How much combined total time of your life do you believe has been spent gaming?

It's impossible to know this for sure, obviously, but try to think about it for a while. Many of us have several games that we sunk 100+ hours into and that can be checked on Steam, the 3DS, the Switch and some older games also keep track of your playtime.

By adding the combined total hours I've spent playing my most played games on the Switch, the 3DS and on Steam alone plus Super Smash Bros Melee for the GC which keeps track of your total play time, I have at least 3000 hours of lifetime spent playing. 3000 hours is the equivalent of 125 full days.

But then there's all the older games I grew up playing which left no record whatsoever of how much time I've logged into. I've definitely must have spent 100+ hours in games like SMW, SMB3, OOT, ALTTP, Pokémon Red(I've played this game in about 13 different new save files), Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Smackdown vs Raw 2006, FIFA 2004, FIFA 2005, PES 5, GameCube Animal Crossing, F-Zero GX, etc. So that's at least another 1300 hours added which makes about 4300 hours of my life spent gaming. And add the combined total of several other games from my childhood and teenage years and you'll get to the 5000 hours territory.

So I'd say I've spent AT LEAST 5000 hours of my life gaming so far and counting. That's 208 days.

So yeah, at least that amount. Wouldn't be surprised if I had spent a considerable higher amount of that time instead. But I'll never know.

What about you?
