I've probably played over 15,000 matches of that thing in over 13 years. And now that I can play it online...nothing like pulling a spinning pilediver on a random stranger.

you play on xbox live? PM me your gamertag, I usually get on there 1 or 2 times a week and play. i have probably played 4 matches of SF3. SF2 is where its at :D

:D Me too. I wasted days and days on that game.

It was bad b/c it was always "Just one more turn..." That makes me want to reinstall and play a "little" this weekend. CivIII just wasn't as good.

Counterstrike took a lot of time in general. But most recently Rome total war would just rape entire days away without me noticing.

Well..with a good RPG I am addicted of course until I beat it (read: Kotor, Jade Empire), and now Forza has all of my attention.

Starcraft stole many years from my life.

There were several times when I'd wake up in the morning, play it, keep playing, look outside: It's dark, keep playing, keep playing, look outside: It's daylight, meh, keep playing.

Record was around 39 hours straight.

I broke the habit after one of my CD burners shattered (literally) my Brood War disk though. :(
