Heh. I started spending more time on this site a looong time ago.
While I have periods of obsession with games(there is probably one coming up soon with Mass Effect 2), I spend much more time on this site than gaming.
It's a little funny to think about.

Say what? Why aren't you allowed to play games on weekdays?
My parents think it will "mess up my academics".
Wait a sec, wait a sec here.

You're trying to tell me, that the user with the most posts (or thereabouts) on this whole website (a gaming website mind you), doesn't even play videogames the vast majority of the time?

Ha... I could guess that from the post count!

It is funny when you think about it... I mean, does it make us total nerds that we spend more time discussing gaming than actually doing it?

Lately, Escapist.

A week ago, gaming.

But Mass Effect's sidequests are so boring that I keep putting them off.

It's not a problem. I can stop when I want.
Really. I swear. It wouldn't feel like chewing my arm off or anything.
<color=white>oh dear god I need this place like my thumbs.

Huh...y'know...it just might!
If so, we should get some kind of special acknowledgment.
Like a turtle army march.
Let's organize one!

Pretty much this.

I keep putting off finishing Mass Effect because I absolutely hate driving the Mako. At least the Escapist never makes me do boring vehicle sections.

When I first joined this site, I spent way more time gaming, but now I'm usually on here most of the time. I game about 90 minutes at most, the rest of my hours are spent, either here or in college.

Actually, now you have to drive the Mako between each forum section. Gaming Discussion to Off topic is about 5 minutes of Mako driving.

It's so worth it for the ending though.

That sounds like an idea.

We can march on Ubisoft and tell them to go back to the Sands of Time series, then march on Bethesda and Valve and demand they make TES5 and Ep3.

Hell yes! Nobody can resist the might of a penguin army!
Just ask the local representatives![footnote]War Penguin and the like[/footnote]

I'm on here more but that's just because I don't have a game system at my mum's house and I just have a computer here.

I probably spend more time gaming. Since the week after Christmas, I've kept a constant Steam rating of 10. I do spend quite a lot of time on the Escapist, though, but why would you spend more time talking about playing games than playing the games themselves?

If I'm at uni, I'm on here for a good majority of the time. My PS2 sits, for the most part, unused.
If I'm back home, however, the PS3 wins out nearly every single time.

Thing is, I'm at uni more often than I'm at home (unless it's summer, of course...)

Recently, here more. But I am getting sucked back in by Fallout 3, so I might fall off the face of the earth for another few months.

That's a danger area for me too... starting a new Fallout 3 character usually results in my friends getting annoyed...
