When is Iceland over?

damn wardog, chill out with the math scrutiny. At approx 10 hrs most days he could have rustied in about 3 months. Put away the calculator bruddah

by **HurleY** » Tue Jun 26, 2012 9:13 pm

wardog is right.

10 hours a day is a biased, exagerrated number.

Rusty in 3 months, someone can rusty in a summer's time.

BOSS you sound like a hater.

by **lefty** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:40 am

A 3 month rusty is playing over 5 hours a day. To say thats 10 hrs most days barely seems like an exaggeration. I'm sure some days were less or perhaps he took some days off, which were compensated with 10 hour marathons or 5 hr morning and nights...who knows. Just sayin there wasnt much point picking over it, just like there was basically no point for this post besides to get me closer to my single star. :clueless:

5 1/2 hours a day is not 10 hours a day. An exagerration for sure.

40 hours a week in the game for a rusty in 3 months time.

Either way that's a shit load of time in this game in a short period of time.

Das beast mode speaks the truth. Tp comes before family, friends, girlfriends, boy friends(for seb), work, hygiene and anything else you can think of. If anybody puts anything else first you are not a true pitter!

Honestly 40 hours a week is a lot. I hit it on demo once, also did 80ish hours in 2 weeks on my WiKiD. Well probs 75ish. That is when I had time off and nothing else to do.

The only people who could hit rusty in 3 months must not come to the forum, to much crying and new high standards to stick 2 to stay motivated for all the time.

by **eldawg51** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:21 pm

You guys don't know how to beast. I used to put in 5-10 hours daily and a lot of 30 hour weekends. 26 hours was my longest session where all I got up for was to eat or go to the bathroom. Haha I wouldn't do that now, I actually have a life which I prefer over playing THAT much. Still wish I could do a couple of hours a day, which isn't that much for me.

by **lefty** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 12:53 pm

I've had marathons like that in HoN and dota...maybe even cs. I'm not sure I can handle much more than about 6-7 hrs of tankpit a day and that's pretty much forcing it.

by **eldawg51** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:53 pm

6 hours can fly by like it's nothing. Man I can't believe I used to play that much.

by **lefty** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:55 pm

Yea I know the feeling. Its sorta like an athletes second wind. But its a gamers elevated state of vegetation. Like last night, I played nearly 4 hours. The first 30 minutes were crawling, then suddenly, BAM its 2am. lol

by **Jordann** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 1:55 pm

only game I could play that long was halo, and id have some prettty crazy marathon sessions of that. I remember one time in the span of like 18 hours me and my team played I think 20 matches on gamebattles.

by **eldawg51** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 2:00 pm

Man video games can be addicting. Never could get into Halo, I played it two or three times. I remember playing BF so long I'd go to bed, wake up and forget what day it was. Crazy times man. I like to sleep at night these days.

by **Jordann** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 2:08 pm

I don't care enough about these tank games to put in a real marathon sessions. ive had a few 5-6 hour sessions in utanks but only when we had huge battles that would last 3-4 hours a piece. Other then that i play for like an hour and im bored.

by **eldawg51** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 2:27 pm

If we can get those 3-4 hour battles in TP this game would really take off and activity would go through the roof.

by **lefty** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 3:00 pm

There was a 3 hr battle last night in apps el. You missed out!

by **eldawg51** » Wed Jun 27, 2012 3:06 pm

I heard. If my priorities were messed up and I put la gf < le TP, I'd have been there. Good thing the game isn't going anywhere. Few more weeks and she will be training as a casino dealer. Watch out top 3 here I come.

by **BOSS7** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:03 am

Whoever came in last night with the" 50 hours in 4 days" seriously needs a life. I'm guessing you're unemployed and overweight.

by **eldawg51** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 8:10 am

Or out of school for the summer? Kids still might play ya know.

by **lefty** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 11:21 am

It was idolize BLUNTZ. Him and BASEDGOD have been playing at a greater rate than even DasCondor, Kain, myself or anyone I've seen so far. Dear lord. Easily 10+ hrs a day so far.

by **eldawg51** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 12:09 pm

I think BLUNTZ is on a really bad connection or something. I shoot him 3-1 sometimes and I can land and shoot him before his homer hits me 1-1. That doesn't happen with everyone else.

Bad parenting letting your kids sit on the computer 10 hours a day.

If you're over the age of 15 you should be working or going to a sport camp not playing tankpit 50 hours in 4 days.

by **eldawg51** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:45 pm

You have a good point. I guess I was referring to someone like me back in college days when I had an abundance of free time. I am forced to agree with you, boss.

Edit: pretty sure most people active on here are older than 18.

by **HurleY** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 5:16 pm

it was our decision to play games when we wanted. Parenting has nothing to do with it, if anythnig they were expected to give us videogames for birthdays and holidays. :clueless:

by **eldawg51** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 6:52 pm

Haha, really? I worked for all my stuff like that as a kid. I saved every quarter I came across for seven months for a Super NES. My parents never bought me one video game, I spent most of my time playing baseball, football, or basketball, organized or pickup games. My brother got me a Playstation when I was 19 and I sold it at 22. I haven't owned a game system since, hence why I had so many hours playing BF from 2002-2007, but again, college. I was on my own.

Sorry Hurley, gonna have to agree with Boss. As a teen or younger, playing video games should be way less than a 40 hour a week privilege, in my opinion. Couple hours a day is fine over the summer. Teaching a kid a good work ethic will serve them well into their adult years. Had I had a lot of that time back I wish I'd habe spent some of it reading more.

Thinking back to being 14 - 15 years old, other then being asleep by a certain hour my mom didn't care about me playing ffxi for almost 40 hours a week. I played in leagues in multiple sports through the year (soccer, hockey, baseball) so I was active through those years. Whenever my mom or stepdad would say something to me my comeback would be "well rob (older bro) is out all the time and you don't like that either so.."

If I ever brought a child into this twisted world we live in, I would not fit into one of the four categories that's for sure.

I would let me child make his own mistakes and see if he could figure out most things on his own. I found out that I have to learn everything the hard way. Not so much since that realization but I believe you can't force anyone even your on son/daughter to do anything you want them to.

by **eldawg51** » Fri Jun 29, 2012 4:12 am

I'm not sure I'm familiar with the 1 of 4 categories, please explain?

Are you talking about life experiences or instilling values into your kids? Kids, like everyone, need boundaries. I believe they need taught what and more importantly why. Kids are smart, so I think if you tell kids why, then they will understand and listen better.

by **BOSS7** » Fri Jun 29, 2012 11:22 pm

back to the topic crazy maze also sucks I'll see you guys when Des or Rox is around. I don't base my self worth on how many hours I have in a video game.

by **987** » Fri Jun 29, 2012 11:25 pm

i'm really curious as to how both crazy maze and iceland suck in your opinion, considering they are exact opposites.

maybe being raided is what sucks? :\

by **DasCondor** » Sat Jun 30, 2012 12:08 am

i'd rather be raided any day in cm vs iceland lol i dislike both as well

cm , need to have missiles on unless you want to run out of homers quickly besides that no beef with it "edit"+ i have to use 150% or higher to tele where i want to

ice, way too much water and map maintenance to keep it fun and raids are gruesome

by **HurleY** » Sat Jun 30, 2012 1:51 am

right quick at where this topic's gone.
