Now that Steam shows you, at a glance, how many hours you've spent on your games...

Post by FlyingPenguin »

It's actually quite horrifying :)

Yeah, I play A lot of Killing Floor 2..... a lot. A WHOLE LOT.

It's my "I have an hour or two to kill" game. They keep adding new content, and there's custom servers out there that add interesting twists, and mastering every class takes time, so that I can honestly say it never grows old. And I'm still trying to prestige some of my least favorite classes as a personal challenge.

And the Call of Duty games? That's mainly single player campaign and zombies coop. I have long since gotten over playing COD PvP multiplayer with randos.

So if you dare, post your hours. If it isn't added yet, you can add your favorites to a shelf in Steam and sort by hours played.

How did you get them to display? Mine doesn't look like that.

Here's mine. I probably have twice the hours listed in Oblivion as I played it from the Disc for years before I bought it on Steam:

Same. Been playing it since 2005 and my wife loves to play it alongside me.

OK, so what am I doing wrong that I'm not seeing the total hours? I don't see any of that when I run Steam.

Do you have a shelf for Favorites on the right panel on the main page of the Library? I did by default. If not you can add it. Then sort by hours played.

It was already like that for me. I didn't have to do anything.

So how do you get it to save a screen shot to share?

I'll take a look when I get home and I'm in front of my gaming rig.

PrtScn key saves a screenshot of the desktop to the clipboard, then you can paste it into MSPaint or Photoshop to crop and save.
