Words for the wise from the mouth of a fool.

"Guess how many games of Halo 2 have been played since November 9th 2004. Go on. I dare you. If you said 324,362,454 then congratulations. You win a slightly baffled expression.

...Man-hours played in Matchmade games: 184,137,245. That means (in plain English) that the total number of hours spent playing Halo 2 by individual players is over 180 million. ... And just in case you're wondering, that is roughly 21,006 years. Way longer than human civilization has existed.

...The Halo player who has played the most games to date has played a staggering, mind-boggling 14,919 games, spending an average of six hours per day, and playing around 71 games. Per day.

...If everyone had worked a $6/hr job instead of playing Matchmade games, they would have earned $1.1B. Of course, that's minimum wage. If we went with say, the median wage of Minnesota, then it would be more like 3.2 billion smackeroos."
