Dear Anonymous. It is not because I don't want to answer my own questions, if you are curious I would say it varies a lot, depending on my time away from school, work and whatever.
Last year when I was without job, and living in the UK away from friends and everything, gaming was most of my daily day. But now I would say it is more around the 4-6 hours in average, so ofc it is way too much still. But I guess it will change when I get back into my 8 hours of studying/work again after the summerbreak. :)
I like the way you look at gaming as a social activity, I definately agree with you! Gaming isn't just being all alone in your own little bubble of the world, not when interacting with other people through the games, and talking on voice. They are friends on a whole new level in a different world.
Valkyrie, I agree with you about how easy it is to log in sometimes! I know how you must feel, after 6 months of being in the same situation as you are in now, I know how attractive gaming is! It is sometimes dangerous because of all the lovely people there. And since when has a little chat for about 4 hours ever harmed anyone? ;)
We all know games can be really addictive, and personally I am already. I have been addicted to many games, but my favourite must be Lord of the Rings online, since I am now playing on my 3th year!
So tell me; what's your favorite game of all time?
My fav game of all time.. would still be Vagrant Story for the old Playstation 1. There was something that just "clicked" in me playing that game, I still love it unquestioningly and could go on for hours just talking about how awesome it is :D.
ReplyDeleteIt's always interesting to see everyones answers, especially the person asking the question :p
ReplyDeleteVagrant Story was awesome. Sydney was evils! I remember that game but it was a long time ago.
I've had so many favorite games over the years, from pretty much every console as well. I played Everquest (another MMORPG, one of the first available) as a ranger for 7 years so that's always going to be a big thing for me. My favorite game of all time is Planescape Torment. An old RPG for the PC. I still complete it every couple of years just for nostalgia.
Favorite game - eh. I would have to admit that the elder scrolls 4: oblivion would be my favorite game of all times then.
ReplyDeleteEventhough it is a bit outdated I still play it now and again, also for the sake of nostalgia.
The realm you are given in that game is so vast and immense. How you fight in the game is also brilliant, and not to forget the lore, the factions it includes, each with their own storyline. The music is absolutey heavenly, I listen to it all the time, it give a feeling of serenity, it is totally mind blowing.
I'd recommend it to every rpg-gamer that hasn't played it before.
