brb thinking of a better reply

Whoever makes a joke shall be slaughtered.

If you send me money I will happily buy more games and spend less time on each.

As it is... Resident Evil 4 is great, I have completed it on easy settings twice, normal settings about 10-11 times (with various set-ups, like all old-style weapons and things like that) and 4 times on hard.... also 5 times for the Ada seperate ways thing. then there is Assignment Ada (probably done it 2-3 times) and the mercenaries thing, which I got 5 stars on all 4 levels but didn'tplay it that much after that.

Metroid Prime 3 I have completed on the first two difficulties but on the hardest once I died against the final boss I didn't try it again as I am planning on buying the Trilogy eventually. I think I also made another run through on the middle difficulty on a different file.

What the heck, you sure replay your games a lot! :o
183 hrs on TP? That's insane! :p I completed the game twice, getting everything there was to get and that took me around 100 hrs or so. And that was taking it real easy and slow. :p How you can spend over 200 hrs on RE4 is also beyond me. Wow man that's really a lot of playtime for all those games, good for you, I wish they could hold my interest for such extended periods of time... :)

That's a helluva lot free time. I guess congrats are in order?

HTF do you get 183 hours out of Twighlight Princess but only 30 out of Mario 64?

I love Zelda but I still have no desire to go to back to TP yet. I assume you played the shit out of Mario 64 pre-VC.

I have over 1000 hours logged on one game alone. Team Fortress 2, that's over nearly 2 years though not one. I've played as a Spy on TF2 for 5x as long as I played twighlight princess and ~2x as long as you have.

Nope... I never played Mario 64 before I got it on the VC.
It's a great game, but I didn't feel the need to replay it after I completed it.

Twilight Princess I have completed 2.5 times.... and my flatmate at the time completed the main storyline too (I was usually sat next to him and he kept asking me what to do next rather than figure it out for himself)

Some simple math is in order.

Some points taken from various posts of yours:
1. You don't use the channels much.
2. Last time you stated it, your total time was more than mine by a decent amount, and you currently believe it is over 3000 by now too.
3. You have a few more games than me.

So it seems to me, that in general you must spend about 2 times as much on your games as I do and 1.5 times as much on any given game on average.... and if you take out games that you probably don't play due to them being terrible, like Boom Blox and anything with Sonic in it... then the other games must be played even more.

"any given game on average"

So you probably played LoZ:TP and Okami a hell of a lot more than me, but Endless Ocean and Wii Sports less

impressive numbers!

fyi:

there is a homebrew application called "Playstats" that adds up the times from the "today"-msgs automatically. it gets some other stats from the data as well.
