I have pull the occasional 18 hours of LAN Partying or LEECH Partying.
How ever at most leech parties, you will most likely find me sitting by my computer with a big pile of role play game books writing up notes for my next session, or you will see me hogging the TV as I broaght the PS2 along. Leech Parties (as rewarding as they are) are boring.
Privately, I think i spend on average about 3 hours per day online. This also includes spare time I spend at work doing a little private surfing either during lunch or right at the end of the day.
However, I will pull off the occasional 3-Days-Straight-No-Sleeping-Role-Play-Game-Sessions. That happens about 3 times per year.
But over all, since my prefession involves ccomputers, I do like to spend as much time away from them as I do infront of them. It give me break, and it help me balance my Feng Shui.
Beleive it or not, I do wood work from time to time as I have all ready made a dining table that has been valued at about $5000, and another coffee table that has been custom for my needs a Role Play Gamer.
Ikea does not make coffee tables that will suit up to 6 players with room for books, dice,GMs screens and a few boxes of pizza.

To each his/her own. I think that people that spend way too much time in from of the computer begin to lose a sense of reality.
A flatmate I had a few years ago was like that. First of all, there is the lack of attension that he had. Then came the lack of periferal vision. Since he was playing FPS games all the time, he never trained himself to pay attension to what is in the corner of his eye. You could stick your fingure up at him, pull faces and more, and he would not see it. This also made his a VERY DANGEROUS driver.
Unfortunatly for him, he was involved in a car accident late last year, and since then he as not reganded conscience yet. Myself and my other flatmate are putting the blame on the fact that he next to no periferal vision.
