Don E : Team Fortress 2

Justin M : Team Fortress 2

Kale M : Either Metroid Prime 3: Corruption or Halo 3

Keith S : Halo 3.  Co-op through Legendary and collecting skulls.

Kyle P : Halo 3. Or Team Fortress 2. Or Bioshock. Or Portal.

James H : Hell's Highway...no time for any other game. It's a jealous master...

Pat K : Has to be Team Fortress 2.

Mark F : BiA: HH - anyone else on the project that answers differently is either a liar or a robot that doesn't need to sleep.

Michael B: Magic the gathering... don't ask -_-

Evan E: School work is not a game. It's serious business.

Mark K : Project Gotham Racing 4

Erik A : Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway, natch.

Andrew W : I feel like I should say Borderlands. TeamFortress2!

Patrick D : Bioshock.

Aaron N : Team Fortress 2, by wide margin

Jason R : Team Fortress 2 (Demoman wooo!)

Simon H : Bioshock

James C : I've played WoW for 3 hours this week. Yep, that's all I've played this week.

Patrick B : Diablo II, and Borderlands, and Diablo II.

Graeme T : It's a toss up between Team Fortress 2 and DiRT. Or Dirt. Whichever.

ennui : Puzzle Quest on XBLA.  I promised myself I wouldn't buy Orange Box until this weekend.

 

Don E : It's probably a tie between Quake 1, and Necromium

Justin M : Counter Strike...so much time spent playing this, and I still get pwnd!

Kale M : Phantasy Star Online: Episodes 1 & 2: My save file has around 400 saved hours of game time. My Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion file had about 150 hours on it before it somehow got corrupted.....I cried...

Keith S : Everquest. I believe the play time for my three mains, together, added up to just under 200 days played.

Kyle P : Probably either Morrowind or the first Unreal Tournament. I couldn't even guess how many hours I put into each of those.

James H : I lost months of my life to WoW. I'm still in recovery.

Pat K : In one sitting? I have had some marathon Civ3 games.
Total Play time? Its a toss up between Civ3, Rise of Nations, and CounterStrike.

Mark F : BiA: HH ... unless the question actually means what game have I played the most in which case it would probably be World of Warcraft. No need for an intervention however, I kicked that habit over a year ago.

Michael B: WoW... but I did beat the addiction.

Evan E: Counter-Strike. Unlike Justin, I do the owning - I especially enjoy beating Don. I also like to toot my own horn.

Mark K : Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Spent a good 120 hours or so.

Erik A : Countless, irredeemable hours of my life sunk into, yep, you guessed it, World of Warcraft. I've been clean for almost a year now, but I still get flashbacks.

Andrew W : World of Warcraft seems the logical guess, but Diablo II and Quake III get big boosts from 2-week LAN parties in high school.

Patrick D : Well, one of my characters in City of Heroes clocked in at over 300 hours. If you're looking at single player, the latest count I can remember is 120 hours for Final Fantasy XII.

Aaron N : It would have to be Final Fantasy VII. And most of that was probably spent trying to breed those damn chocobos for a black one.

Jason R : Starcraft, all through Middle School and High School. A good 4-5 years.

Simon H : In one sitting: Golgo 13 (NES) for 32 hours straight. (Still didn't beat the final level) Overall: tied between Doom and the original Unreal Tournament.

James C : Years of my life have been lost to Counter-Strike.

Patrick B : Star Wars Galaxies, about 14 hours a day for 3 months straight right after it launched. No.... I'm not joking. If it was socially acceptable to still live in my parents basement and play video games all day at my age, then this post wouldn't exist .....

Graeme T : I've lost hundreds and hundred of hours to Quake.

ennui : Probably WoW, but I put a heroic 500+ hours into Morrowind and its various expansions.

Don E : Sometimes I wish they would stop taking things so seriously and have fun. And also I wish they would stop shooting me while I try to kill them.

Justin M : Gun feel and accuracy. So many games miss out on having their guns feel fun to use. The guns are often gimped to hide the poor AI and level design. 

Keith S : People who back into angle parking spaces drive me nuts. When they pull out, they are going the wrong way and blocking traffic! I also hate it when people see you walking to your car, then lurk in wait for you to pull out of your space so they can take it. I take great joy in changing diapers, changing CDs, walking back into the store, or otherwise completely wasting these people's time, when they could've simply parked three spaces away and walked their fat asses in faster. Oh wait, you said game pet peeves. Is there a game about parking lots?

Kyle P : For design, awkward player movement (slippery walking, floaty or heavy jumping, etc.). For gamers, people who swear at their teammates in multiplayer games.

James H : Halo. I'm not into it. Because of that, the first reaction of every other gamer is "What? You don't like Halo? Do you even HAVE a penis?"

Pat K : I can shut my mind off for most of the piddling little crap, but dammit if I hate escort missions where the AI just thinks it is a good idea to walk into a rocket. Try after try after try.

Mark F : My #1 pet peeve about design is save points. Let me save the game wherever I want.

My #1 pet peeve about playing on-line games is voice chat. Listening to 12-year-olds talk smack into my headset isn't my idea of a good time.

Michael B: Less trash talk... when you're losing.

Evan E: A poor game due to an attempt at revolutionary game design. Simple games deserve so much more credit than they receive.

Also - watching online players use CAPS lock to get a point across.

Mark K : Pause menus that fade in or take a while to appear. It should be instantaneous. I also hate trash talkers on XBL.

Erik A : Xbox Live 'tards. There's so many of them, it's nearly impossible to play two matches of anything without running into one. Yes, "cockfag" indeed. God, I hate them.
Also, escort missions. They're so God-awful, a mere one of them can turn even a masterpiece like Bioshock to ruin.

Andrew W : Buttons.

Patrick D : After playing the Jericho demo on the 360 last night, my current pet peeve is companies using the God of War "press this button now" gameplay to the extreme, often in ways that is so frustrating it makes you quit the game.

Aaron N : Breeding chocobos.

Any game that requires me to find all the hidden items before I can see the true (canonical?) ending. (I'm looking at you, 'Warrior Within').

Jason R : Non-aggressive players in multiplayer games.

Simon H : Quit telling everyone that [insert recently-released game title here] is A) better/worse than Halo; and B) not as good as it could have been of only they had implemented [insert feature from the last game you played here].

James C : I don't particularly like the way the camera follows every little bump the character traverses while playing WoW. I would expect it to be more fluid like those camera rigs that are actually used in movie production.

Patrick B : Voice chat in games. Swearing nonstop and acting tough still won't cover up the fact that you have a 12 year olds voice.

Graeme T : Design wise, I can't stand when levels are cluttered with stuff you can get tripped up on, or stuck on. So annoying.

ennui : Bad endings.

Don E : No, but I am a pack rat. So, yes.

Justin M : No collections.

Kale M : Joe Satriani music

Keith S : Dust.

Kyle P : Not consciously, but I've acquired a decent music collection over the years.

James H : DVD's, vinyl records, tarot cards, antique keys, bad habits

Pat K : Only the coolest Video game, movie, and television related figurines. They're not dolls dammit.

Mark F : pr0n

Michael B: I collect... games?

Evan E: Air.

Mark K : Music. I have something like 3500 records. I stopped counting a long time ago.

Erik A : Overtime pay? Ha! Ha ha! Ha ha... Awww....

Andrew W : Games! 350 and counting in 10 years of owning my own and not borrowing from my grandpa.

Patrick D : I've gone through a number of collections in the past and am trying to stop collecting things. Right now, though, I am still a packrat and have a large collection of every computer and video game I've ever bought.

Aaron N : Monkies. They're hard to find, though.

Jason R : Shot Glasses!

Simon H :  Ex-girlfriends. And action figures.

James C : I collect as much stuff as I can get my hands on for the Myst Saga. I have paper back versions of all three books, a combined copy called the Myst Reader, several copies of each game for both PC and Mac, most of the Soundtracks, Makings of, and still looking for in game props such as outfits and the Moiety Dagger that Jason O'Connell has

Patrick B : I've been known to have a 1 or 2 Alien and Predator statues.

Graeme T : I collect all my receipts, but not for any particular reason. I think my mom gave me the trait.

ennui : Dunnies , Magic: the Gathering cards, video games

Don E : Yogurt-covered raisins are pretty cool.

Justin M : Chile con Queso

Kale M : Coca-Cola

Keith S : Double Stuf Oreos and red wine! The breakfast of champions!

Kyle P : Goldfish crackers, either plain or cheddar.

James H : Tzatsiki and pita chips

Pat K : Baked Ritz or Wheat Thins + Sweet Tea

Mark F : Popcorn

Evan E: Well, my favorite snack happens to be the best snack in the world: Pop-Tarts. If you are going to have a favorite, it might as well be the best.

Mark K : Nature Valley Oats 'n Honey granola bars. I also like yogurt.

Erik A : Creamsicles. Also, if you take Stephen Colbert's Americone Dream and top it with some Cinnamon Toast Crunch, you have a bowl of pure awesome.

Andrew W : Twizzlers Nibs.

Patrick D : Chocolate covered almonds.

Aaron N : Goldfish. I could make every meal of the day Goldfish.

Jason R : Sunkist, lots of it.

Simon H : Cheetos - too bad I can never eat them again. (But that's another story.)

James C : Sour Cream and Onion Pringles = Crack

Patrick B : Combo's (pizza flavored of course).

Graeme T : Two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

ennui : Wasabi peas
