Game was hard until Teddy snuck a Roshan then went HAM. I wish my Earth Spirit was good already, might have made it easier on you.

so excluding long-term games like dota how long do you guys play the average game?
I feel like i just paly the shit out of a game and then drop it to never play it again.

for example some recent shit I played and dropped after:
dying light - 1-2 weeks
d3 - 2 weeks
anno 2070 - 1 week
van helsing 2 - 2 weeks
don't starve together - 1 week

nothing that's come out recently has held my interest for long excluding titles like starcraft, wow, dota, wc3 ladder, cs1.6, age of empires 2, etc.

maybe i have adhd or some shit

I do a similar thing. Sometimes when I really like a video game, I'll remember it exists at some point, play it a shit ton, and then drop it again. Otherwise I pretty much do what you do.

Uhm, I've played Dark Souls for ~200-300 hours, Deus Ex Human Rev. for ~100, 300-400 for Skyrim, ~100 Endless Legend, 500~ for Fire Emblem and maybe 200 for the Pokemon games.

With a smattering of other games.

Oh, I forgot the ~800 hours I spent on BF3 and probably 1.6k hours on the various CoDs and I don't feel like looking up those .

I have like 20-ish hours for TF2 and L4D2. About 30-40ish for AOE2:HD and CS:GO. Don't have League or Heroes on count but those 2 are probably 50 hours at best.

SC2, Dota2 and Planetside 2 are probably my 3 most played games, Dota2 at 500 hours and Planetside 2 on 400 hours on Steam. SC2 might not count though as 99% of the time I spent there was like for customs, barely even touched ladder even though I bought both WoL and HotS. (That feeling when they made arcade free but you bought HotS anyway and never played HotS ladder.)
There is no need to be mad.

Before Dota the most I have ever played a game was Killzone 2 on PS3 for about 500 hours. That was also my first 'competitive' game that I played at all.

Everything else I play through once and then can't pick up again. I'm amazed that I've nearly beaten Dark Souls 2 twice, though god only knows if I'll ever finish that run.

Just jokes.

Seriously though, why did I blind pick sf on EU before knowing what their mid was, lol

are u the 'last picking ta' cancer type

I pretty much never last pick (mostly because I lose gold since people just sit there not picking). And I pick a lot of different heroes for mid/carry/off, I don't actually spam 1 hero for MMR ever (I do however play Storm like at least once a day). Also everyone picks their best heroes in RMM, even you did after you got 6k so I'm not sure what the issue is, lol.

You're the slark picking cancer guy


dude slark isnt my best hero
i had to learn slark at 6.3k
it was like my first time playing him ever
i got to 7k with 41 slark games only
also every game was a blind firstpick

Since we're counting hours, I'll link my steam page: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198028180490/games/?tab=all

And here are the top 5 games I played over the course of steam history:

Dota 2 - 2.3k hours
CS:GO - 600-ish hours
Skyrim - 230-ish hours
Farcry 3 - 184 hours
Terraria - 97 hours

And the top 5 games I can think of that I haven't played on steam but have played a shit-ton

SC2- 2k+ hours
Mario Kart DS - soooo much time spent trying to get 3stars on 150cc mirror T_T
Star Wars: Empire at War + FoC expansion - Hundreds of hours
Star Wars: Battlefront 2 - Hundreds of hours
Halo series (specifically, 1 and or 2 on PC) - Hundreds of hours

Tbh since I didnt have friends who played mario kart I barely tried snaking, and only after watching a youtube video about it, and only played Mario in the default kart ever.

Except for rainbow road in the special cup, that one I used Luigi in the Blue Seven to get 1st place in.

I fucking loved drifting in that game though. That was soooo satisfying to pull off consistently around every corner, even around soft turns just boost all day every day.

Edit: alright i found my copy of mario kart ds, time to learn snaking

snaking makes the game so fun lol, suddenly straightaways are way more challenging and you can just about always squeeze out a little more speed ^^

I was reasonably competitive online in that game like 8 years ago or something, happy to give tips if I can still remember how to play :D

I don't even remember what happened to my ds tho, I think I gave it to one of my younger cousins years ago or something

I'm wondering if you had to blow on the cartriage in order for the game to work?

After owning a game for a bit I always have to blow on the cartriage to make the game work otherwise it just doesn't work at all. Do you have a similar experience?

Edit: alright fuck blue shells

oh also I think the last time I played a single player game for a decent amount of time was like 3 years ago when I finally decided to beat oblivion for some reason lol. I've bought acclaimed games like Bastion but I end up putting them down in like 5 hours max.

I've put probably 3 or 4k hours into melee and like 6k or more into smash 64. Probably more tbh I've been playing smash 64 with no breaks longer than a couple of months for something like 15 years lol (obviously I wasn't playing it competitively when I was like 8 but still)

oh and a few thousands into BW and SC2, is there a way to check how much time you've spent on SC2 via bnet somehow?

also I only got a desktop for playing dota 2 late last year so I only have like 100 games of dota rofl I'm awful

looking forward to spamming some dota once I'm all set up again tho
