Argh! I'm at my last year at the University and I'm having increasing difficulties finding time to play my adventure games. In May I spent around $400 on adventure games (old and new). So far I've had time to play through 10 of them (out of 40). Thing is, now that School's started again I keep getting projects and assignment thrown in my lap each day. Gah! I've calculated that I'm going to have around 15h worth of gaming time a month until summer (if I'm lucky). Anyone else out there who're experiencing the same?

I really don't play games for long periods of time, so I don't need the time to play them all.

In a day, I play about 6 different games, the time I spend on them range from 15 minutes to one hour.
I'm a flexible gamer.

Well I mostly play games in order to review them, otherwise I don't play all that much anymore. I still need to finish a game or two I bought quite a while back... Simply don't take the time for that anymore. Last game I bought and finished in quickly was Simon the Sorceres 3D - other things I tried, but wasn't really that keep on rushing through them.

No it just sounds like a cross-dressing wizard. Oh well, they're all a bit weird in that respect, I suppose. I mean, why are they so keen on wearing robes, for example? That's just one step away from a dress...:P

Now that sounds like a cheap clone by a French chat de copie.:P

Anyway, I find it's the other way round, really. Actually I've made sure that I've got no more than one game installed on this computer (ADOM), but even that is costing me rather too much time already...
