..time to finish a game? I've had games take years to finish. For example GTA San Andreas I have savegames from 2006-2008, and I still have not finished it. Stalker took darn near a year for me to finish. And here I am nearing the finish of Fallout3. A game I started October 31st 2008. Is it me or do some games just take a very long time to finish?

Never mind the fact that I've got 20+ games on my playlist. I'm sure many of you also have similar lists. A key factor is this: as unbelievable as it may seem...its time.

Not game time, time to get around all the games coming out all the time. I get maybe a couple hours a day to game, with maybe 4 a day on weekends. That's 14 hours. Of course probably 6 of that is Flight Simulator and tweaking. That gives a solid eight hours a week to finish some of these beasts. Some of these games are just so massive in scope (fallout3) that it makes sense with time like that it could take a year to finish. Although I really am enjoying it, it almost is a burden to have to finish. For this reason i'm really starting to like the 10 hour game. Say COD4, that was 6-8 solid hours of fantastic gaming. Or Warhead, that was a perfect length for a game. I'd never be able to play Wow with this kind of time.

So, how much time, on average, do any of you take to finish a long game?

Now that furloughs have started here in LA, CHP and HP are out in force and they want to take there maniditory days off out on your wallet. I narrowly escaped one CHP, only to have another "strangely" appeared on the onramp ahead of me. I tucked in behind, so he had nothing, but watch your mirrors people.

Just venting here. Recently one of my best officers was banned for unauthorized brother access to his account, who procedded to get the mods inflamed in this board or that. I don't know what happened, but this place is the most censored and moderated places that I've ever been to. Is it really neccesary to do that?
