So I very unwisely took some time after my booking meeting today to relax and play some ps3. Just picked up a pretty awesome game Demon's Soul. The review was right - this game is hard as hell. It's going to take a while to beat. A few people online have said it took them about 50 hours. 50 hours seems like a long time till you consider another great RPG, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Having played a bit of it back when I had my Xbox 360 I believe it when the review stated the game contained 200 hrs of game play. Thats a lot of slaying evil and questing for the thieves guild. If you started playing January 1st and played for an hour a day you'd be done on July 19th. I already feel bad spending time playing video games when I've got work to do, a house to clean, a girl to spend time with, etc. So I got thinking what could I accomplish if I spent an hour a day for 7 months working on something?
I came up with this list.
1.) Learn to teach Yoga
2.) Learn Chinese
3.) Watch the original Star Wars Trilogy 33 times
4.) Watch all 3 extended versions of the Lord of Rings 17.5 times
5.) Bake 100 chocolate cakes
6.) Do 12,000 pushups if you averaged 1 push up a minute
7.) Do 24,000 push ups if you averaged 2 push ups a minute
8.) Walk approximately 600 miles
I could go on an on. Point being you can do a lot of productive shit other then spending 200 hours in front of the TV. Notice however that missing from the list is the ability to be a level 100 mage with a flaming death sword or the ability to throw chi balls. Maybe if you listened this guy you could, but I kind of doubt it.
