there should be a health warning with AH.


ok, so this last few weeks I've had little to no work and have been lying around doing nothing for most of my time.

but on checking my stats this tour, I have spent 70 hours playing AH in 15days!

thats almost 20% of my total time this month, not counting sleep, eating and girlfriend. taking an average of 12 hours sleep a day, this means i have played AH for (approx.) 70 hours out of 100 hours awake!

thats sickening.

do i have grounds to sue HT? :p there should be a health warning.

MAN! where do the hours go?

how much can you overdose on AH when your 'in the zone'?

this month i have gone to sleep after a long session, dreamnt of LA7s with alt coming for me, then woken up, smoke and coffee, back on AH.


I'm definitely off for as few days at least. If not only to see my better half a bit more.

i know one thing for sure: Ain't no sunshine when she's gone......


anyone else ever get this bad?

I dont want to know how many hours I've spent on total...

I would go so far as to say that it has helped in a way to strengthen my relationship with my better half tho.

Spending 100% of your free time with one or the other; AH or your girl is no good. Just gotta find that happy medium and everythings peachy. Oh yeah, maybe I should place "real life" in there somewhere too but thats no fun.

Heck I even let her play once in a while when shes around and I can hear the ack in the distance. (keeps her occupied and the ack down) The few times I use vox or have it on, I let her talk on range... Very entertaining to hear the responces.

Like locking yourself in the room by yourself playing Aces High while she watches Sex and the City by herself in the other room wondering why you care more about a stupid geeky game more than her was a good move.  Sweet game playa'

I remember when I started some of the guys there had flown for close to 10 yrs. I was like.."Losers..man how can someone end up like that?!"  

 Well..its now 9 yrs I have in flight sims, between AW,WW2OL,and AH. Do I feel like a loser? No..but I have lost track of the time. I keep telling myself I should go find something else to occupy my time, but when you find other adults, who still like to play with Tonkas in the sandbox, its tuff to say no.

 Loser? Well..maybe a little :)

a big smile came upon my face and I knew I wasnt the only one

Woa! There's your problem right there. Trim down to 6 or 7 like the rest of the world and you've got another 5-6 hours to play AH.

Well, OK, 4 hours to play AH and 2 to do whatever it is you do with that girlfriend.
