Yes, also like to figure stuff out.. like finding the easiest way to beat the AI.

2. How long have you been playing online?
1st game I played online was sc1.. around the time it came out played it once or twice
big gap.....
Team Fortress 2 about two years ago

3. Do you get tired of the online community and their constant moaning?
Everyone moans constantly irl too... "its too hot", "my job sucks". At least moaning about a game is more interesting

Till I go blind from square eyes. Online was great when I got broadband, but the novelty wears off, Also not very relaxing. I`d rather play a relaxing game of slowly building something, or shooting AI characters in the head.

This might as well be my first post :D

1. Why do you game (as a hobby? pastime? boredom?)
Started gaming last year out of boredom. Ever since then been hooked.
2. How long have you been playing online?
Since Bad Company 2 was released, thought an online game might help me quit smoking. Take my mind off it and all that. It worked for awhile.
3. Do you get tired of the online community and their constant moaning?
I guess, sometimes it's quite funny though.
4. How long will you still game online/offline?
Until I cant afford to anymore.

Glad you guys can remember what you did when you were three. I can't even remember what I had for breakfast.
 
1. Why do you game?

Because if I didn't I'd probably end up coming to work with a crossbow stalking quietly from office to office as I despatch annoying co-workers.

Not a fan of online gaming any more.

1. Why do you game (as a hobby? pastime? boredom?)

Loads of fun. Better than watching movies. Make some good friends. Stress relief and an escape.

2. How long have you been playing online?

About 6 years online. Been gaming since I can remember, pretty much all my life. I wouldn't be surprised if I was gaming already the day I was born :p

3. Do you get tired of the online community and their constant moaning?

Yes. Also, a lot of cheating online-mostly kids, but some sad older people also do it. People also tend to think that their opinions are made of gold and the elitists p*** me off more than anything else in life. It's like someone coming to take a dump on the thing you have enjoyed your whole life. But other than that, making good friends and meeting them "in real" life is awesome. There nothing quite like meeting a bunch of good okes online and gaming with them.

4. How long will you still game online/offline?

Until I cannot see anymore or lose my motor functions.

5. How old are you?

Just barely hanging on to 24 :D
 
Because a) I have a need to fill the emptiness inside me and b) I am a loser and a sociophobe and prefer staying indoors.
 
1. Why do you game (as a hobby? pastime? boredom?)
Hobby; stress relief; social aspect; confession... escapism (sometimes RL is kak..)

2. How long have you been playing online?
6 years.

3. Do you get tired of the online community and their constant moaning?
At times, but moaning is something that exists in any walk of life or any community.

4. How long will you still game online/offline?
As long as I want. Its my hobby :D

1. Why do you game (as a hobby? pastime? boredom?)
hobby, it's fun, it's a distraction, challenging, interesting, interactive, it beats the hell outta sitting at a pub drinking

2. How long have you been playing online?
playing games since commodore 64, probably like 10 (I think), my first lan session was back with original Unreal Tournamanent, and started playing online... um... shizzsticks, I can't remember. I know guildwars was my first mmo.

3. Do you get tired of the online community and their constant moaning?
Not really, I get tired of know it alls and people who can take all the fun out of a game.

4. How long will you still game online/offline?
hopefully till a ripe old age, I would like to think I will always come back to playing games, even though I know as I get older it will become a lot more casual and infrequent.

5. How old are you?
27 (turning 28 in like a month)
