    Two weeks, I believe. I was in the hospital for a week and decided to take another one off.

    About 8 hours each night when I sleep.


    ***SPOILER***

    Something you all probably don't know is that him and Clint Eastwood fended off an attack from robot
    ninjas and saved OT. Thanks Chessmaster! (And Clint Eastwood ) - DJ-Lafleur
    That's all well and good in practice, but how does it work in theory?

    My first 5000+ posts came from my first year of activity. Then I took at least a year off here and there.

    One time I was reading one of the articles on the site, about Jack Thompson I believe, and in the comments section I said he was a douche bag--which as everyone knows he is. I got modded for flaming(Jack Thompson). I politely went to AtM about it and they were very rude and locked my thread before I could even respond. I had to stay away for about 6 months. I'm pretty surprised I came back.

    When I first joined Gamespot in 2004, it was only for a game trailer. After that game trailer, I didn't come back to gamespot for at least 1 year.....
