Haha relax boys, having kids is not the end of gaming. I'm a father of 3 girls. 5, 3 and my latest one is 2 months old and I still play game. It's all about how sneaky you are to steal some gaming time hahahaha. On a serious note, it's all about good time management as well as financial. No more buying on impulse on every new games unless you are sure you are going to play it, why buy at full price when at the end of the day you still end up spending more time playing Dota or worse clash or clan

^ true dat... im also father of 3 (2 boys, 1 girl) 4, 3 and latest one is 3 months old. still active in gaming... married and kids is not the end of your gaming era... what soul_fly9900 said is true... yang penting adalah time management... if you cant manage your time then bye bye games lol. i started using steam after married... doesnt stop me from buying n play games... now i already have more than 400 games... but my total gameplay time of my library is only 1000 plus hours only lol... 1892 hours to be exact... compared to my friends mostly single or baru kawin <1 years old they have less games than me but their total gameplay time average over 4000 hours gameplay time. |

I have 1 son(9 years) and 2 daughters (7 years and 1 years). I stop playing competitively. I only play cooperative games. Usually, after my kids go to bed at 930, I play games with my wife. We play a lot of games. Trying to find the games that both of us enjoy. Games that can feed us our much needed adrenaline rush. Games that requires us to truly work together to survive. A lot of games that we try are doozy, boring and both of us cant stand playing it for a period of time.
Here are the list of games that i remember having fond memories 1. Call of duty zombies. We play every call of duty that has zombie mode. EVERY. 2. Call of duty survival mode. MW3, Ghost, AW have survival modes. 3. Dungeon defenders 4. Orcs must die 5. Starcraft 2 |

Necro-ed.
Choice of games have definitely changed over the years, currently I find Hearthstone suitable to juggle around family time. |

It's ok o necro this post once in a while. Looking back to my original post here:
QUOTE(frags @ Feb 3 2015, 05:06 PM) I'm a dad. My son is going to be 4 months old soon. Yes... he wants lots of attention, but I do my gaming at night. I get my time when he's sleeping or my wife is with him. It's even more difficult for me since I actually run a video game blog and I have a tonne of games to play for review. Well my son is 4 and he has a 1 year old sister now. I'm still writing about games and have even less time I try my best to get in one hour a day, of games I'm reviewing and weekends I play longer. But I always have time for my son. So much so, my wife thinks I'm spoiling him by carrying him too much or playing with him too much Also... congratulations Deimos |
