I work until 7pm. Go for a jog. Have dinner. Play ball with my dogs. By that time it's around 10:30pm. Play an hour or so of ME3 most nights before I hit the hay.

On weekends I tend to wake up early for a morning workout before logging on to catch my US buddies. If I'm not doing anything in the evening then I'll catch my S.E Asia team there.

just how I roll

Simple: no school in summer when I did much of those hours :P Starting to feel the pinch this term though w/ projects; one more term to go before a Master's (I hope).

Well, 617 hours, but considering the ones before the Origin update, more likely I'm near to 1000 :P

I play at night and during lunch time...but no, I'm not insomniac. Also, I play one game at time.

I'm currently looking for a job, but apart from that I have a lot of free time. It's not uncommon for me to play long sessions, but that's usually only at night or on the weekends. Still busy most of the week in the daytime. Only other game I've gotten since I bought ME3 was BL2, and while I completed BL2, I haven't felt the incentive to replay it yet.

We'll see where I stand after completing all the challenges.

Yeah no idea how people play so much. Between working, life stuff, a social life and everything...I'm amazed I've racked up 300hrs or so.

Sleeping is overrated underrated. 


Fixed. If people slept more they'd enjoy their life more, in my opinion.

I spent around 350 hours in this game and I feel they're way, wayyyy too much. I feel I'm addicted, and I'm trying to play less and less. :happy:

8 months so approx 240 days. 756Hrs of play (damn...). Thats aprroximatley 3.15 hours per day.
I'm a full time univeristy student and have had several part time jobs (work is hard to find these days).

My usual gaming sessions last from evening (7-8pm until 1-2am). But sometimes I go out instead, sometimes I game earlier in the day. Y'know, the variables of life.

But it's not just that, the main source of my free time is that I rarely watch TV. And I mainly do so if there is a film I'd like to watch on. Just as I'd much rather play games than watch TV.

And apparantly (just plucked from google) the average person spends roughly 5hrs per day watching television.
So I'm actually wasting less time than the average person Image IPB.
Then again, I do play other games, like the ME SP, and another ME1,2,3 playthrough, BL2, Halo4.. but yeahImage IPB



Edit for simplicity - long story short, even with uni and finding work, I get so much game time due to the general lack of TV

Another edit - being dumped also helps Image IPB

If you have time, you have time. If you don't, then you don't. What's so complicated? Are you being upset that you don't have time to play a video game? What you have right now is far more valuable than that.

Unemployed... For me its that simple...

There is only so much looking for work and getting nowhere that you can do before depression sets in and you fall to its depths...

Plus I play with my fiance and we don't go out much, due to lack of funds...

Its not ideal, I'd rather have been working all that time, but hey... Its not all bad right?

Open ME3, change to desktop to do something I forgot, forget that I started ME3, PC goes to standby, I don't use PC for a day or so, and now I have more than 24h more clocked.

Unemployed and I generally dislike the general public. That plus a lack of money leaves me two options - Gaming or job seeking.

Insomnia generally tends to help.


ditto.

I have logged 698 hours if that counts. As a student of UFT, I didn't find much time to play until the summer. The majority of my play time occurred during August, in which I absolutely did nothing productive.

Yeah, I was amazed they count the time where you do nothing. My PC runs some automated tasks that I need for work so it is on 24/7. I once minimized ME3 and went away for a few days. When I returned I wondered how I managed to play 100hrs in the time I was away...

Oh so it counts the hours I'm logged into MP but not playing as well? Damn, *that* is how I got 350 hours. I almost always leave it logged in. :lol:

I dont watch TV, if you take the amount of hours you normally watch TV every week and convert them into hours playing games 700 hours over this however many months is nothing.

Plus, playing games gives you a good opportunity to listen to books.

I have a loose schedule. I'm in college as well, but my courses are online so I pick and choose when I want to do things. MP for me usually happens either late at night, or in the morning when I know I am not going to socialize with others. My sleeping range is pretty short, so I wake up early and have enough time to get it in a few matches on the daily basis. Even when I had a girlfriend and was doing something every day of the week during summer break, I went by this schedule and did well in balancing it all.
