Yeah, TF2 is definitely not where our time has been going lately — while Paradox and myself have both played more hours total than Ted (I’m around 80 hours), he’s actually played more than both of us combined in the last two weeks (I’ve got 0 hours, Paradox is at 1.3 hours, and Ted’s at 1.7 hours — not a big difference, but still it shows that’s not what we’ve been doing).

But, while we have been pretty busy with entertaining parents and preparing for presentations lately, I’m not really sure I’ve missed the TF2 time sink. It’s so easy to sit in front of the computer and let your brain go on auto-pilot, especially after a hard, stressful day at work, but I don’t want to look back on my evenings and summarize them by saying I played TF2. I’m hoping that once I’m done with grad school I won’t be so mentally drained from a day’s work that the sedative of a few hours of TF2 is so appealing…

Andrew hasn’t been playing much TF2 recently, actually. Also, TF2 is much less time-consuming than WoW. Since I got it, my total /played for TF2 is less than 50 hours, and Andrew’s is a little more than 100 hours.

Is it really only 8 weeks or so left for me?! Eep.

But I’ve been trying to do the whole working out thing and it seems to be working well, I think I find myself plopping down infront of the computer to put my brain into the vegetative wowstate for a a few hours. I’m fortunately blessed with a metabolism… circadian rhythm … thing… where I only need about 6 hours of sleep and trying to sleep more is difficult.

The point I’m trying to make here is that unless you cut out sleep you may have to axe your TF2 time… as painful as that may sound. You’d be shocked at how much time you free up.

Oh also just another thought, if you want more time consider giving up blinking.
