ThinkTanks seems to suck up a lot of time, doesn't it? How much time do you think you spend playing it on a daily basis?

How many hours per week? I try to play every day, but I just can't get on sometimes. With work, wife and two kids, side business, writing, reading, studying for computer certifications, friends and social functions, I am lucky if I can get in a complete game or two squeezed in. The best times for me seems to be during my lunch hour and late at night when everyone goes to sleep.

My addiction to TT is so bad that I find myself jumping on during work hours just to score a quick goal! So, if you see someone with a funny name jumping onto your scrum game, scoring and leaving in a hit and run hurry, then chances are good that it's your old pal Paisano!

I thought of this question when I kept seeing some of you ALWAYS on TT! Maybe it was just a coincidence, but I doubt that we would actually go on TT at the same time several times a day every day. For example, I almost ALWAYS see someone named CAT in the CTF server!

I mean always! I could jump on early in the morning for a second and there he is, then mid-morning, there he is...lunch time, yep, there's CAT...mid-afternoon, uh huh...CAT! After dinner? Still going! Later in the evening? You betcha! This wasn't just one day, but for weeks!

I guess I'm envious because I can only go on for a few minutes here and there while some of you can afford to spend endless hours playing.

It's no wonder some of you are so frigging good!

What are some other clock sucking addictions you have in life? I think the whole reality TV thang chewed up way too much of my free time!

I am totally sick of everything except the Apprentice. As for sports, I'm a big fan, but I don't waste any time with games except for the final minutes of any important game and prefer to watch the highlights of all the games instead. I like to wait for the post-season to watch entire games, but even then I find myself channel surfing like mad! It's like I have to cram everything I can into my 24 hours!

Obviously, I spend a lot of time on the Internet. Mostly it's because of my job (I'm an IT Manager) and for my side business, plus I just love the web! I am constantly doing research and development on new technologies as well as jumping on PTT!!!

I love movies, but I've decided to watch only those movies that have a good chance of being worth it. I can't afford to waste two hours of my life on a piece of garbage. Shoot, that's a whole lot of TT games I could play instead!!!

Unforunatly, I am a TT addict. My parents have a hard time watching me on the computer now. *Sigh*

Should TT league games be on TV? LOL

I hear ya man!

I try to squeeze in games at work, especially during lunch. Once I finish playing after work, I'll head home and play offline. Since I'm home, I guess that's family time, right? Actually, my 5yo son is getting into the game so that's cool, but I'm trying to limit my playing time so I can really spend some time with the wife and child.

Oh, yard work. That really sucks the time. I have about 1/3 of an acre with only a push lawn mower to cut it with. I'm too cheap to hire a yard boy, so most Saturday's I'm outside cutting the grass. I wish I had a rider.

@Rabban...

I have a 5 year old too (so does TG). My son likes to use the names +, 46 (??? Don't know why), Nicky and Pop (I've tried to explain to him that someone else owns that name but he loves that name for some reason). He hates scrum and prefers battlemode.

He still forgets to change names and will play with one of my aliases!

My son likes "Ninja" the best. We play at home, so he's not gotten into anything besides BM. I was playing solo once and ever since he wants to "do the space one" which is basically fly the UFO.
