This is beginning to be unhealthy for you... I suggest you reduce your gaming habits a little bit.

The worse part is cancelling plans and feigning sickness only to play games... If you do that often people will stop trusting you and you will lose friends who might not be there forever... Same thing can't be said about games.

I had a serious addiction to Everquest (fondly known as Evercrack), and minor addictions to The Realm, and UO. I can't touch online games now, I'm afraid of them, even though I've been really curious about a few of the recent ones.

165 hours thats the time it took me to finish Final FantasyX the FIRST time
and i finished it three times

Yeah online mmorpg by far have been the most addicting of any game for me. That need to just get one more level or get that item, or even worse now that i think about it, to raise your craft level.

Spent 1 year with the original Everquest when it came out.

Spent about 4 months with Asherons Call 1

Spent about 2 years total with Dark Ages of Camelot, leveling up many 50's levels and then did those Master Trials with the Atlantis expansion, took a break to play Anarchy Online for about 8 months...got up to 160+ level and quit.

Finally did Final Fantasy 11 for about a 6 months. Got the PC version on launch Fall of 2003. On a daily basis, that game sucked so much time for me that around march/april I just knew it wasn't healthy for me anymore to play these games, although I enjoying them immensely. I loved playing with Japanese players so I could improve my Japanese. I was one of the first US players to reach 60+ level and made some good quality friends from Europe, US and asia.

I do miss the community and its addicting as hell, but for the past year I've just stuck to singleplayer PC & console games, an occassional LAN party and finding cool abandonware. I still get my gaming fix, but now I've got much more time to do other things. Its surprising how much stuff I can actually accomplish now in my spare time.

You should listen to experience.

I was addicted to Super Mario World on the GameBoy for a while. Beat it about fifteen times in a row before I got bored with it.

I think I don't have the attention span to become addicted to a game. I get bored, I play something else, I get bored, I play something else, I get bored, rinse and repeat ad nauseum, etcetera, ad infinitum.

Besides, I work at home. I have nothing else to do but play games
