Really, given the amount of enjoyment, emotion and, yes, addiction that this place inspires in those of us mad enough to stick around, 1000 hours is nothing. I've no idea where I fall on the overall hours scale but I can say that I wouldn't change a single one of them.
I've had 5 minute games, and 15-20 hour games, and I say here's to another few thousand.
