Battlefield 1943 recruits one million on Xbox Live
I share this only to semi-publicly air my shame.
Of the officially 1 million people that now possess this game on this platform, I am currently ranked 148. This achievement is due to considerable skill, yes, and that skill was accrued over the more than 17 full days (dude, 420 hours, dude) I spent playing over the course of about 7 months. That works out to roughly 11% of my waking hours during that time period (17% of waking hours outside of work), or an average of nearly 2 hours a day.
Mathematically speaking, this is undoubtedly the greatest value I have ever gotten out of a $15 purchase. Funny how slippery the concept of value is.
