OMG 150 p/m i spent that in the last decade! lol... my wife cracks the ****s big time occationally, threatening to throw the PC out the window,she once hid all my closecombat CD's,fortunately i found a NO CD program after that....CCIII was the most addictive for me,5+years of H2H, AI Grand Campaigns(hundrens of extra modded maps,dozens of different mods making it like a new game every few months) it came to a peak after our second child,she was post natal,and i was close to "bailing out!" if i even went into the computer room it was 'fight night'. my gaming has been obsessive at times, work 8 hrs,do my internet stuff a hour,then kids/clean/home ****/dinner,then maybe 1 to 3 hrs max gaming.weekends i might of got a 1 to 3 hrs extra. CoD4 for last 3/4 months has been a ride of adrellin,but i miss the tactical side of gaming, and awaiting CC WaR with much impatience. i have been a gamer for decades also,pong,space invaders,galaga,FPS at arcades,pinball,then a appleIIe with pinball,that helicopter shooter,hitch hikers guide to the galaxy(all typed interface) and a brilliant tactical game i cant remember think'dark forest',then my first PC was win95 pent 1, KKND,cannon fodder,then the HOLY FUGGIN GRAIL, CLOSE COMBAT(1)...it was all over red rover for me then...wow...I held St Lo with 1 panther VG and 1 Jagdpanther and 1 command infanty team untill december 1945 lol...thousands of smoked 75's shermans,jacksons M39's,stuarts,76's shermans...and the bodies...fortunately for game play the wrecks dissapear after a few days...lucky scrap metal merchants...
