    6309 hours... 262 days,21 hours,38 minutes... /ashamed/

    So even if I played 4 hours a day, that would take me about 4.5 years to finish all the games in my library.

    I guess all the more reason to win the lottery.

    Look on the bright side: If you ever stop buying games, that number will only go down.

    Ikr? Took to it like a fish out of water. Took about a couple months to get her accustomed to the fact that 80 degrees is not dangerous temps though. But now she's all repasted with ICD and got a notepal U3 and familiar with XTU and stuff. They grow up so fast *sniff*

    Then again, this is the books-to-read inventory:

    [​IMG]

    Quick search by format; 219+2126+1079+262+9 = 3695 actual books. Two a week makes 12,933 days (or 35.4 years). Finished Discworld, Dune and everything by Kipling, E.M. Forster and Douglas Adams though, so ... kinda miss something to read in-between the non-fictions. Maybe ' A Song of Ice and Fire' finishes sometime soon (...) so I can start reading that (consecutively) and then see whether that tv series is mostly hype or not.
