Idiotic computers... take over the world my arse. Why the hell isn't Yahoo Mess working?! It's not the account, trilian works just fine (and sucks btw). And the gorram mouse still doesn't work right if i stop using the damned trails. I hate formating... :disagree:

I'm finally so far in mu education that there aren't very many real exams. Last term, I had no written exam, and a total of less than 2 hours of oral ones. Of course, there were the damn hand-ins instead...

It works on the other computer just fine... it's just on this one that everything is screwed up. And i really don't feel like formating.


@GC I so hate you right now.

Lucky you! :)

This last semester I had 2 final exams and 1 hand-in assignment. The other 3 classes I lucked out and we got our "finals" during the school year (so we didn't have to return to take those after classes were out).

50...hour...binge...

****! :S

The most I've ever played straight is 10 hours (Super Smash Brothers) and I've never missed a meal (If I'm hungry I eat...period.)

I've been known to play over 5 hours a day though. :proud:

Please. 5 hours is nothing. (The responsible Omega in me kicks the irresponsible Omega for wasting so much of his time playing videogames)

I'm not sure how long I've spent playing a game. I know in a group of us would kill hours playing Super Smash Brothers Melee. With some RPGs, I've wasted incredible amounts of time.

RPG's have that ability. And I DO tend to binge when I start a new RPG...but a 50-hour marathon?! :|

If you ever decide to try that Omega, PM me in advance so I can call 911. ;)

I'd say I'm of the same category, rpgs can hold me for quite a while. Still more than 5-6 hours in a row is too much for me. Not sure what my maximum in one day is.
I, for one, am dying to find out what colour they paint Michael's toenails.

me either, but it's not more than 5-6 hours I'd think .... oh cancel that thought .... not more than maybe 12 hours (there was an all night Quake ][ madness session one night at uni :))

Ugh... 3 hours of Monster Madness is enough for one sitting. I don't have to worry about playing that for 10 hours.

Made it to level 16. I ended up replaying one of the levels about 3 or 4 times to get parts for my weapons. The upgrades really make a difference. I wish I had bought the gernade slingshot sooner. Nothing like shooting 3 cluster gernades at a bunch of enemies. The Grim Reaper fight was still a pain, but getting Zack's speciality melee weapon really made the difference. Nothing like using a Buster Sword to fight the Grim Reaper... that and a flamethrower.
