Gaming’s biggest waste of time – have you done worse?

There was a story I read this morning about a gamer, Glen McCracken, who is on a quest to reach level 70 in Modern Warfare 2 without killing anyone.

So far he’s played for 2 hours and has managed 0 kills, 89 deaths and is on level 5. He gets points for capturing domination points, destroying killstreak rewards (sentry gun) and bonus points for finishing the stage.

I am pretty confident in saying he has absolutely no chance of getting to level 70 without killing someone but if he does it could possibly rank up there as the biggest waste of time ever spent in game.

I’m trying to think what my biggest waste of time was in gaming and I am struggling to come up with something solid. I guess my claim to idiotic fame would be my ability to navigate around DM4 in Quake 1 with my eyes closed. But that wasn’t something I spent much time learning how to do, it was more a side effect from the amount of Quake 1 I played than something I set out to do.

So what’s your biggest waste of gaming time?

    I didn’t do it but I think the biggest waste of time is collecting all the feathers or flags in AC

    why?

    But if they get any further let us know so we can show that the Europeans/Americans don’t have a monopoly on weirdness

    sheesh ya. i did that specifically to find out what the mom was going say in ac2.

    the helen keller moment annoyed me, although she does have very appropriate quote:

    Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.

    probably sums up why people do stupid things like collect a 100 feathers.

    I have no idea why anyone would want to put themselves through something like that…

    I just managed to finish the game – and that was with a little help from the guides and a lot of reading!

    The guy probably sucked at MW2 and then thought of this ridiculous idea… This way he can getaway with zero kills and a piss poor k/d ratio.

    Americas Army (PC Game), I could launch an M203 (n00b tube) from the Spawn on this one 2Km-Squared map and hit any of the popular sniping spots.

    Was kinda useful. Also, kinda sad.
