for me in northern canada, we have harsh winters, and most of my friends live like a half hour walk away, and its hell in the cold, so in the winter i usually play rs and talk to them on msn during weeknights. on weekends i usually go skidooing, or skiing, and barely play rs at all on weekends. in summer, barely ever play rs cause we can bike to eachothers houses (or i could if my bike wasn't stolen)
