How can I estimate the amount of time I've spent playing video games my whole life?

Hello, my name is Nathan, and I LOVE video games. I'm sure every kid says that, but I say it with meaning, and heart. I'm turning 16, and I was going to ask my parents for some cool video games for my birthday. They said, "What happened to all those video games you've played?" Well, I've beaten them all, they've released new series, and so on. I was bored this weekend and made a list. A list of every video game I have ever played. I played my first video game in December of 1998, the Gameboy Advance, ever since then, video games are everything to me. According to my list, I have played a total of 480 video games. Below is a list of 150 games... but what I really want to know is, is there any way to estimate how much time of my life I have spent playing video games, and what my life would be like if I never touched one? SERIOUS ANSWERS PLEASE. I put a lot of time and effort into this personal project. Thank you.

So to find out how much approx in hours



Find out how much you play per day on average. Then multiply this by 365. This value you get is approximately how much you play per year. Then multiply the value by 12, assuming you started on December 1998 and have been playing for 12 years. That should give you a rough value of how much you played.
