I don't play every day, but there's rarely a day that I'm not tinkering with something SH3-related for at least a couple hours. Obviously I'm in here a lot and I'm always getting ideas about mods I could use or other things I could tinker with on my own.
I tend not to play much during the work week, if only because the temptation to keep going becomes irresistible... and I'll promise myself that I'll save and exit at a reasonable time, but when that time comes I am almost inevitably in some situation in-game where doing so is a very bad idea, and then I'm sitting there until 1 AM trying to sneak away from whatever tight spot I got myself into. That I know this, and still usually fire up the game at least once between Mon-Fri almost every week, probably speaks volumes.
On the weekends when I'm not worried so much about time constraints it's not unusual for me to be playing for anywhere from 6-10 hours straight. A lot of that might be done in real time where I'm not sitting at the PC but up doing other things, only keeping an ear out for any reports of contacts or whatever. That's a new experience for me with games and I'm still getting used to the idea that, with SH3, I can plot a course and leave the game running in real time and not have to be RIGHT THERE eyeballing the map or keeping watch every second that passes. Which is nice! If I'm sitting right there of course and the situation allows for it I'll bump the TC up.
