Roughly how many people/aliens/monsters/furry creatures have you killed in your computer and/or video game career?

Wow, good poll. I'd say somewhere in the 10 million area...that might be high though. Lets see, started back with the original Tie Fighter game which came on 5 3.5" diskettes. Then moved to Mech Warrior 2. Then it was Interstate 76, guess blowing up cars counts? A few RPG's, then finally I played Diablo 2 and got probably 12 or 13 characters to lvl 95 + in hell cows...that's ALOT of cows right there. Lots of strategy games (AoE, WC2/3, and many much older). What about the old school games where 1 character on screen would have a number representing a certain amount of troops

Heck, I've probably killed 25,000 Jedi in the Jedi Knight series of games, and they take a long time to kill

Lots of CS, CS:S, SOF2, MOH, COD, AA, and UT games.

Probably a bit high, even with only 10 million you'd have to kill 27,397 a day, every day, for a year. I don't think there's been a single day of my life I've come even close to that. I've really not been big into games until mid-2001 (freshman year of college) so my numbers are probably a good bit lower.

Hmm, this is an excellent example of a Fermi Problem.

I played serious sam a lot, so I am probably on the high side, hehe.

Roughly 20 years since I fisrt picked up a video game (space invaders FTW) so I don't think it's possible to count all the mass genocides i've done .

Marathon games of TA soon racks up a lot of kills...

I have been playing games since 1990. My kills primarily consists of:

Lemmings (nuked): 27000 (340 levels in first two games, usually 50 or 80 lemmings per level, and it took me 5-20 tries to beat each level back then; averaging everything gives 27k)
Descent robots: 61500 (have played through each Descent game around 10 times, I would guess there are about 2000 bots each game; also had about 1500 kills online)
C&C/RA/TS units: 200000 (played through each campaign 7 or 8 times and at least a hundred skirmishes, most with 8 players; each AI player builds at least 100 units in a skirmish game)
Freespace enemies: 23000 (played through the campaign around 30 times, about 500 kills in each playthrough, and used to have a little over 8000 kills online on PXO; this easily comes out to a couple million if you count the actual ship crews, but I suppose that's cheating)
Unreal and UT enemies: 70000 (counting all five singleplayer playthroughs, bot kills and the fact that I played UT online religiously for close to two years)
Deus Ex enemies: 7500 (played through around 15 times, I'll take HamburgerBoy's estimate of 500)
various other games: 10000 (Maelstrom, Doom, Jazz Jackrabbit, Battlezone 1/2, System Shock 2, MOH, Freelancer and probably a lot of other crap I can't remember; played each one at least three times each)

So that comes out to just short of 400000.

[edit] Actually, now that I think about it, there were a lot of old Mac space invader clones that I spent a lot of time with, as well as some other things like Crystal Quest. Considering how easy it is to rack up kills in those games, I can probably add another 100000 to that total.
