Mar 8 2009Wow: Over 64,000 Years Of Halo 3 Played

I wonder how many years will came up if you add up the hours of all people playing Tetris

I haven't played Halo in a while. This story has inspired me to hit up some matchmaking, plus I haven't tried the Mythic maps yet.

Send me an invite, GT is same as name above.

psh, imagine how many hours people crunch in for world of warcraft.

wow insane.

@1 tetris would have a lot. I myself have played a single version of tetris at a single website for..44 hours. except that tetris is played at so many places..its impossible to count.

fake its a total photoshop. fifth

Link to original story doesn't work.

Resolves as:

I'm working on spending that much time commenting on geekologie.com, still a ways to go...

wait a while and QUakelive will take over ! :-)

contact me for a little frag-time

World of Warcraft doesn't matter, it's all about the FPS games. All you do playing WoW is sit around for days on end getting fatter and smoking enough cigarettes to choke a small country. Oh, but you get to dress up in those really "cool" outfits and pretend you aren't the fat slob that sits at home every weekend playing games with your other fat friends that have no lives either.

GG Halo players!! Now go make me a Master Chief cake and post the pics!!

I helped contribute last night. I've probably clocked in around 500 hours since the launch

@17
I doubt there's a big difference between the size of people who play fps games and the size of mmorpg'ers. either way they spend hours on end in dark rooms without moving.

I will admit that the mmorpg people tend to lean a bit to the fantasy side, but on the flip side, fps people tend to be pretty anti social and have a lot of nerd rage

Go Halo 3!

@19

Nerd rage, for sure...

*Reads*

... YAAAAWWWNN

God, Halo. The most over rated game EVER. I played it once and it was ok, nothing really new.

i contributed almost 3 minutes guys... no thanks necisarry... wait, maybe not... darn, i wanted to be a part of this... i played online halo:combat evolved online once but sucked so i gave up :)

Wow i almost forget that halo existed, the game's so boring that I bought a wii

I wonder how those 64000 years of Halo compare to, say, the number of man years expended so far in the pursuit of something actually useful, controlled nuclear fusion for example.

Really?

And how many hours/weeks/years have been spend masturbating to pictures of Dwight from The Office?

Ha!! Gotcha!!!

sif play FPS on a console.

keyboard/mouse ftw

OVERRATED PIECE OF SHIT.

That is all.

low-ball estimate of World of Warcraft gameplay was up around 750,000 years !!!!!!!!!!

Apuesto que The Legend Of Zelda tiene mas de 120,000 horas

Yeahhh.... I hate halo...... maybe it's because I'm not 12 yrs old, i tried playing it a couple of times, and it sucked donkey ballz..... I don't get it, oh well! more Killzone 2 PLEASE!

When will people learn – first person shooters suck hairy salty dog nads. The limited field of field is ridiculous.

Third person adventure games FTW.

thats 64,000 years those guys have spent not getting laid

FAKE!!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. YOu can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max planned to secretly meet Baja in a resturant. They planned to disguise themselves as bikers. Unfortunatley she dressed up as a hot motorcylist, and he dressed as a stupid bicyclist in tight shorts.

would be interesting, how much time peoples spend playing world of warcraft, counterstrike oder starcraft ;)
or minesweeper, solitär, etc

I wonder how many hours people have spent trolling geekologie?

Currently, I can see a few advertisements for millionaire romance site, you are wasting your time in doing such a thing! I have joined more than 10 different sites till now, I know your sites are new established and need more people to join, but you can`t deny only "C e l e b m i n g l e. C 0 M " is the best one. It has been reported by many famous TV shows and it works for only quality singles! Stop advertise for your sites here!!

"To further drive home the point of how huge of a number that is, they mentioned that 64,000 years ago neanderthal walked the Earth and modern man hadn't yet set foot in Asia."

I just love outdated information! Geekologie writer, they discovered that the guy who discovered neanderthal man was a fraud! Get your facts strait man!

Can't someone remove the f*cking annoying spammer?

If only a couple of them start ganging up on the comments GW will be forced to do something.

@36 shut the f*** up already with celeb mingle its fake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@37 Before you bash get *your* facts straight Piltdown man was not neanderthal he was "the missing link" that was a hoax by the professors students that soaked some primate (forget which one) and human bones in tea to make them look aged and buried them for their professor to find.

halo is the best game series ever! I am turning 17 and will always stick with fps (only non fps game I like is dmc). I remember playing doom when I was 3, I kicked my 13 year old cousins ass.
I contributed around 720 hours to that in my 6 months of having halo 3. by the way, i still have a social life and I am not fat.

Alright, try and top this.
I just bought a PS3, right? And everybody knows it sucks total arse, right?
So I take it home, uncover it, take it out to the backyard and run it over in my truck.
And shoot the remains with a .357 Magnum.
Repeatedly.
The End.

Best story ever in the history of ever. :]
