Do you put an insane amount of time in your games?

Just as a frame of reference there is 8,760 hours in a year. So when thinking that you've put thousands of hours into a game, think about how many months of your life have been spent in that game. Food for thought.

8,760 hours in a year, that is interesting to memorize.

IMO gaming is quality time though. Only spending time with relatives (or friends that feel bad or need emotional support or something) is more valuable in your free time.

Now work, that's a huge waste of time. I wonder how many hours that'll add up to, and it's going on year after year.

Can u calcluate that, Vagabond? To give sum more perspective.

Oh yeah, definitely, preaching to the quire. Don't think I meant to imply it's time wasted, just interesting food for thought.

Work is most certainly time wasted, unless you just happen to have a super fulfilling job you love such as teacher or scientist or what have you, where you actually WANT to go to work (couldn't we all be so lucky?). And assuming you work a normal 40 hour work week, you're looking at 2,080 hours a year working. What a total waste of time. But at least it funds the good parts I suppose.

Exactly. A scientist, artist, entrepeneur in an exciting niche, or game developer or something. There indeed exist fullfilling great jobs.

Most of us dont have them though. =(

So, you say total time is 8760 hours a year.

Subtract 2000 for work. And what about sleep? Should amount to a lil over 2500 hours.

So there's still 4000 hours left for other stuff (minus boring stuff like getting ready for work and transportation, lunch time at work, personal hygien, buying groceries and cooking food, cleaning the house, going to the dentist or changing tyres on your car... and taking care of your kids if you have any (nightmare, I dont even want to go into that and try to calculate those hours).

I wonder what "fun time" amounts to.

Vagabond, calculate again lol.
