How do you find the time?

No, really.  This isn't meant to bash anyone or say you have no life, but as long as the game has been out to have 700 hours invested you need to have played a minimum of 3 hours a day every single day.  Do you work?  Go to school?  Have a familly?  Play any other games?

I am a 24 year old college student and I have around 500 hours in and I feel that is a ridiculous amount.  I play a few hours after class most days, more on the weekends, I play co-op with my girlfriend and pretty much whenever I have time and yet I still don't come close to some of these people.

So share your tips on time management, I need to max out my manifest :)

You don't want to be unemployed for extended periods of time... I wouldn't recommend it anyways. And since you're in college, I'll tell you this, if you're an architecture major... change your major now.

Due to Earth DLC info issues, I wasn't able to play since either late August or very early September. Can't remember which. But I had 600+ hours then but that's because I spent some time in the hospital and didn't have much else to do. Now, I put two to four hours a day into ME3 MP.

I imagine of I'd been able to play the last few months, I'd have over seven hundred hours.

Edit: I was able to start playing again this month though.

Umm...I work from home, which leaves me with a lot of time to play. Couple that with the fact that this was the only game I played from March through September and it adds up to over 900 hours...*sigh*

trying to find work in the medical tech area is extremely hard, and involves a lot of waiting. Also, removal of sleep from your lifestyle provides a lot of free time ;3

I'm an insomniac. I play after my wife and daughter have gone to bed when I can't sleep. I have almost 700 hours. I only sleep 4-5 hours a night.

Insomniac, OCD, generally only play one game at a time. Take your pick of the three, really.

Unemployed and I generally dislike the general public. That plus a lack of money leaves me two options - Gaming or job seeking.

Insomnia generally tends to help.

 I've wondered this as well. I have +999 hours logged on my Pokemon Diamond game but that was over the course of about four years but pokemon is a pretty easy game to multitask while playing.

To think that some people have invested a similar amount of time over only 8 months.

I'm at a very strange time in my life where I only have 1 college class, and my job only needs me to work on the weekends. Also, I usually pick one game and play almost nothing else and that game has been ME3 for quite a while now.

When you work for yourself, It's alot easier to find the time.

I'm still in high school, I only work on weekends, and I get most of my homework done in my study. Procrastinating and sleep deprivation help a bit. But about maxing out your manifest, unless you wanna keep doing weekend challenges until next Thanksgiving, give up.

2-3 hours each day after coming home from university, plus a few more hours during the breaks. I'm an above average student so I don't have to study as much as others do.

No life at all. Lots and lots of time to waste when you're unemployed. I would easily have over 700 hours play time clocked if my interest in the game hadn't dropped significantly during the past few months and I'm finally getting over my insomnia, so no more gaming sessions to 3-4 am.

What makes the play times even more absurd is the fact that N7HQ only counts the time you're actually playing in a match and not the time you waste in the lobby and menus.

I have about 400 hours clocked, about 50 of them clocked due to standby (keeping ME3 minimized while doing other stuff. The clock is retroactive so it counts time since launch), and I've only been playing an average of 1 hour a day since start (some days more than 5, sometimes taking breaks of over 2 weeks). It's really not that big a time investment.

Sacrificing sleep seems to be what most people do.

Sleeping is overrated.

▲ It's a waste of time too. The average person spends a third of the day sleeping. Could you imagine how productive human beings could be if we didn't have to sleep?

It simply depends on where you are in life. Of course, those aspects that are directly relevant to bettering your existence, the health and welfare of your future and the future of those you may be responsible for should always take precedence over leisure time. Such aspects can severely limit the amount of free time one has to play a game.

On the other hand, some have the free time or more money and/or resources than they actually need to live and thus can play as much as they desire. To quote an ancient wise man, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest."

In the end you may find these words expressed in the movie Synecdoche, New York to be apparent:

"What was once before you—an exciting, mysterious future—is now behind you. Lived; understood; disappointing. You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone’s experience. Every single one. The specifics hardly matter. Everyone’s everyone."

Enjoy what you have, your fellow human beings and every opportunity you can find while you still can.
