    • How about a cup of coffee? You have been playing for two hours.
    • It’s four hours in a row! Time to stretch your legs!
    • You’ve been playing for six hours already! Bet your empire will be fine without you for a moment or two.
    • You’ve been playing for eight hours now. You do know you can turn this off, don’t you?
    • Time flies! It’s been ten hours! And there is no time-based achievement to await you, honestly.
    • Twelve hours. Seriously? Turn the machine off this minute!
    • Twenty-four hours and the game is still running. You’ve reached the end of line. No more play time warnings. Let’s hope you pressed fast forward and left for bed, so I am merely talking to myself right now.

    Maybe it is because I am over 30, but 8 hours gaming sound crazy for me. I do a session of about 4, hours every 2 weeks with friends and that is almost too much. My back and my hand start to hurt and I feel kind of empty after.

    Please tell me this was actually in the script somewhere. I could hear his voice perfectly on this meme.

      I have lots of hobbies.

      One of them is occasionally spending all day playing video games.

      Bite me.

      Gaming is a very diverse hobby, especially considering that the captions do not specify type of game.

      Would 8 hours of D&D with friends be a lot? Seems like quality time to me.

        an 8 hour D&D session is insane… do you hate your DM?

        8 hours in a week seems reasonable. 8 hours in one day, for one session? That’s too much. I don’t even know how you get a table full of players all the schedule that much time. 3-4 hour long sessions sounds reasonable.

          I haven’t actually done 8, but I have played for 6 hours before. Our games move really slowly, definitely more role-playing than roll-playing, so it’s a lot of narrative and story-telling. Doesn’t help that the DM is very into D&D enough to run multiple campaigns.

          Yeah it’d definitely be a marathon though. But my point was that even if it is too many hours (e.g. for practical reasons), I think it would be unfair to say that it’s too many hours in the sense of “you need other hobbies.”
