hey all. its been a while and i figured i'd start off with the big reason its been so long. Game that devour your life. and i don't just mean casually playing mabye 20-30 hours a week. i'm talking 40+ a week. I've just finally gotten around to de-activating my 2nd of two World of Warcraft accounts after playing for two years (the last 18 months being the worst) just as new content comes out. already got people bugging me to get i back. so far i'm staying away and plan on using my gym membership a lot more. Any thoughts or similar experiences from anyone here?

Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion.

Enough said? No? Damn.... let me elaborate.

In three weeks, I've dumped 145 hours into the game while not missing a day of work. I sleep for 3.5 hrs a night, get up, go to work, come home, shower, and play Oblivion. Why am I on here now to tell you this? Because I finally finished it, completely and utterly. Maybe I can get some sleep now........

Mount & Blade, and Kingdom of Loathing.

Mount & Blade Never seems to get old.

nice vaps. i never got around to finishing that myself. i remember after i went on holiday i came back tp find my Neverwinter nights 2 save games had corrupted themselves and i spent two solid weeks playing all day everyday to complete and fully unlock every aspect of the game with a new character. though i knew not to make a character with so may lvl penalties. having a Drow warlock on that set of rules is awesomely horrible.

Work tends to interfere with any attempt of marathoning games. I guess the closest would be L4D/TF2 in combination.

Fallout I can agree with, although I've yet to finish #3. Why? Because I've attempted to beat it 3 times.

The first time, I built my character wrong and made things harder than necessary.
The second time, I sold the console I was playing it on to pay a bill.
The third time, I learned from the first two and was running a perfect game. Then my copy GLITCHED and my save is screwed. I've gotta wait for the Game of the year edition and hope that can fix it.

Nothing is 'devouring' my life right now aside from work and biking. So... HOWEVER, Fallout 3 was quite fun for awhile.
