Bayley unlocked the first car - miata. This is a pretty cool free download and saves progress!

I think my first playthrough took a little over 60 hours. Still, the game's been out since November 20th. . .

I had a nice amount of time to play while unemployed. Since september I've finished the main quests in Assassin's Creed, Beautiful Katamari, Mass Effect, HL2, HL2 ep1, and Portal (plus the advanced maps and all silver challenges), and put some time in to Oblivion, HL2 ep2, Forza 2, Tomb Raider Anniv, Quake 2 (xb360), Mario Galaxy, and Metroid Prime 3.

I really didn't play that much. All those games don't actually translate in to much time when you're jobless for four months.

Let's see. . . Assassin's Creed was probably only 10 hours or so. Katamari's story mode is pretty short - maybe a few hours. Mass Effect was about 60 hours over the course of a whole month. Orange Box was about 30 total: 16 hours in HL2, 4 in Ep1, and perhaps 10 in Portal (including time spent on challenges). Over the course of 4 months, that equals less than an hour per day. Add in the other titles, and I may have played for a few hours on various weekdays (there were plenty of days when I didn't play at all), and a bit longer over weekends. And most of my gaming was done after the wife and kid were in bed.

I know how to balance family and hobbies, thanks.

Your wife doesn't mind going to bed alone?

Mine hates it when I stay up later than her, even when she goes to bed at like 10pm. I usually don't feel like sleeping until midnight or so, but a lot of times I go earlier to try and keep the peace. I don't see the big deal, but she gets pretty pissed sometimes. Sometimes I'll get into bed to find that my pillow is missing because she threw it across the room somewhere.

Are we talking straight up here, or insinuating something else?

She doesn't mind. She normally goes to bed at 9:30, because she has to be up at 5:30 to get to work at 6:45. That's pretty much impossible for me, so she's ok with it.

My jobs also haven't been quite as boring as hers, so I can get by with a bit less sleep. While I was out of work, I usually went to bed between 2 and 3AM, and woke up at 8:30-9AM with the boy. Now I hit the hay between 11PM and midnight, and get up at 6AM.

As far as, erm, other activities go, since having the boy we've gotten pretty good at making time without having to coordinate sleep schedules.

is 1.2 new?????? I thought that's what I've been playing since last spring.


The leaderboards were always jacked. My best time on the reverse track with the 599 MT, r3 tires, no TCS, etc. was in the low 1'13.1" range. It would be on posted for a few days then some times that were much slower would appear at the top of the list like it was getting reset. Not very satisfying at all.
