    im guilty of spending a good hour a day on here at least, probably more if its a busy release day!

    without this forum id know of very few good games and would spend frustrating hours on the appstore searchin thru new stuff and wondering if its any good!

    TA has cost me a fortune but may have saved me a bit of coin to ;)

    TA is a valuable resource for me, I personally tap the developer end of TA more than I play games.

    Yeah, it's pretty weird. I was actually noting just last night that I had spent far more time reading the forums here than playing the games I learned about on the forums. Glad to hear I'm not the only forum dork out there. Seriously though, I doubt I would have stumbled across most of my favorite games if it weren't for TA. Can't wait for Red Conquest. Blue Attack was the first game I read about here, and it's still in my top 5.

    I am completely addicted to searching for new games. I soend at least an hour or two on this forum each day. I do play the games I buy, but I might be too focused on finding the next great game.

    It's a bit much, but how does the average person find anything on the app store ?

    It is a great site so what the heck ! :)


    I have bought 200+ apps in the last 2-3 months (new toy)

    I try to list all the games I want and if I still want them in 3-4 days, I pick them up. (some I just grab instantly of course) This increases my time on TA looking at reviews...etc help me decide. Oh well :)

    Haha this has happened to me as well. I've become sort of a bargain hunter! To me, looking for good deals and great games is all part of the fun :).

    Exactly. There's less than a handful of people for me in real life (and one of them is my mum gasp!)

    Btw 600 posts finally :eek:
