I think the most depressing aspect of my Steam Stats is AAA titles I haven't booted.

Alan Wake, Just Cause 2, LA Noire, Civ V, Total War Shogun 2 = 0 hours.

But I think I've spent about 10 hours on Bloons 5 on my phone over vacation.... yay $0.99 !

I think I have all of those games, and spent only a few minutes on each of them, except for Just Cause 2 which I did play once for a couple hours. I really tried to get into and play Total War Shogun 2 but I just didn't enjoy the tutorial.

Those are some great games you listed, definitely return to them sometime if you can. Alan Wake and LA Noire were among my favorite gaming moments in 2012. They're both very story-driven and immersive games.

Spent a ton of time in Just Cause 2 as well, but for totally different reasons.

Actually, I think he just leaves the game running for a couple hours while the snail collects coins...that's what I used to do.

If you look at mine, I have 400 hours in X3: Albion Prelude. I only played that game about 3 months, but I was extremely addicted when I played. Next highest is Skyrim with 156 hours (where the game is now bugged and I cannot continue with the same character :( )

I just bought about 50 games on Steam, Amazon, and GoG since I have been off of work and had the time to check the sales. That was dumb on my part.

I don't have as many games as some of you but the funniest statistic for me is that I have dumped over 1228 hours in CS lol.

I look at it this way: If I ever become unemployed, I can stop buying games and simply enjoy the ones I already own, which will take years for me to finish.

Games owned: 116
Games played: 93 (80.17%)

However, it's listing games I know I've played like L4D at 0 hours played. Plus all the HL stuff that I played/beat before Steam existed. So the number of games played is much higher in reality.

Top 10 games by time:

Team Fortress 2 - 1155.6
The Witcher 2 - 33.9
Tribes: Ascend - 33.3
Morrowind - 32 (this is surprising, I can't remember putting in more than a couple hours)
PlanetSide 2 - 29.4
Dragon Age: Origins - 28.9
Europa Universalis 3 - 25.3
Crusader Kings 2 - 24.8
Dawn of Discovery - 18
Tropico 3 - 15.3

edit: Where's Craig2345 and his 750 games that I see via the Friends link? How many of those has he actually played??

I don't know why but I am kind of disappointed in the number of hours being listed so far. I'm just lucky this does not include WoT...

Most of my never played games are oldies I recently acquired.

I can see that lots of you need therapy. You should continue to buy games but gift them all to me. That should help you all out tremendously.

That was certainly part of it, but I probably put in at least 50 real hours of playing it.

I don't know why but I am kind of disappointed in the number of hours being listed so far. I'm just lucky this does not include WoT...

I'm kind of glad that it doesn't include World of Warcraft, which reminds me of a story!

A friend of mine told me that she thinks I ought to be on TBS's King of the Nerds show, which I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not! I know that I'm not that nerdy... I mean, I don't wear capes or LARP! For fun, I watched a few of the contestant videos to see what I would be "up against." I checked out this chick's video first, and her bragging rights was having about six months played in World of Warcraft.

I could not help but let out a hearty guffaw! I exclaimed, "Hah! Is that all? I have that much on one of my 13 characters!" Yeah... after typing that out, I realized that it's probably not something that I should be readily admitting. :|

My Steam Profile says I have 405 games. Somewhere along the line I can't really call myself a gamer as much as a Digital Content Collector. That said, I've also lost count of how many porn vids I've downloaded but haven't ever watched.

Top ten play log.

Steam confessions of a WoW addict:

Games Owned: 135
Games Played: 18
Games Never Played: 117
Percentage Played: 13.33 %
Total Hours: 130.20

Top 5:
Bejeweled 3 -- 52.8
GRID -- 11.3
Crysis -- 10.9
Orcs Must Die -- 8.8
BFBC2 -- 8.7

Don't judge me!

This must've reset at some point. I've beaten HL2 twice in the past, and it only shows 2.1 hours. That's definitely not right.

So It's not too bad, lots of the games not played are Half life franchise and Warhammer, which I played before steam. :)

how do you get those stats?
