For me it was Mario 64. I played that like 12 hours at a time Apparently 22 South Koreans have died from exhaustion and dehydration play stuff like wow for days. Pretty crazy

almost every game I get my hands on i don't stop playing till i have 50+hours logged.

the halo series, elder scrolls, call of duty(all of them) and fallout took me in for longer. I have trouble with spacing out the game, if i start it i need it to be done

RuneScape and Halo 3. Runescape was a lot worse. I would think about it every waking hour and many sleeping. I would sit in class with a pad of paper and think of the shit I would do when I got home. It was baad.

Then with Halo 3 I would literally play all weekend long. But that was when I lived in Florida and had nothing better to do.

world of warcraft. i played the motherfucking shit out of that game for years. thank god i grew up before i pissed my entire life away. the sad part is, when you "accomplish" shit in that game, you feel so fucking awesome. but now, what is all that i did. nothing. it's just thousands of wasted hours. guhhhh.

yep. i got a grand for mine. guess thats what happens when you're a 2x gladiator with achievements and gear that isnt even in the game anymore. nerds will pay so much to be able to show off, even if they didn't accomplish it themselves.

rogue4lyfe. still miss it sometimes, but i had to get back to the real world. two years clean or so.

Between 6 and 3 and a half years ago GTA San Andreas, the freedom you had was just incomparable... It ended once I installed shittons of mods and then broke my laptop and got a Mac. Now it's by far CoD 4, I've been having holidays for 3 and a half months now and it's so addicting, plus I think it's the best CoD so far, even though I don't own any other. The maps and the weapons are just so well balanced. And guess what I'm doing right now at 4:22 AM here. Yep.

Same shit bro

Would probably relapse if it wasn't for the 0 free time college allows me. Hit glad in S8 and would've been glad in S7, but that's a different story.

Best in the world at the comp we played. Come@me, bro. /claim.


You did the smart thing by selling it though. I never got around to it.

So much time spent on that game literally sitting outside Stormwind. Just. Sitting. There.
