This is gonna be an obscenely huge post probably. orz
When it comes to robbing me of my time... pretty much every MMO I've ever played. That's the point with those, though, isn't it? They want your soul~
Worst offenders...
Rift - I haven't played in over a year, but for the two or three years I spent playing, a lot of time was put into this game. Once I found a guild to raid with, it was pretty much game over for my free time, lol (no pun intended, if that even counts as a pun). I had one of those obnoxious raid schedules that was like, four times a week for three or four hours a go. I enjoyed it at first, until I joined up with a VERY strict guild that demanded you ask permission for bathroom breaks during normal non-raid playtime (wtf???) and would dock your DKP (I hate DKP systems ughhh) if you couldn't stay for the entire raid or couldn't find a replacement if you had to leave early. THE HORROR.
Elder Scrolls Online - Not to the extent of my obsession with Rift, but I did spend a LOT of time crafting. I'm happy I never actually checked the little counter thing that keeps track of how many hours you spend ingame, because it consumed my life for a while there.
Ragnarok Online - My relationship with this game is... complicated. I look back on it fondly, but my history with it wasn't so fun *in the moment* as I was GMing a private server for a good portion of the time I was playing and I stressed myself out to the extreme. I have this problem where I put helping other people above taking care of myself, and that tendency was at its absolute worst while I was playing/GMing/modding this. Buuut, I made some great friends while I was playing, so all drama aside I wouldn't change it if I could ♥
As for non-MMO "normal" games, I still have a pretty extensive list. I'll try to weed out the worst offenders yet again...
The old Monster Hunter games for PS1 took up a load of my time, seeing as my father has a huge collection of CDs and I was determined to see which monsters would come out of every single one of them. It was fun and honestly, if the games weren't so crappy, I'd like to play something like that again. It was exciting, finding out which random monsters would show up
My tiny self loved it.
Persona 4 - You couldn't pry me away from this once I got into the swing of it. It was my first Persona game and honestly the Persona games are the ONLY ones that I actively enjoy grinding in. I hate grinding and I'm a huge baby about it normally but the P4 cast and environments and story were all just SO GOOD.
I scheduled my life around Animal Crossing GC when it first came out (I was like 12, didn't have much else going on anyway). Animal Crossing New Leaf, though, is definitely LOADS worse due to the portability factor ;P I don't even need to explain my addiction to New Leaf. Y'all feel my pain, I'm sure.
I spent an outrageous amount of time playing Dragon Quest VIII even though I never finished it (lol) and when I was super young, Final Fantasy VII was my first RPG and thus became my favorite; I'm so attached to it and I get all sentimental and do playthroughs once a year or so just to relive the game that got me into gaming.
Tales of Xillia 1 and 2 were other RPGs I poured tons of time into, and I plan to replay them both, so there goes even MORE time. But it'll be worth it ;D I love the characters and story of both, even if they tug at the heartstrings (or especially because of that...) and they both have replay value so I'm looking forward to the day I get to play through them again, even though I already have a massive backlog.
Skyrim but only once HEAVILY modded. The base game is so boring to me that I gave up on it entirely and only was able to revisit it years later, once I'd discovered the joy that is fan-made mods. So many of the vanilla characters and missions are bland as hell. I don't feel any attachment to them or any emotion when story stuff happens, which is saying something because I get teary about commercials, for god's sake. But then you get mods like Inigo (khajiit companion) that make even the most annoying parts of the game so entertaining. And there are entire areas like Moonpath To Elseweyr and some other massive player-created expansion whose name escapes me... I mean, you have to sift through all the disgusting bikini-armor and/or nude mods that neckbeards vomit out into the internet, but there are some real gems out there that make it all worth it.
Dragon Age Inquisition is taking up a lot of my time nowadays - or at least it was, until my partner's file corrupted and he lost everything, which scared the hell out of me. I haven't played in a little over a week because I'm terrified I'm going to lose all the time I put into it, haha. I gotta figure out how to backup my saves (or do the cloud saving thing - I have it for the PS4) before I immerse myself in it again.
There are sooo many more but I've gone on for long enough. I'll probably be back with more later :x Video games are pretty much my biggest hobby so, yeah.

Animal Crossing GCN: I spent ages on this, I was a kid and took a lot of what it said and did to heart. Sometimes I'd put my character in his bed and then leave the gamecube on, turn the tv off and go to bed myself instead of turning the game off cause I thought the game really would keep playing while I was sleeping (which it kinda did but not like anything was gonna happen really) I'd also do it because I knew the second I woke up I'd jump up to play the game again.
Mario Party 3: That was like the best in the series imo. Not that others weren't awesome but this one just really got me. It was the first time the series had really changed at all since MP1 & 2 had basically all the same mini games just with different features. Plus this was my first introduction to Waluigi & Daisy who I both shipped as otp and still love them both to date. I literally used Waluigi so much in that game... but now I favor Daisy much more.
Mario Kart Wii: Played the hell out of this thanks to this being the first one with good wifi (since MKDS had it but it was bad) I played MK7 and now 8 a lot as well but I think MKWii might hold the record for most time spent on it even by the time MK8 is succeeded by something new.
Fallout 3: OOOHHHH MY GOD. I was such a terrible teen. Like I literally missed nearly all of October in my senior year in hs because I skipped school to play this all day and night. It ruined my sleep cycle and I stayed in for weeks. It took me some time to actually explore the whole map but October 09 was the worst of it haha I've never played a game that seriously and I can't see it happening again anytime soon. Before this came out I had wished for a game that was an exploration sort of game that was in a post nuclear war world, then 2 years later this came out and i became obsessed. It was pretty much the only game other than GTAIV that got played on my 360. I just cannot explain how influential that game was and how it was just so perfect for what I wanted and needed at the time.
Sims 3 (PC): I blew this game up. Wow, I played in like 8 generations of family, added on to all the buildings, added on to every single empty lot, made gigantic families for the neighbors and made this the most data heavy game I've played on my comp ever. I got so particular that I even started giving the city and my sims + their house old fashion designs, then worked my way up to post war style, then 1960's, 70's, 80's, 90's and future. I did it all without those Decade DLC packs since they hadn't come out yet, but when that DLC came out I got that too, which was perfect timing since I was bored of my futuristic sim family/city, so we wrapped back around and used the future technology but with the old style DLC and colors so it still was like the 22nd century but with 1970's colors and fashion. One of my favorite things was how I needed 2 LARGE lots and 1 medium lot for cemeteries because so many Sims had died in my family and in the city throughout the time I played (8-9 gens yo!), even then they were filled to the brim and I started preparing another lot for graves. But by that point I myself was slowing down on playing because I had spent about 5 months solid on it, the game crashed and it was all deleted. I wasn't too irritated cause it had a good run. My rationale for the game ending so abruptly was that my great x6 grand daughter who's career was "Leader of the Free World" aka the President royally screwed up and started a nuclear war that obliterated the city and what not, so that's why I can't go back and play LOL
I could probably go on and on about others (and that sims game i had) but there's a few lol

Sweet list! I really like your animal crossing gcn story :3
It seems you have had a lot of fun
I plan to try out sims in the future

Dragon Age Inquisition is totally worth it, if you have time to put into it! I'm enjoying it so far, but I know a lot of people who've lost 150 hours to that game just doing all the optional stuff, lol - not sure how long the main campaign is but it's probably not very short either. There are TONS of sidequests - not all are mandatory but some are really rewarding, and the character-related quests add a lot of depth to your party members. My partner was telling me how he wasn't interested in the game at all but after a couple days of watching me play he decided to start his own file as well, haha. It doesn't really require knowledge of the previous games either, which is nice for people who don't want to go back and play those.

Persona Persona PERSONA!
3 and 4! Persona 4 was my first and I played it ALL the time. I have beat it twice and when I travel anywhere I take my vita and play Golden (my 3rd play through.) I have also beaten Persona 3 twice and have started a third time. I play that off and on too. I love everything about these games. I hardly ever tire of grinding because the characters and environments keep it interesting Also, people hate on Persona 3 sometimes saying how flat the characters are. They are as flat as you make them. True, they aren't as fleshed out as Persona 4 characters but if you talk to them enough you see the nuisances in their personalities. I love Akihiko personally.
Dangan Ronpa 1 and 2
I can't tell you how much time I clocked. Once I got a hold of Dangan Ronpa 1 I played it til I beat it. I think it took me a week and that was with classes and a part time job. So I had zero social life while playing. I love these games and characters.
Zero Escape-Virtue's Last Reward
I dove head first into this game. I played it in college and was so in love. It was my first visual novel style game and I realized how much these games fit me. I adored the story and the surprises around every corner. Some of the puzzles were challenging but always rewarding. AND THE CHARACTERS! Just go play this game. Please! 999 is a good one too. It came out before this one.
Animal Crossing!
I played NON-STOP when it first came out. I eventually got bored and stopped playing for a while but I just re-set everything last month and I'm finding the re-discovering and re-building process awesome. It feels new to me again, especially now that I have found this forum. Before my re-set I had no one to play ACNL with and now there are tons willing to trade and play with me in game. I love it!
Those are really my big ones. As a kid I played Kingdom Hearts a lot but I didn't get super into gaming until my senior year of high school. My boyfriend, now husband, opened my eyes to all different types of games. He showed me how big the gaming industry was and that there is something for everyone.

Thanks
I play it everyday again now. I have learned a lot of new things about the game too (I didn't even understand paths the first time around) so that's what REALLY makes it feel fresh.
I've always gotten addicted to anything with leveling elements like the typical RPG. I'm really bad when it comes to MMO's, so I try to stay away from them these days because I get way too carried away with them when I start.
Worst offenders throughout my life would probably be:
World of Warcraft Started playing it when Burning Crusade was released, stopped playing a few months into Pandaria because my laptop broke and my back up wouldn't run it properly. I'm thankful my laptop broke because I spent almost all of my free time on WoW, which had a negative impact elsewhere.
Runescape I don't remember how old I was at the time but I started playing it when it was still 2D sprites and there was no members section. I still remember getting excited when 'members content' was announced. I don't remember when/why I stopped playing but it was a good amount of time into the period that it became 3D and 'classic Runescape' was discontinued entirely.
FlyFF This was around the time between Runescape and WoW where I was looking for a new MMO in 3D that I didn't have to pay for (because I didn't have a credit card and my parents wouldn't pay for a sub). I tried a lot of MMO's but this was the one I stuck with. I just remember flying in it being awesome.
Pokemon is probably the only 'addicting game' I've played all my life. It was way worse when Red and Blue first got released though, I spent practically all day every day playing it. I was one of the lucky kids to have a Game Boy AND a Game Boy Color as well, so I could do everything myself since I had both versions.
These days I'm not as bad with it but when I start playing a Pokemon game, I do still get a little obsessive.
Tetris I'll literally sit and play that all day.
Worst offenders throughout my life would probably be:
World of Warcraft Started playing it when Burning Crusade was released, stopped playing a few months into Pandaria because my laptop broke and my back up wouldn't run it properly. I'm thankful my laptop broke because I spent almost all of my free time on WoW, which had a negative impact elsewhere.
Runescape I don't remember how old I was at the time but I started playing it when it was still 2D sprites and there was no members section. I still remember getting excited when 'members content' was announced. I don't remember when/why I stopped playing but it was a good amount of time into the period that it became 3D and 'classic Runescape' was discontinued entirely.
FlyFF This was around the time between Runescape and WoW where I was looking for a new MMO in 3D that I didn't have to pay for (because I didn't have a credit card and my parents wouldn't pay for a sub). I tried a lot of MMO's but this was the one I stuck with. I just remember flying in it being awesome.

World of Warcraft is the only game I've been properly addicted to that I can remember. I started playing it when I was 12 (back in 2005) and stopped playing it when I was 17 (at the start of 2010). I was probably the most addicted during 2007 - 2009. I would just think about playing WoW all day at school and play it as soon as I could when I got back home, haha. I quit during the Wrath of the Lich King expansion as I just started to lose interest in the game and a lot of my friends had quit. I played the Cataclysm 10 day trial thing they had on my account and my ex-boyfriend used to let me play on his account so I had something to do while he was at work (this was around the start of 2011) when I was visiting him (long distance relationship). Never had the desire to buy Cataclysm, but I always feel nostalgic about Vanilla WoW and The Burning Crusade expansion. If the game was still like that I would definitely still be playing it!
I've tried to get into world of warcraft but I don't think it's the game for me. But I felt like that when i played runescape for a time, where all I wanted to do was play rs.

I totally just saw this reply lol but I can still suggest some games!
Honestly, A New Beginning is a pretty good game, but it disappointed me as a "veteran" Harvest Moon player. There were some cool new features, but I found the game to be extremely easy. Some HM games I really loved were Friends of Mineral Town on the GBA and A Wonderful Life for GameCube. I never got bored when playing those two. I have never played Animal Parade on the Wii, but it is a version I'm looking into trying because I've read a lot of players really liked it and it looks like a good game. I also loved Harvest Moon DS Cute (just regular HM DS is super glitchy), Back to Nature, and Save the Homeland. I've never played Magical Melody for GameCube, but everyone I know that's played it has loved it.
But since you haven't played Harvest Moon games before, A New Beginning would be a good game to start with! The tutorials can be super long and boring, but once you're done with those, the game really opens up and you can do so much. If you wanted to get into Harvest Moon games, I suggest trying out A New Beginning and seeing how you feel. Then if you like the game, maybe try some older versions. I personally love so many of the older versions of HM. Even just the ones for regular DS.
I hope this helped and if you try out some Harvest Moon, I hope you enjoy it! Sorry for not replying sooner :~)
It's all good haha. Thanks for the heads up for what I should try out first! ;D

Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 seriously consumed my high school years. I beat Catherine like 6 times. I usually only play through a game once or twice.
