wow .. no pun intended. 2 hours minimum? So with that I am guessing no one really sits down for less than 1/2 a day. I could think of more fun things to do like.. spend time in the naked room lol :lol:

Back in the day when I played super hardcore in vanilla, I played for 33 hours straight, only breaks were bathroom, and to answer the door for food.

I just gave up on wow, too much time to invest into the game. I actually don't play any games online anymore, unless it's like a crap java one... most i can get addicted to those is for a hour before boredom or I beat it.

Since they killed twinking by adding XP into battlegrounds, I find myself playing less and less. I only run 10m & 25m Trial of the Crusader / Trial of the Grand Crusader with the guild now and that adds up to maybe 4-6 hours a week. I'm never going back inside Ulduar again... Can't stand 4 hours of raiding straight.

Not that anyone cares I'm sure but I'm still off the WoW. Have since played through some awesome games that I have missed in the recent past...

Bioshock - out-freakin-standing
Fallout 3 - nice but I miss my old school Fallout 1&2
Dragon Age Origins - one of the best RPGs I've played in a long time
Borderlands - love the post apocalyptic setting and the artwork/style is great
COD:MW2 - what a phenomenal story but it was way too short
Batman:AA - holy hell this looks pretty...loving it

Staying away from MMOs for the time being....but damn...Star Wars: The Old Republic is looking veeeery interesting....

I like games that you can play for 20 mins have fun then get on with your day.

great to hear another person rehabilitated. SAY NO TO World Of Wankers

http://www.racingschools.com/stock_cars ... hool.shtml
this is going to be my video game once i get back to Tx. I have been waiting all my life to be able to go to one of these race schools. Gonna be fkn fun as hell. wooo

if you want a game that you can easily get 50-100 hours total game time on. get fallout3 game of the year edition. it comes with all 4 expansions. quite time consuming

Like you, I like games you can play for 20 mins and easily drop to do other things.

Its also why I stick to one game pretty much at a time and not take on more than one.

Unless they are the same type of "play 20 mins and easily drop" just for a small change.

World of Weirdos isnt my speed. For me, playing that is like sitting thru a lecture on the life cycle of worms. Not exciting cause its just to complex to enjoy but that is some peoples' cup of tea.

I rather shoot and blow things up for a little while, drink and beer and be done with it lol

haha Phonix , yeah it seemed pretty fun to get a new cod series game. New Maps New weapons new kill streaks and different gameplay.

Its too bad in my view they didnt do things much more similar to the first modern warfare. this iwnet , max 8 player teams for free for all well dont get me started lol
