What is your WoW?

[StBishop]

My WoW was DotA. I played it for about 10 hours a day (I had to like, clean the house and go to the gym sometimes), 7 days a week for about 4-5 months.

No job and no study with alot of savings to burn while "looking for a job". It's a bad combo.

I also ate like shit to keep my savings lasting longer... was not good. At least I wasn't scrounging off the government while doing so, there's a positive.

But since then I've done quite well, I've avoided playing too much of any game on a regular basis. Although I do binge play for large sessions after exams.


Edit: Also: Real life wow, not sure there is one atm. Pretty good. If I had to pick, Driving.

I am surprised no one on the escapist is actually addicted to World of Warcraft

I stand corrected.

Yes, addicted. That'll be why I haven't played the game in 3 years then. Figures.

I meant that no one said that they have been addicted to it at some point

Indeed, and as far I can tell, nobody has. Yet. Or says me, having not actually read every post in the topic.

Kingdom Hearts. I must have all games, the final mix+ versions of the game, Manga, Wallpaper, Cosplay and Ect. I have a problem I know, But I'm happy about it!

OFP: Cold War Crisis or ArmA II
Or maybe Mount&Blade Warband too (just reached 100 hours on it today)

so whos addicted to life? anyone? anyone?

Well let's see....

Addiction is when the body or mind badly wants or needs something in order to work right. When you have addiction to something it is called being addicted or being an addict.

Yeah, I say I'm addicted to life

I don't get addicted to things either. My friends would say that I was addicted to WoW but I quit when I wanted to, proved them wrong.

 

[MMETEORAGA1994]

Collecting old games. I play all the games I get, but I buy way too many (I can pay for all of them mind you)

Mass Effect 2. I've been playing it for almost 2 months straight now, and they keep bloody making DLC, and I still haven't even played the Soldier yet or beaten Overlord!

They just released Lair of the Shadow Broker today

*cries*

I really hope you're playing on the hardest difficulty if it's taking that long...

I am playing on Insanity yes. I didn't mean to imply I haven't beaten it (I'm on my 5th playthrough actually), just that I can't put it down :-D

I also downloaded and beat Lair of the Shadow Broker last night, which was AMAZING, but still haven't gotten around to Overlord... lol.

 

[Quid Plura]

Team fortress 2. Seriously, I can't stop.
Ever.
Well right now, I'm not because I'm doing exams, but it'll be the first thing I'll play when I have the chance, and I just bought a new game.
Tf2 so good... *drools*

Well, at least you put it down for your exams.

 

[Owlslayer]

I guess the game I've been the most addicted to is Dungeons & Dragons Online. I spent a lot of time playing it and i don't really understand why i stopped playing. However, I won't be re-downloading it because I'm afraid i might start to play it again, nonstop. Yeah...it was a fun game indeed...

 

[EightGaugeHippo]

Cheap, low spec, PC games. I cant get enough of them!

 

[Legend of J]

Sims 2 lol. Basically i have phases and when i play it i play it to death.

I feel ya man. I got a friend addicted to eq2. He barely leaves his room except for school or work.

Gaming-wise: Diablo 2
I've played through it about 25 times so far; never gets old!

Non-gaming-wise: BPM.

It's a drink that's only available in Ireland; and it wins.

Used to be the old school SWG, I loved the skill point system where you bought you way up professions. The diversity of what you could be was awesome.

non-game : Lots of stuff, my own personal fantasy world that I've been trying to novelize since I was 18, concept art for it, various other stories, and games. I like entertainment though, I think just having stuff to do is my WoW. I can enjoy lots of stuff, but I hate being bored, though I don't know if I'm addicted to anything.
