Yep. Virtual crack. I can't compete with 6000 hours but I played CS consistently for 5 years. So maybe around 2500-3000 hours of gameplay.
Perfect Dark for the N64 - about 4 times.
Which was crazy becuase I had ADD back then with games. I could never play one fo rvery long.
Longest I have played a game would be WoW, yes.... I was suckered into that crack for awhile. I'm still pissed at myself that I lost so much of my life on that silly game. I'm just so lucky to have a very forgiving wife. lol

I started in 1999. Played consistently every day until mid 2007. Literally at least 2-3 hours every day.
There were times in college I would get days off and play for 50+ hours straight. No sleep, just eating here and there. Night turns to day turns to night and you don't even realize it.
I'm not even bragging. It's sad that I spent so much time on a game. But that's how good that damn game is.
damn dude even mmo addicts feel bad for you
Goldeneye on N64 definitely.
Super Mario Brothers 1 & 3, Super Mario World, and Simon's Quest are probably the only games I have beaten more than twice.
For me it's probably Fallout 2... and Fallout 1 also. I also played through MDK 2 at least twice.
Crap. I forgot Ninja Turtles, which I beat a few times at the arcade and a few dozen on MAME.
I was the same way and knew a LOT of dudes who did that. Not 50 hours maybe, but I'd play for 20-24 hours straight and would have team members who did the same . I still crack out on CS for like 8 straight hours every now and then.
CAL+CS makes people crazy.
Nah dude. I know several WoW players that literally put 6-7 hours EVERY DAY on their character. They come home from work/school, log on, and don't log off until they're ready to go to sleep.
2-3 hours a day is an unhealthy addiction. When you literally have 6 different level 80 characters that each have a month of real life game time on it, that's something far worse. One of my good friends lost his entire social life and almost his job (making $150,000) to WoW, and his sister pissed away a scholarship to a top 50 university because she can't stop playing it. I bet they have l33t gear though.
Even at the height of my CS gaming, I was still in shape, took care of myself, had an active social life, and got good grades in school. That doesn't make it less sad that I poured so much time into a game, but I realized that there were other aspects of my life that always took precedence. It really is like a drug though. Firing up my XPS 2 after class, loading the Counterstrike screen... that was absolutely getting high. Crazy.

Totally... and MMO's are so much worse because of the social aspect of it. When I was organizing 40 man raids in WoW and doing research how to beat bosses I was literally in charge of 50 people (10 standby's) 2 or 3 nights a week.
You can't answer the phone, answer the door, go out to dinner or do anything else but organize those people when you are playing that game and it is absolute heaven when everything goes right and you beat a boss or sweep a dungeon... but how much downtime? You sit there for hours waiting on 3 people to log in...
I'm glad those days are gone... but I get nostalgic about being able to play...
Funny how that works.
My friend (who was the top DPS player on the server in one of the best groups) echoes your sentiment. He put so much time into his character that it was a relief to him to stop playing and not have to worry about it.
I played WoW for about 3-4 months. I quit because I realized it felt like homework (man I am behind on grinding on my second/third character, or I have to do this raid tonight) and I wasn't playing ANY other games apart from WoW. I actually felt guilty when I was playing a different game, because it was time I could have spent leveling my characters or getting better gear. To me, that's the an hesis of what a game should be about.
I'm loving League of Legends. It's like World of Warcraft Lite, for free, with all of the grinding removed. Just ridiculously fun, compe ive PvP. And you can play a full game in 45 minutes and then go do something else.
Speaking of CS, here's one for you Havoc
Final Fantasy IV
Tecmo Super Bowl
Ninja Gaiden (NES)
Super Metroid (I used to constantly try to break my time records, eventually got it to under an hour)
In order of most to least:
The Legend of Zelda (NES)
Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
Megaman 2, Megaman 3, Megaman X
Mario Bros 1, Super Mario World, Mario 3
Halo 3
Simpsons: The Arcade Game
TMNT: The Arcade Game
FFVII
I also poured enough hours in to Age of Empires and AoE II to fit it into this list.

Btw Dex, you're going down in the fantasy playoffs.
z0sa... looks sh0pp3d.j/k
Props man. I probably would be lucky to go 1-1 right now in CS. It's been a while. You playing Source or 1.6?
No photoshop. It just took me 6 months to get something comparable with that 30-0.z0sa... looks sh0pp3d.
Source. 1.6 (actually 1.5) is where my heart is and where I did most of my competing, but I can't play for long with those physics/gfx anymore. Not that my PC isn't ty, but at least I can run Source on the highest settings.Props man. I probably would be lucky to go 1-1 right now in CS. It's been a while. You playing Source or 1.6?
If your ass would lose a game or two, it would help.Btw Dex, you're going down in the fantasy playoffs.I'm just trying to hold second so I can get the Bye. If I can ever get my whole damn team healthy, it could be interesting.
Aimbot/wallhax/no recoil/ESPSpeaking of CS, here's one for you Havoc
I remember when that was the response whenever you were having a good game on a pub. Good ol' days.
Haha, you know I'm 3 Balls, right? We're playing this week. I'm 6th in the league but I haven't lost a week since before the ASB, and that's with Chris Paul hurt.If your ass would lose a game or two, it would help.
I'm just hoping my guys continue to perform.
I'd say 26-2 in CS:S is quite a bit better than 30-0 in CoD4, considering there are no airstrikes or heli's in CS. On the other hand, one shot kills you in CoD4, but still. Anytime you're above 3-1 KNo photoshop. It just took me 6 months to get something comparable with that 30-0.on a good CS server is a very solid round.
Link to the Past, Super Metroid, Mario 3, and MK II are really the only ones that I've beaten more than once that come to mind. Only gaming I enjoy now is online gaming (haven't played single player MW, MW2, and BC2). Single player games just don't have that replay value that games used to have

I never play games more than once or twice, unless its like super metroid where a playthrough is really short and there is a point to it.
I've probably cleared diablo 2 hundreds of times, but you don't have a choice there and a run is like 15 minutes.
Weird genres like 4x don't have a playthrough. I've played a billion games of MoO2 or Civ4 for example.
I have RL friends who had >400 days on their main Everquest characters (they had other characters too, don't know how much time was on those), and that's before WoW even came out and they got hooked on that (not to mention EQ2). I've played all those games too, but spending an entire year of your life playing one character on some game is unfathomable. Just single out one year of your life and all that happened, all that you accomplished... and delete it. It's sickening.Nah dude.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles. Must have played through that game 50 + times.
