Time well spent

Just when we thought World of Warcraft was taking too much of our time.

The developers of the online role-playing game Final Fantasy XI seemingly borrowed a page from the Emmy-winning South Park episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft" by updating the game with one of the longest - and most physically grueling - video game fights ever. Introduced in the game's latest downloadable update, the boss monster "Pandemonium Warden" remained perfectly fit after a group of high-level adventurers wailed away at it nonstop for over 18 hours straight.

You know an 18 hours boss fight could be the equivalent of a Tour De France of Gaming. Except instead of training to reach athletic perfection, you sit on your ass learning how to properly execute your Shift+/- key bindings to your "Wide-stance" Keyboard - Mouse coordination.

And by the way if you understood that, you play too much Wow..
Welcome brother, welcome.
