GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Friday, Jul 24, 2009

I work at a dry cleaners here in Mesa, AZ. There's no air conditioning, the customers are anal, my bosses are ridiculous, and I work crazy hours. I work Monday through Thursday from 9-12, then 3-7:30, Fridays from 9-1, and Saturdays from 12-5, so usually during the week I've taken to either spending time with my girlfriend, hanging out with my guy friends or other people, going out and doing things, or playing video games occasionally. All during my three hour break, or after work.

Now, before I started playing Kingdom Hearts II, whenever Colee wasn't available because of work or school or whatever, I'd normally go hang out with some guy friends or do something else. HOWEVER, as of the last month, I've been playing this game NONSTOP. I started a month ago, and I've leveled up all my Forms to level 7, my summons to 7, I'm at level 99, I've beat all the cups, defeated Sephiroth, completed all the journal entries, and beaten the game, with an excess of munny to spare . All on Proud mode, mind you. I looked at my play time, and, well, I'm almost ashamed to give the actual amount of hours, so it'll suffice to say it's above 60 hours. I'D GIVEN UP MY SOCIAL LIFE FOR THIS CRAZY GAME THAT SUCKED ME IN!!!!!!!!

Last night was the first time for a while I'd chilled with anyone besides either Colee, my family, or my good friends Sora, Donald and Goofy. Hahaha so yes, I think it's about time that I come out of my Kingdom Hearts hibernation and get a real life haha

That sucks, have you thought about getting another job? If you like electronics and games you can apply for a place like Best Buy or something. I hope things get fixed with that.

Kingdom Hearts can be addicting!

I was never able to get into Kingdom Hearts.
Hey by the way, did you ever get my union invite

I did that on Final Fantasy X once, of all the games. I won't mention my final hour count either.

I would love to have a job Hooray for the highest unemployment rate in Canada! Hope you snap your addiction, too

It's cool man, I know how ya feel. Sometimes games can just take away all your time seemingly in an instant... I was playing some Fallout 3 a few weeks ago, and after playing for what I thought was an hour, it turned out to be 3 hours That happens to me occasionally.

KH 2 is an awesome game though. I remember the first time I played it, I got roughly 40 hours of gameplay in over about 4 days. You have 60 in a month. You have more life than me lol.

I actually enjoy it when a game can pull me in like that. I spend about 60 hours with Lost Odyssey.

@LK-47: I have, but they aren't hiring. It's all good though and I know! Haha it's amazing!
@TheBuck27: Amen to that. Ok, one more amen: AMEN!!!1
@Oblivionfan10: You're missing out my friend
@ScionofEntropy: Haha that's probably for the best. For some reason I just can't get into that game! Something about it just turns me off to it.
@bluezy: Hooray!! Wait, am I supposed to cheer?
@tennis12master: unfortunately, I have to manage my time to make sure I get everything I need to get done finished and get to work on time too, otherwise I'd be getting sucked into all the games
@Allicrombie: No way! It's a good place to be, except when there's a heat advisory every other day
@bbkkristian: I wish! You can chill with him for a bit, and there're a couple cool scenes with him and our good friend Sephiroth after you beat him, but unfortunately, you don't get to play as him
@PLZKLLME0080: Hahaha oh believe me, if I didn't have a job, or as many crazy hours as I do, I'd have more than that
@johnsteed7: it's a wonderful sensation really

Cheering sure beats being depressed about it

Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy can easily absorb so many hours. I wish I had a life atm, its not that I'm unsociable its just there's nothing to do around where I live and the weather's really awful, no-one (including me) can be bothered to go out just to walk around the town.

Look at the bright side: You don't have to work on Sundays.
