-5 / 5-8 / 8+

Do you think gaming has effect you in any sort of way, such as wanting to try moves on people from in game actions?
Yes / Only as a joke / Not at all

If a kid is 15 years of age and is playing a game that is 18+, and he tries the actions from that game on a other kid, who is the blame here?
The kid / His parents / Other kids fault

1) 1-3 (WoW and Call of Duty)
2) Anywhere from 1-10+
3) I don't get mad for loosing if I'm beaten legitemately, well in fact I don't get mad if I lose. I get annoyed if I lose to bad ping though, which unfortunetely is happening a lot recently, emptying a whole mag into someones stomach standing still and them then killing me in two bullets before mine are registered just isn't FUN.
4) 7 as a minimum but 8-9 if I can - I also go to school for at least 6 hours a day
5) if by moves you mean "hitting on them", then no. when I game I play -game- it's for fun and it's in the virtual world, if I want to hit on people I'll do that in the real world.
6) The kid. 18+ games are bullshit and the same goes for movies. It's always the person who does it who did the mistake. HOWEVER if a child/kid shows signs of violent behavior or anything like that the parents are at fault if it escalates without treatment/help to the kid.

PS: I'm 17 (18 in 2 weeks) if that helps your "survey"

[Jewster925]

1) 3-6 games

2) On average 3-6, but more accurately I'd say 2-4.

3) Not that bothered

4) 5-8

5) In that specific example? Not at all. Has it influenced my choice of conversations and common interests? Yes

6) The kid's fault. At 15, you have developed a sense of right/wrong. I played Mortal Kombat when I was a little kid when it first came out, did I try doing any Fatalities? NOPE!

[Evil Inside]

1. 10+ way too many to list.

4. 5-10+ again depends on the day.

5. No, not really.

6. His parents, for buying him that game in the first place, and partly the kid for even doing said things.

[Sinshroud]

How many games do you play?
2

How many hours per day do you play games for?
3-6.

If you loose in a game, how does it make you feel?
I can deal with loosing. At the worst a bit frustrated and as soon as that happens I just get up and walk away, do something else.

How many hours per day do you sleep?
8+ (I'm very strict about my sleeping due to health/fitness/bodybuilding goals).

Do you think gaming has effect you in any sort of way, such as wanting to try moves on people from in game actions?
Wanting to hearthstone out of traffic on the way home? Yes.
Needing to think twice after passing a bush of flowers shortly after Skyrim release? Yes.
Hurting someone or anything like that? No. Honestly something like wrestling or even kung-fu movies are more likely to have an impact on someone's actions than a video game.

If a kid is 15 years of age and is playing a game that is 18+, and he tries the actions from that game on a other kid, who is the blame here?
Regardless of what some people think, 15 years old is more than mature enough to have common sense and be responsible for your actions.
The kid should be held responsible and the parents should be held responsible for negligence towards the age rating.

The kid (he is old enough to know right from wrong at this point, and should not have to be supervised by his parents...)
