What? :blink:

Akin to Michaelpk I have an absurd amount of time sunk into the game, I dare not post cause the wife is within reading distance, and I average about 5-7 hours daily :D There's no sleep to be had but I manage :tongue:

Anyway back OT......

Good on you fine sir, a little break is a grand idea. Was thinking about taking a break myself, got Metro last light myself and hopefully it lasts til the release of GTA5. I know it wont though, so my planed break may be cut shot :tongue:

You play skyrim that much and still have time to have over 7500 posts on here?! That's pretty efficient.

One question: When the game is paused, does that still add to your total play time?

It doesn't.

When I'm on Skyrim, I occasionally post here while the game is loading it when I decide to pause because I see something interesting here.

It's easypeasy, I'm male and I can RP a female character, they never get married but still I can RP with em just the same as I can with a male character :D

edit......

It's no different then a boy playing with a Barbie :no:

Wow, that makes Michael's time total all the more impressive then. I was thinking he often fell asleep while the game was on to amass that much time. I wish I had that much free time to sink into this game.

ha the same thing crossed my mind, I wanted to give him some fatherly/big bro advice but he's a big boy with his own mind.

So michael have you played Hitman yet? As a long time fan of the series I have to say that they finally got the controls and mechanics smooth but they messed up the contracts by trying to give him a heart and save the day theme instead of sticking with the cold, calculated killer thing. Not bad but not great imo.

I'm taking a break too because my Skyrim doesn't work. I don't really feel like fixing it. I'm playing The Witcher 2 and Max Payne 3 at the moment

Haha pretty much this. I never used to, never played female chars in other games and when I started in skyrim I had weird rules like they had to be a lisbian, and later when I tried letting them be hetero it seemed like no man was good enough, but I've since come to enjoy playing flawed heroines, victims of abuse that make poor decisions (like getting drunk and marrying a beggar) and somehow still manage to rise above and maintain their dignity. Feel like I've matured.

I can go for long periods of not playing Skyrim but then I somehow get svcked back in. Usually because of new mods. I play it obsessively and I'll probably keep playing it until the next Elder Scrolls comes out. The TES universe is just so amazing.

Though a few nights ago, after playing all day, I suddenly realized what I was doing and a sadness came over me. I was literally living in a fantasy world. Rather being in Skyrim than in the real world. It's really not healthy and I'm trying my best to tone it down. Spending more time with my family, doing things around the house. But I just can't give up gaming. It might not be very productive but it's an important part of my life.

I have been playing other Games inbetween Skyrim, and I know falling asleep with the Game running does add Hours to the total on Steam. My total is 4740 on Steam, but I do wonder how much of the total was Me sleeping :blink:
