I'm so engrossed in Dark Souls, it's all I think about. Even when the game pisses me off and I rage quit I still go back like a fiend.

I put 212 days played time into a single character in Everquest within a 3 year span, does that count?

No. I can't play a single game longer than 90 minutes in one session without getting bored.

Even if I didn't get bored, I would still probably quit and do something else. It took me about 4 months to beat Uncharted 2 and GOW3. :P

There was this one time I was addicted to the Resident Evil series. In like a week I had bought and finished all games both mains and spin-offs.

EDIT: And let's not forget about Guitar Hero...

Yeah I'm hooked on Dark Souls also. I rarely loose my temper playing games but I scream at the tv playing Dark Souls. As much as the game pisses me off I can't stop playing it.

Once. Guild wars. Played it for 4,000 hours. Got fatter than I was. Luckely ever since I took a break from gaming, I've become skinny. Hopefully guild wars 2 won't make me fat again.

Quake 1, 2 and 3! It was a blast, editing package files so we can have custom skins made on paint. :)

I still have my CFG file.

I was addicted to TFC for about 6 years lol. especially competitive play. I loved playing both 9vs9 and 5vs5 competitively, and would be involved in at least 3-4 leagues at once.

now my addiction has shifted towards single player games - specifically danmaku shmups. I love getting wrecked and eventually overcoming the insane bullet spreads that intially own me. At the moment I've been sinking a lot of my time into akai katana shin, but I'll probably go back to ketsui soon.

Not anymore though? I have it but haven't played too much due to Dark Souls. Demon's Souls/Dark Souls got me by the balls.

EVE Online, man. It is ridiculously intense when you're out in 0.0 space doing PvP. I had to make myself stop playing that.

If I get into an MMORPG, it's all I can think of in my spare time.

Currently, I'm more or less addicted to League of Legends.

Well I just got Morrowind so there is that.

Before that I was addicted to Team Fortress 2 and pluged in 295 hours into it and it's still going strong. Before that was Champion's Online with 104 hours, then the Just Cause 2 DEMO (mind you) and I played that for about 100 hours. Then there is the Mafia 2 demo with 91 hours and finally Portal 2 with 47 hours and will still be counting as I have yet to achieve all achievements in the game. :)

Yes. Flight Simulator X. I love punching in real-world weather observations and see how FSX renders them.

I'm guessing you don't play MMO's? 100 hours is like crap, compared to what most MMO gamers do. I did 4,000 on guild wars within 2 years. Never done that again. Hell max I did was rome total war 400 hours and battfield 2 - 280 hr. Oh my young years...

Nope I don't have enough time to devote to any MMOs.. Because of my schedule I rarely finish any games, so 100 hours on anything is a large feat for me.

Reason why I don't play them anymore. I used to though. But I was young and had nothing else to do.

Probably Fallout 3. I put in something like 100 hours in it on just one go before the DLC, just a few weeks of 2009, completely neglecting all my buddies begging me to play CoD4 with them and go out and not play Fallout 3 so much. I did play some CoD4 (otherwise my time would have been much higher), but overall I pretty much did everything there is to do in one playthrough, and even got through a couple more playthroughs.

The GTA games are also another game series I was potentiall addicted to. I can't even remember how many times I've played through them all or the hours spent screwing around.

Lately though, I tend to be restless. I don't like devoting too much time in one game, even on Skyrim I'm about halfway through, but its been like a week since I played because of Batman, Uncharted, RAGE, Dead Island and Portal 2 (also work and college and friends and stuff I suppose).
