Nowhere in that post did it say that that player didn't rack the 250 hours within the course of a whole year even. You immediately jumped into conclusion with the assumption that the guy spent 250 straight hours playing ffxii yet you call others "elitists"...very funny.

 

Get the log out your eye first!

 

 

Sarcasm meter = fail.

Seriously though, I can't imagine spending 250 hours on a game, no matter how spread-out those hours are. That's, like... 20-25 normal-length games. Or almost 100 books. Heck, just for comparison's sake, that's the entire length of an eight-season TV show on DVD - times two. Just think about all of the interesting stuff he could have been doing if he spent even half of that time learning a new hobby, or experiencing some other intellectual activity (like reading), or hanging out with friends, or - gasp! - going outside.

To put it another way: Do you really think that spending 250 hours meticulously doing every single little thing in a single game is an indicator of a stable, let alone remotely interesting, personality?

 

I've played cod4 online since it launched in nov 2007 and still log in randomly every now and then to play especially when my friends call me up. I now have approximately 14 days in the game. So that makes you a better person than me right? EPIC FAIL.

Whether watching TV (which I rarely do) or reading books or Other "interesting stuff", everyone has what they do to entertain themselves. If the guy in question, enjoyed FFxii that much, then congrats to him. He actually got his moneys worth. I actually have a save in ffxii with 125 hours and a second playthrougfh with 150 hours because I missed the zodiac spear on the first playthrough. I could also say the fact that you'll spend all those hours watching TV means you're probably a fat slob. See how that works?

So you judge people based on what they do for entertainment? Good luck with your life. I chooose not to judge anyone till I've met them or listened to what they have to say and if you posts were a determinant of your real life attitude, I won't consider you too high on the "good people" meter because pre-judging is the root of many problems in society.
