| Re: Interesting Article My Bro-in law sent me On average, 10,000 hours of video games played, for a 21 year old American. That seems like a rather high amount... but if you assume 16 years of playing games, that's less then 2 hours a day. |

I've often spent a couple of hrs researching a certain idea (be it profession, class combination, money making idea) in WOW related websites, then a couple of more hours (sometimes on a daily basis) executing those ideas. Makes me wonder what could be achieved if similar level of effort was put toward more irl rewarding ventures. | |
