How do you find time to play?

I wonder how everyone find a time to play the game. I mean, BG2 is not a short game, particularly if you try to do all sub quests, and still many of you have completed the game several times. I presume most of you have a day job/study, and how do you manage? I am a research student (after some years in a office, I had enough working), and in one hand I have plenty of time, but in the other I have no time at all (do you understand what I mean?). I cannot sit in front of my computer so long after typing my thesis (125,000 words!!), and my eye sight is getting worse. How about you?

Some of us Hard-croe gamers, as I like to consider myself, do not need much sleep. We have grown up on things like television, games, computors, bokks.... (whoops, scratch that last one, what I am thinking, I don't even know what a book is...) So, we have learned to adapt our psyhology to suit our habits... I hope that helps...

Unfortunately, (well, fortunately for me) I find myself thinking of the game, different strategies, certain battles, etc., nearly all my waking hours. It's not like I don't have a life (I keep telling myself this hoping to believe it), it's just that BG2 seems to be in the background 90% of the time. I must be sick, but it's nice to know there are others out there with my malady.

Time playing is the problem. I hardly seem to have the time to play, anymore. Okay, I get in several hours every few days, but that seems so seldom, it's driving me nuts. I envy those of you with more free time. Wouldn't trade in my life, though. I have a newborn, and he's much better than even BG2. It's close, but he edges out the game. LOL

I concur with Rail. I am afflicted with thoughts of BG2 at work. It doesn't stop me from working but I spend 8/9 hours in front of a VDU and then get home and spend another 5/6 playing BG2. Surprisingly, I do have a girl friend and I don't suffer from withdrawal syptoms when I spend time with her and not my PC - but woe betide her if she interrupts while I'm playing. Actually, I may have converted her into giving BG2 a try (re: earlier thread about 'creating' female gamers out of your partners).

Not enough hours in the day...

Hope everyone spent the holidays wisely...

THE BLEEDING DAY HAS NOT ENOUGH HOURS!!!!

Yup, the G-boy has got it right. And, as Kerra said, sleeping is for the weak. I work afternoon (15.00 - 23.00) so I just leave the wife sleeping, while I wake up 6 or 6.30 in the morning and play like 2 or 3 hours. Not every day, though

I am playing this game 24 days now, with two parties (simultaneusly) and with one party I just left Underdark (they are going for the rush) while the other still does things around Alkathla (chapter 3) - I have to do all those subquests!!!

I believe I should have finished it with both my parties in early February. Maybe, if my wife doesn't kick my butt to hard about leaving her alone for a while
