    The first step is admitting we have a problem. :)

    The next is not to look at it as a problem. :pac:

    Civ 5 for me has resulted in many's the daft o'clock nights as do the Grand Theft Auto games (just last night GTA V made 8 hours disappear).

    Football manager!!

    Civ getting a lot of shouts, I've never really played it... and probably shouldn't by the sounds of it! :/


  • Registered Users Posts: 686 ✭✭✭DVD-Lots


    Civ 5 for me too at the moment, getting flashbacks to Civ 2 many years ago. BF3 kept me going for the last year so this is ideal now until BF4 comes out in a couple of weeks.....save me jeebus from the dreaded "onemoreturn" disease. :)

    GTAV is basically this for me at the moment.

    Save the game.
    "Ok ill have one rampage and turn off when I die"
    Die 5 minutes later.
    "One more quick bash then I'll head off"
    Many hours later, turn off the console!

    This describes my gaming at the moment. I SAY when I'm done, not the cops that shoot me down!

    My other "just one more" was beating the Devil in Guitar Hero 3 on hard. I must've died 60+ times before finally beating that one song.

    I lost a good week and a half of my life when Skyrim first came out I played it constantly for a month and then moved away from it for a few months, and then back again. I've played wasted some 400 hours of it.

    Final Fantasy 7 still has this affect on me when I play it. I've lost months on it over the years. Remains one of my very favourite games.

    Pax Emperia was another great one for stealing days from me. Oh what I'd give to see them update it.

    At the moment am doing it a little bit with Zynga poker on the phone.

    Football and championship manager back in the day. Ah sure it's only 10 o'clock on a Friday night, I'll play one more match...... What??? It's 7am Monday, how the hell did that happen?

    It was a curse because I always said that if I was on a run of wins I didn't want to break that but if I lost a match then I wanted to ensure I won before saving and turning it off.

    And the new one is out in 2 weeks :(

    I'm the exact same with that game, no matter what I tell myself, I only ever want to win in the game, if I lose, I'l keep playing more matchs until I am on a winning streak, never ends :pac: its a bad addiction

    Trials HD and Trials Evolution.. it's the devious little instant restart function


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,456 ✭✭✭astonaidan


    Football Manager for me, there was so many reasons I would keep playing it.
    The chance of getting a job cause another team were in trouble.
    Oh Ill keep playing till Im knocked out of europe.
    World Cup got me everytime
    So many times I turned on a movie to watch when I was supposed to be saving it only to look up and movie be on end credits :o

    Dota 2. Even if I lose 5 games in a row and lose the plot for someone feeding on a lane, I'll keep playing some more until I'm a happy bunny again.

    And then it's "Great win there! I'm obviously in the zone, might as well play another!"

    For me it was Star Wars: Supremacy. "I'll just play until this Star Destroyer is finished building. That's only 5 more days. Oh ****, I'm being bombarded by the Rebels on Balmorra, better fight them off. Oh, that Star Destroyer finished building 10 days ago? Well...this Tie Fighter Squad is nearly finished, might as well wait for them".

    Peggle has gripped me again :D

    Final fantasy 8. It was my first ever final fantasy, I was amazed with the game. I actually started to suffer halucinations due to not sleeping, I opened the fridge and birds started singing. It is still by far my favourite game of all time so much so that I have the griever symbol inked on me and it's not small.

    I'd say over 2500 hours on it in the last 15 years
