How many hours of your life have you wasted on video games? | |||||||

I thought about it and realised that it has been literally OVER 9000 hours. That’s more than a year of my life… When I think about this I feel sad. Log in to see images! |

the actual playing of video games doesn’t upset me, it’s the idle time spent looking at webpages and just waiting for something to happen online that is my killer. |

Yeah, the only I’d consider “wasted” would be the time I spent on games I didn’t enjoy. Or the time spent on games that I never have and never will complete. |

if you liked playing them it wasn’t really wasted time. |

I don’t think dwelling on any other game that I have played except FFXI will be necessary.
“You have played for 602 days, 19 hours, and 22 minutes.” That’s time spent on char, not time since I made the char. |

That being said, a lot. |

Oh hell only knows, most of the games I’ve played don’t count the time you spent playing them. I know I’ve got about 10 solid days logged on both Pokemon Gold (no longer playing that, but that game lasted me a damned long time) and Team Fortress 2.
Animal Crossing probably absorbed a sickeningly large amount of my life too… that one feels like a regret, but let’s be honest here, it’s not like I could have traded hours spent on video games for hours spent finding a cure for cancer, the only variable here is how I spent my wasted time. |

For once, I -partially, though- agree with Fran. It’s not that much of a waste if you like what tou’re doing. Since I don’t play games I don’t like, then I must say that I’ve not wasted much time Log in to see images! However, I do play a lot. Seriously. A LOT. But it doesn’t worry me, though. |

My biggest time sink was Runescape for over 5 years; I spent, in my own estimation, over 6500 hours on my account, and at my best, I was #13 in the top million in one skill, Hunting, and #69 in the top million for 3 others. |

I’d say over half of my life has been used (not wasted, read Fran’s lennon quote) purely on video games, i’ve been playing since before I was in kindergarten (around 5 years old), and Monday i’m a sophomore in high school (15 years), so you do the math. |

Blah I’ve spent way more time on the internet probably than video games, but I’ve definitely put my time in.
