I was wondering about the effects of the charger on the laptop. The reason I'm asking this is because I've always gamed on console or desktop. I get the general idea of charging the battery past its sage point and essentially lowering the usability of the battery, but considering that the laptop is built as a gamers laptop, is there anything to cater to the fact that we will, most of the time, have it plugged in? Or do some of you guys just "charge, deplete, charge deplete"? I'm just wondering the best way to get use out of it. I don't ever really plan to use the battery much anyway, but I would like to get a couple hours out of it if need be and I'm in a pinch for future use. Thanks, guys.

Don't game on battery, the power draw will kill battery.
When gaming on charger + battery, most likely the battery charging is paused or being charged at a slower rate because power output capability is prioritized for cpu/gpu etc. -

You will do far more damage to your battery by attempting to play games on it rather than keeping everything plugged in. Just remember to use the notebook on the battery every once in a while (every few weeks at the most), drain it to 40-50%, then resume use on AC.
I did this with my old MacBook Pro and after 4 years, it could still get 4-6 hours of battery life.
