First MW3 multiplayer trailer escapes CoD XP

@48, No I prestiged the full 15… A fact that doesn’t get me as much action with the ladies as I hoped -_-

@42, you clearly know shit about gaming if you think that 500 hours is too much or 1500. It’s not much if you like gaming and you can stay fit everyday.

It’s called “having a fucking life”.

The most I’ve ever clocked up in one single game was something in the region of maybe 200 hours, and that was the over span of over 3 years. You see, my brain isn’t so simply wired together that I can find the same, exact repetitive shit entertaining for days and days on end.

It’s not my problem that you and your friends are simpletons.

So no, you cannot make a valid argument about 500 hours being normal… unless you’re fucking paid for it.

Some of us have responsibilities, jobs, social lives, and things other than video games to entertain us. My life is so busy with children and family commitment I wouldn’t even be able to clock up 500 hours of gaming in a year, even if I wanted to.

You’re one of those people who actually think that playing a bunch of derivative and generic games for thousands and thousands of hours somehow makes you more of a valid gamer than the rest of us.

It doesn’t. It just means you have no life.

Here’s a good place to start: http://www.amazon.com/books-used-books-textbooks/b/ref=sa_menu_bo8?ie=UTF8&node=283155

Well in all fairness Michael its no worse than spending mindless hours watching crappy TV.

I’m glad we had this talk.

@54 Yeah, watching the same fucking show for 500 hours.

500 hours is 1.36 hours per day over the course of the year.

Nobody plays daily, so lets imagine that a regular hardcore gamer plays almost every weekend (42 weekends out of 52 available per year, or 84 days) and the majority of weekdays (4 days out of 5 available per week, or 208 days). That leaves a total of 292 days gaming per year.

That’s an average of 1.71 hours per day over the year. Also consider that the hours for the weekdays are likely to be considerably less than weekend hours, when you factor in all night gaming sessions and waiting for MOTD gaming sessions (for example) that will probably happen during a good amount of the weekends.

I don’t see the difference between playing one online game that you really enjoy, with your good friends, and playing 1.71 hours a day of boring, bad AI, predictable, been there, done that, 10 hour SP campaigns of a handful of overpriced different games on your own.

Oh wait… I do.

@54 And that’s why I don’t want mindless, crappy television either. I don’t even have a TV service set up in my house.

@56 And he said “over the summer” in his post, so you can automatically qaudruple your number right there. That would require roughly 6 hours a day of play-time to do, and you’d have to do it almost every single day to manage it.

^ Personally I reckon Erz has made a slip here & revealed himself as a major COD junkie… Wouldn’t surprise me if he was in LA over the weekend

I think he’s a retired Soviet chessplaying computer, that was thrown in the dump, only to gain a mild form of self-awareness feeding off the trash, eventually turning the dump into his secret lair from which he tries to sabotage the internet.

But that’s just a theory.

@59 And he’s clearly only running on about 64KB of RAM and a 5khz processor.

@60 Maybe that’s how he spent 500 hours playing CoD, he was just waiting for the maps to load.

No question about it.

6 hours a day, every day, is terribly unhealthy, not to mention almost certainly psychologically damaging.

Explains a lot.

@62

Yup – I get home from work ’round 6 or 7 each day, so playing until midnight or 1am every single day with no break on a game I hate and constantly bitch about. Sure of course someone in their right mind would do that! Don’t know why I’ve never considered doing it before!

I love Cod. I play on a regular basis (at least to me) with my friends (both real and online) and we have a blast. I just checked my time on blops and it’s just over five days. Since last November . I cannot fathom how anyone could rack up five hundred hours in a SUMMER. I’m actually kind of jealous, I wish I had that much free time ( though if I did I wouldn’t spend ALL of it gaming). This guy needs an intervention. Take a walk, or a hike, ride a bike if you like. There is so much more to life. I’m pretty sure what little credibility he had is gone.

@64

This is true – even when I had nothing to do all summer (gotta love summer holidays when in school/uni!), I still didn’t play six hours every day.

The man needs help.

When I was out of work I played very much Black Ops. The difference is, I liked it almost as much as CoD 4

/e: Oh yeah I forgot, always funny if those “grown ups” are hatin against people who play games most of the time and tell them they have no life and stuff, seriously, this is even more ridiculous than playing Black Ops 24/7.

There’s a pretty big difference between telling people that videogames are bad, and telling people that playing one for 500 hours is bad.

Maybe, still it’s none of our business

Of course it is. If you choose to expose that sort of thing to the public, then it’s everybodys business.

This is a comment section. Comments will be made. From petty to poignant, people are gonna express their opinions, and they’re very likely to do that on something as contradictory as some guy saying he hates a game that he’s spent 500 hours on.

I enjoy the fuck out of MW2, but I still haven’t spent more than 200 hours on it.

You got me wrong.

Sure you can comment on that, if someone played a game that he hates for hundreds of hours, but why should you tell him that something’s wrong with him or his life? Even then, when you don’t know him.

Why shouldn’t you? Your morals aren’t my morals, just like my morals aren’t Michaels morals.

Expression. It is free.

And of course you’re just as free to judge people on the things they say.

Oh come on. I hate it if people come up with stuff like that

So, to change the topic: What do you think, how would you judge about this whole “I played a game that I hate for 500 hours “dilemma”"?

I can only refer to my above theory that Erthazus is in fact identical to the Ertha ZUS 19/17 Sovereign Socialist Chess CPU. Invented and programmed by Viktor Ertha i 1981, who was later found dead, seemingly killed by a stroke, caused by fatal exposure to pointless arguments.

After being defeated in 1987 by Imran Zakhaev, the machine was tossed for scrap, explaining his vicious distaste for all things Call of Duty, his love for the Russian language, while at the same time explaining why he can’t stop playing the game for hours on end. That’s what he’s programmed to do!

And lets not forget that Call of Duty is, apparently, one of his less played games…

Same ol’ s**t…

Just as a closing thing, we’re totally within our rights to say spending 500 hours on a game you don’t like is unhealthy and stupid – just like if someone said they only chips and nothing else, well that’s unhealthy and stupid; or if someone smokes two packs of cigarettes a day, well that’s unhealthy and stupid.

@73

That was one of the more witty original creations I’ve seen.

@75

What’s s-star-star-t?

Ask yourself, would a person be able to spend 500 hours on their least favourite game if he put about as much into posting on this website?

Hardly unless they never sleep.
