Life Drain

Nooooooooooooo……

The timer tells me that 10 hours have elapsed.

How is it possible that I have done this to myself. Just think what I could have done with those 10 hours!!! Bruce Willis would have massacred multiple commando units. Jack Bauer would have saved America about 5 times. Neil Gaiman would have written some delightfully twisted story.

Me?

I played Dragon Age.

I don’t know if this is some grand achievement, to play a game for 10 hours in only 3 days, or a sign that I am a very sad human being.

It’s not all bad. I finished my work for the weekend. My wife hasn’t complained about my gaming (yet). I got a lot of thinking done while I played. I even made some necessary tweaks to my game design.

But still, 10 hours down to a videogame. And what’s worse: the same stats screen that tells me 10 hours have ticked away also says that I am only 9% of the way through.
