Oh, don't get me wrong, I played the game over the span of a few years. I was just saying that if I were to play the game 24 hours a day, 45 days of my life were spent playing the game. That's only counting the 'in-game' hours. The number of hours I spent in lobbies just chatting is probably at least another 600-700.
I played the game consistently (5 days a week or so) for about 2 years, but once SOCOM 3 came out, my clan kinda split up and a lot of the fun was lost. Then glitchers started to overrun SOCOM II and I had to finally put the controller down.
SOCOM II was the closest I've ever come to gaming addiction. I skipped school many a time because I was up until 5am playing a clan match. I could easily pull 12 hour gaming sessions at my worst point.
Totally worth it, though.
