As a film sound designer I watch a lot of films (eg the International NZ Film Festival is about to start & my festival average is usually 25 films in 3 weeks) - its partly because I love cinema but its also partly vocational/professional: I want to experience as many forms of film making & story telling as possible, from every culture...

Does the same apply to you game sound designers? Do you spend all your spare time playing games? How many hours a week do you play games? Do you buy every platform as its released and check out all the new games as they are released?
