^ha 30 days? Freaking newb.

WoW(203 days 17 hours aka 4889 hours )*>>>UT04/CounterStrike Source>Mechwarrior 4

*This is just the 8 toons I have leveled and still have,I made many other toons which I leveled and deleted.

Heh, yea.

I really only played enough to get to 80 (never really did any raiding), and that was about it. I leveled another toon up to 65 or so, then got bored.

So yea, I'm happy I limited my wow binges, but at the same time, it's still a lot of hours.

Diablo II + Lord of Destruction

I have "invested" nearly eight years playing it, as surprising as it may seem.

if any of those wow numbers are representative of what most people have logged then i'm ashamed to even post mine, lol. i am at work now but once i get home i will definitely post my played time in just wow. i will screenshot them as proof b/c yes, it's outrageous. other than that, i have a short list of games that i've spent any considerable amount of time in. i'll only list the ones i have hundreds of hours played in including replays.

counterstrike (since 1.3)
FFVII
Ocarina of Time + Majora's Mask
Gran Turismo 3
GTA 3 (pc and ps2 versions)
Dungeon Siege - i fell in love with this game and played it constantly
Super Mario RPG

There are other games that i would have loved to spend hours and hours of my life playing and there are those that i have spent countless hours playing, but i limited myself to playing the same games over and over for some reason. i know that's an odd list but those are the games i have spent the most time in with wow definitely being the longest haul of them all.

- Counter-Strike, TFC, other HL1 mods (since 1999)
- UT2004
- Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2

I played CS basically everyday from like 1999 to 2004. And to think, it only cost $45 at the time.

I've been through several accounts and toons in WoW, so I have no way to add up my playtime. This current account has 47 days, but it's probably between 1.5-2 years old. Not much raiding at all on this account, just leveling and screwing around...4 80s and various alts.

If I had to guess, it's almost definitely over 200 days. Probably 250. Maybe 300.

Steam says I've played TF2 95 hours, but I suspect it's more.

All time would definitely be Asheron's Call. I played that game an absolutely ungodly amount of time... I almost want to resub just to see how much time I actually played.

WOW was a lot too

How the fuck could you do 1700+ hours in Fallout 3?!?!?! The content ended after 40 hours!

There were what, 5 DLC packs after that? Then you have replaying the game multiple times because there are several big choices that change how the game turns out. Then there's different character builds as well... focusing on one weapon type vs. the other, stuff like that.

That accounts for 200 hours.. not 1700 lol

Definitely WoW...

Account 1: 339 days
Account 2: 214 days
Account 3: 69 days

In my defense, I didn't log onto WoW for a week before logging on to get those numbers .

Unequivocally, without a semblance of a doubt, Killer Instinct 2 at the arcade.

Won the local tournament and owned fools every time I played. Loved the 80+ hit Ultra combos and of course, Orchid, with her tig-ol'-bitties gave me a hard on! :awe:

Maybe for you (and me as well, I have 80 hours or so in it w/ 2 DLC packs), but others REALLY get into this game. My buddy got 100 hours just out of the vanilla version, then got another good chunk out of 2 DLC packs. This was just with one playthrough as well, so if he did the same thing but made all the opposite decisions he would have doubled his game time. Some people just really intensely get into these free roam games. I'm not saying it's the norm in any way, but I can see it.

But she had those weirdly shaped cylinder titties .

I hated Orchid, because my brother always played her and I played Cinder... he was nice because if I remember correctly, he has an easy C-c-combo Breaker! Although, I think Spinal's was the easiest to execute.

Diablo 2 no contest. My friends and I still break it out at least twice a year for a run through all 3 difficulties with a new party.
