Q23 - This is what happens when your admin isn't me.

[Sjofn]

If you played Rift with us, you'd know.. IN EXCRUCIATING DETAIL.   

That was delightfully awkward, yes.

Nerf and Falc are good examples of reasons to avoid buying mmo via Steam.

Why is it any different than simply buying at Wal Mart or Amazon?

[Fabricated]

I wasn't aware any of you people even played MMOs outside of Eve since I think the last 2-3 bat companies I bothered joining had like 3 people on at most whenever I'd log in.

edit: Bat Country, whatever. Tired.

[schild]

Your problem might have been that you were joining Bat Company, I don't know who they are.

[MuffinMan]

Unless you're playing within the first month of release, three people online at a time sounds about right for BC.

[proudft]

I think Bat Company is the new Glen Cook series.

[Sky]

Why is it any different than simply buying at Wal Mart or Amazon?

Wal-Mart and Amazon don't track hours played. 

[Nevermore]

Wal-Mart and Amazon don't track hours played. 

After seeing how retail companies track the buying habits of people, I wouldn't be too sure of that...

[ghost]

Wal-Mart and Amazon don't track hours played. 

Ah.  I gotcha.   

[Sjofn]

Hell, the displaying hours played thing is almost a reason not to buy anything through Steam. Everyone knows my DA:O shame, when it should be a private shame.

[Rasix]

Tee heee.

[MuffinMan]

 

[Sjofn]

You'll use any excuse to post that!  


EDIT: Up to 317 hours on DA2 by the way. 

[tgr]

736 hours on Crusader Kings 2.

[proudft]

Has that game even been out for 736 hours?

[schild]

It has been out for 1,056 hours.

[schild]

Tee heee.

What in the 9 fucks.

[Sjofn]

It's like people don't believe me when I say I play the everliving fuck out of games I like.

[schild]

I believe you, but there isn't that much content in those games, so it makes no sense. Any Bethesda game, sure, I can see that. Those?
No.

[Sjofn]

<shrug> I liked playing through it.

[Rasix]

There are enough permutations. I've done replays over answering yes at hour 30 in games that are 70-80 hours long.

We all have embarrassing MMO /played totals.  Lately, a conservative estimate of my LoL time would be somewhere north of 200 hours.  Hell, I knew a guy in EQ that had played the game for a 400+ days total when it was less than 3 years old.

edit: Sorry for the ribbing.  I didn't know the pillorying would commence in earnest.   

[ghost]

I've got a lot of time into the two recent Fallouts, but nothing like that.   

[IainC]

[Ingmar]

Man I'm only at like ~350 for Legendary + Dark Elves edition combined.

[Sjofn]

125 for Blood Bowl, but I was a late bloomer on that one.

[HaemishM]

I've only got 114 hours in Blood Bowl, but I didn't play in earnest until the Legendary edition and I haven't been playing as many feeder league games as some of you guys.

[Sky]

I've got maybe 55 hours in BB...would probably have a lot more if it weren't for non-f13 ringers in the league 

[Thrawn]

This feels like the start of a great new thread.  "Post your gaming shame" or something similar. 

[Yegolev]

I think we did this before.  Wasn't terribly popular.

[Sjofn]

Someone posted a "f13 top 10" thread or some such, where they added up our hours to see our collective top games. That's when Rasix first showed proof I was crazy.

[Sir Fodder]

My actual play times are way less than the hours shown, pause game to use restroom, forget about game, come back 6 hours later...

[Ironwood]

pause game to use restroom, come back 6 hours later...

Ouch.  Seek Medical Help.

[Sir Fodder]

Well geez, I guess things tend to get backed up during a 20 hour Skyrim marathon.

[Ironwood]

Not if a Daedra suddenly appears behind you.
