Over Half UK Sick Days Spent Gaming - Voodoo Extreme

Makes me proud to be British, we rock!

 

[ST^]

How did they get "over half" from that?

 

[Ezteq]

rofl tbh when I played DAoC the number of sick days I took was phenominal...then I actually did get sick and was signed off for a few years so it was even higher lol.

It doesn't matter how, just accept the fact that you are a slack bastard and move on.

Personally I have probably logged up a couple of months of sickies over the last decade just to play the latest and greatest games, that is still alot less damage than Gordon Brown has done to the economy though.

rofl maybe he's been playing mmorpgs!

Hmm, well most of my days off sick are spent gaming, only because its one of my hobbies, daytime TV is even more dire than evening TV too.

Quite.

1. To play videogames - 24%

I have to remember this if i ever have to give someone in the UK half of anything

Wonder if ppl who works in the videogame industry spend theyr "sick days" doing jobs.... /brain crashes

Nowt wrong with a few emain runs when your ill and holed up in bed with the laptop laying on your chest.

I remember when i was so ill that i could not even game, it was the worst kind of illness, the one that effects your /stats

Friend of mine was signed off sick with vertigo all he could do was read if he watched tv even laying down his body would try to fall over and he would puke so forget games. Short of going blind i fear that illness the most.

Yea I doubt they considered a difference between;

Off work ill and playing games and Staying off work to play games, everytime I'm off work I'll play some games, but I doubt many people call in sick just so they can ding rr5

I had that inner ear problem once for about 6 hours, I was totally and utterly fucked, it scarred me silly.

Your failure to capitalise the letter 'I' proves that you speak the truth dear boy!

Yes, "you failure to capitalise" is the correct spelling indeed

I busted my knee up and could not drive for 8 weeks so worked from home. 90% of that time was spent playing DAOC.

If I am ill, I am usually Gaming, I know I should be in bed resting but I am instead sat on my computer chair wrapped in my duvet with Lemsip on the desk, catching up on a few games.
