Oh, good. Finish it. Then play every single other Zelda game.
Then I'll have another person to read any more Zelda missions I may put out here!

..when you post so much on an RP fourm that the Mods give you a mandatory vacation. So to speak of course.
So, what's been a real timesink for you guys then?
kids, Dwarf Fortress, kids, chat. Did I mention kids? Those critters take up incredible amounts of time.
No contest. I've been reading almost every story since February 2010, and I started a community for reasonably well-written fics in December. I add as they come up, and sometimes previous ones. At some point I'll go through my favorites and archive and add a lot of them too.
Speaking of my community, I need to go add a bunch of fics I've collected...
Work, class... I forgot, school is actually kinda hard sometimes? And you have to Do Homework. It's weird.
That, and Minecraft. >_>
Internet, bugging people on the chat, this, and video games. My current obsession right now is actually Dragon Age 2 due in small part to the very good writing. "Apostate prostitutes....apostitutes!! :D"
Internet.
Chatrooms.
This.
Probably not going to be having to worry about the last two wasting all my time anymore depending on things, though.
Specifically the wiki and the gazillion co-writes I've been doing recently.
... Okay, just three co-writes, really, and only as many as two at once. But it still amounts to a lot of time spent on PPC writing, considering how much thinking about them I do even when I'm not actually typing.
I don't think work really counts as a timesink, but my time goes there, too. Work is important.

I play a lot of video games. Lately, I have been playing Megaman X Collection, which contains the six games in that series. I have currently beaten three of the six. Also on the list of games I am playing (I switch from one to the next) are Skies of Arcadia Legends, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time (Master Quest), Megaman Anniversary Collection, Soul Caliber 2, and Team Fortress 2.
When I am not playing video games I tend to read webcomics, meme sites, and the like. I also take walks and play any sort of game you can throw at me.
Up until recently, the biggest timesink I had was Theatre. I was rehearsing or performing every day for a couple of months.
Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Birthday present, and I've been spending way too long playing it.
I've been known to spend hours doing stuff like getting all the hairs on my fuzzy pillow to line up, though, when I'm really bored.

First, the obvious: I work from home as a freelancer, but I'm subcontracted to one company right now, which means I'm effectively on-duty 25/8. If I ever go on a killing spree, it'll be because of that.
The non-work timesink, though, is puzzle games. Specifically, hidden-object/adventure games--definitely a niche thing, which means I don't know anyone else I can talk to about 'em. I can play for twelve hours straight if I'm not careful.
I have all the PC games in the Mystery Case Files series, and I think I'm up to date on Amazing Adventures and Hidden Expedition as well.
Dire Grove is probably my favorite there . . . the Russian blood in me rejoices in death in winter. XD I haven't played Amazing Adventures or Hidden Expedition. Honestly, I'm all over the map; I look for an interesting-sounding story and see what I can find. My all-time favorite is probably Phantasmat.
Amazing Adventures is pretty much a pure HOG with a few other puzzles sprinkled in, no real storyline. The earlier Hidden Expedition games were the same way; they had a storyline with some real potential in Devil's Triangle, but it ended on a "to be continued" and it's been over a year with no sign of the sequel.
Have you looked at the Drawn games?
My original fiction. I have a book that's two scenes away from a complete rough draft. . .
And at least 200,000 words of short fiction, book outlines, and other scribbles which will make no sense until I finish that first book. So what do I spend 90% of my free time working on? Yeah, anything but the first book.
The video game. I spend hours per week. Also webcomics, image sites, and the internet at large.
Offline, Resident Evil. All the games, beginning to end.
Online? Reading all, and I mean all, the awful Resident Evil fanfiction The Pit has to offer... I need a new pillow. Also, Bleeprin.
I think I've read them all now... And thanks for the LP recs. I have a new timesink now, hurraaay.
*gives a couple tablets*
I recommend the Dark Id's Let's Plays of the games, it's hillarious seeing some angry goon tear the games a new hole.
I have a few channels on YouTube I subscribe to that are really good.
If you like the survival-horror genre, Helloween4545 is fantastic to watch, and funny as all get out; he's currently doing an LP of Dead Space 2, but I like his LP of American McGee's Alice as well. For a more lighthearted feel, ScottishDuck17 has a great collection of Ratchet and Clank LPs. The Mad Man and PheonixGG have really good Bioshock and Bioshock 2 LPs, resepectively.
I can't recommend Kikoskia enough. He mainly deals with older games, and has done a fair few RPGs. He's doing Icewind Dale and power Quest at the mo.

There's also my channel, but I haven't recorded anything for months.

I'm hardly what you could call good, mainly due to technical problems. I'm mainly in a lot of co-op videos now, which will be coming up on this channel (yes, I know my friend has an atrocious command of the English language):
