Hey Everyone! I' m an uber gamespot noob here and I need some major help!!!!!!!! :shock:

I have way too many PC Games (about 27). I honestly love them all but I work 2 jobs so I only get about 3-5 hours to play my games. How do you guys do it?! How do you manage playing a lot of games? Especially when 6 of them I'm addicted to online play. It's just I bought all these games an I don't want to feel like I wasted my money so I need a scheduling stradegy from some of you fellow PC gaming nerds out there. Thanks in advance.

Well get rid of MMOs, then you'll have so much more time for everything else.

Hahaha same here...no school forever! Nice ROFL copter btw.

Seriously, dude, just chill out on the gameplay. Ive got about 60 games sitting right here and I love em all but just keep a few loaded on. I mean, most games you beat and then you kinda forget about them for a while.

As for multiplayer games, keep your MMO limited to just one game and then play maybe 1-2 online games like one RTS and one shooter.

I find very hard liking many games at the same time.I play one many hours every day and after a month or two I never play it again.. well not always. For the time I just have a lot because I go to school and tomorrow is my last day:D
I think that if you have a good PC and play some good games like Rainbow six Vegas or Ghost recon and stuff like that you will not play loads of games and you will have more time.

"I only get about 3-5 hours to play my games" I imagine that you don't count the time you play MMOs because they're like "jobs" and are far more serious than other games:P If you stop playing MMOs I'm sure you will have time for gaming.

Kidding :P

Hey Everyone! I' m an uber gamespot noob here and I need some major help!!!!!!!! :shock:

I have way too many PC Games (about 27). I honestly love them all but I work 2 jobs so I only get about 3-5 hours to play my games. How do you guys do it?! How do you manage playing a lot of games? Especially when 6 of them I'm addicted to online play. It's just I bought all these games an I don't want to feel like I wasted my money so I need a scheduling stradegy from some of you fellow PC gaming nerds out there. Thanks in advance.

What I dont get is how you manage 5-6 hours a day with two jobs! Are they part time or something?

Also for the rest of you guys, he said he doesnt play MMOs so that isnt an issue here.

sounds like you've just got PC and you've never played video games before - lol

anyway my suggestion is to play only one game and to finish it, then move to other game.....

Personally, I think MMOs are all crap. I've tried a few out a got sick of them in a day or too. They are are mind-numbing repititive garbage. Some multiplayer extensions of single player games like combat games are okay. it's the role-playing MMOs that are junk. I find no redeeming value at all in the genre and can't understand why they are so popular.

I'm lucky if I get eight hours a week. Just enjoy the game when those precious minutes come.
