I can tell you now, I did not break any lap times lol

We still laugh about that now but with having a kid, I could not imagine doing it now lol

My wife told me yesterday that last week she read 3 books.......becasue I was playing fifa so much.

I did think that the silence (except for andy grey and co) was quite nice

I could easily play all night, I never get tired when I'm gaming. However, I'm old and wise enough to know that with a baby and a job, that I could never survive the day after if I did so I always give myself a cutoff time.

TransmitTiglet · 19-11-2008, 01:40 PM

ah guess you guys aren't into hip hop :P nevermind then

it's from a song that goes "Teen drinking is really bad for you... yo, I got a fake ID though"

secretcrowds · 19-11-2008, 01:42 PM

what song is that?

jocky · 19-11-2008, 02:07 PM

Longest I've ever played Fifa 09 is probably 3 hours. lol

@gcooley and nicholas:

Guys, I'm really happy to meet some people lalalalala in the same situation. I also have a kid and wife at home and regularly get into fights with my wife because of gaming. These days I also play Fifa after my wife goes to bed, unluckily my XBL connection gets cut each day about midnight and I can't login for 10 minutes then. And because I have to get up early in the morning I can't play too much at night anyway...gaming is a big problem for my girl, she doesn't see any sense in it and if I would just sell my XBOX she'd be quite happy. I don't get more than 1 hour per day without her becoming angry....whick sucks.
One of my friends has a girl-friend from Asia who's playing a lot PS3 herself...one day he even came home from work and his girl still sat in front of the LCD in her underpants playing Motorstorm.....damn!

DOA KappaTango · 19-11-2008, 02:53 PM

I have 4 kids and a wife - the evening is the only time I get.

No way man thats bull. I play FIFA for maybe 2 hours a time max, but if I ever feel the need to play for 10 hours solid then I should be able to, and rightly so after I coughed up nearly £600 for my console.
