I have 2400+ hours on cod4 and 1200+ on quake live, and I currently play more than 60 hours per week playing team fortress 2. You're not that bad.
Well that is about 1/12 of a year (month) well I too have a lot of hours on playing video games, I think that it is a bit of a waste of time and I do regret some of the time that I played but I think its great to kill time if you have nothing else to do but if you do,do that instead Pros: You might meet some new people, fun, kills time Cons: wastes some time, not very healthy, sometimes can get you angry and or depressed Hope I helped, thanks.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
