Wow, this thread got really weird....
anyway, i was hooked on socom as soon as I got dsl, but my mic is messed up, so I just gave up on it. I want to get SocomIII, but I don't really want to buy a new mic. And, I'd say it's ok to play a videogame like crazy, as long as you don't have anything better to do. I usually go to bed around 3am-5am, but when I have work/school, I'm out at 1.
