How much Quake was THAT?  I ask because, given the right major, one can get 
away with an awful lot of game time.  One of my former roommates, a 
Classics major, had enough free time to play a LOT of Mario Kart.  She had 
enough time to determine which players were better on which racetracks, 
whereas I was not 100% sure how to stay on the road.
So, yeah, if you're an Biology & Electrical Engineering double major or 
something when you first take up Quake, you might have a dearth of gaming 
time, but it seems like you could "solve" that problem by switching to 
Basket Weaving or something equally lightweight.  Presto... game time!
