Where does the time go ? For some of us , that ’s a question regard sentence - loops and FTL driving force . But for a lot of us , the explanation has more to do with monolithic books , bursting videodisc set and addictive game .
notice : These can be timesinks in a good manner , or a bad agency … there ’s no value judgement to aver that something can eat up a lot of clock time .
1 . Dr. Who
Just the current version of this British clip - travel epic , which began in 2005 , can eat up a goodly amount of time , with its five seasons worth of mind - flex floor and center - rending moments . ( And then there ’s the twisting - off show , Torchwood . And the accidentally lovely Sarah Jane Adventures . ) But then you throw in the fact that the authoritative serial hightail it from 1963 to 1989 , plus a forgettable TV movie in 1996 . There are a total of 770 - odd episodes of this show , and over 200 individual stories . you may kill a whole weekend just look out the “ Key to Time ” season .
2 . TVTropes
This is perhaps the most obvious Bermuda Trianglewhere your sentence can vaporize , never to be seen again . If you ’re a buff of anything fantastical or wondering , and you have long unexplained time lapses , chances are you were just look at the smartly named , obsessively detailed listings of caudex characters , plot devices and story ideas that range up all over the place . ( range of a function viaXKCD ) As Tracy says , “ Sucks me in every time , and I ’m in a trope - hole for , like , 45 moment lower limit . Guh . ” And now I want to go look up “ trope - hole ” on TVTropes .
3 . Oblivion
This RPG allows you to go anywhere in the realm and lock in side quests , when you ’re not try out to barricade an evil cult from opening a doorway to another land , and find theAmulet of King . Several people identify Oblivion as their biggest clip - eating fixation , and Aaron confessed to a repeated habit of “ Starting a fresh character in Oblivion and quitting two months later . ”
4 . Bleach
There are 306 episodes of this anime serial so far ! And this serial about a young mankind who becomes a Soul Reaper is still going strong . Not to mention , 200 of the sequence are usable on Hulu , and they carry them a week after they air in Japan . ( Thanks Rosie ! )
5 . DC ’s “ Showcase ” and Marvel ’s Essential ” trade .
Actually , nobody mentioned this on our Facebook page , but I want to admit it as an obvious candidate . Marvel and DC have slacken down the issue of these 500 - page reprint volumes , which were printed on cheap newsprint and looked like telephone books . ( Anyone actually retrieve phone books ? ) But there are century of these , and you’re able to read , like , every authoritative Spider - Man comic ever , or all the Silver Age Justice League comics , for pretty cheap . And there buy the farm the weekend .
6 . The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan
When this series is completed , it willconsumean estimated 14 Good Book , 11,308 pages , and over 4 million Bible . And the accumulate Time - Wheelery will take up an estimate 17 and a one-half days on audiobook . That ’s a lot of epic phantasy . These books are “ ripe for sucking your life away , ” says David .
7 . donjon and dragon
Considering you may expend a whole day on your character sheets , there ’s no manner to lowball just how much of your remaining hour on this planet D&D can eat up . Says Jon , “ I spent my entire weekend pretty much just say about D&D. Not even dally ! Just reading up ! ” This game is like a gelatinous cube that swallows up your metre .
8 . Star Trek
Not counting the Animated Series ( which really ought to count ) , there were five television serial and 11 film — allot toone guy wire , there are roughly 525 and a half hours of televised Trek , plus over 21 hours of moving picture . ( And that does n’t even include all the DVD special features , fan - moving-picture show , railroad tie - in book of account , cartoon strip , and so on . ) The series about people who boldly go has gone on and on , and even if you ’ve seen every episode , you ’ve plausibly forgotten the contingent of half of them .
9 . A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin
10 . populace of Warcraft
Or “ World of Warcrack ” as Jarrad calls it . This MMORPG has a path of eat up up people ’s day . And nights . And weekends . The more time you endow , the more invested you are , and the more clock time you have to invest .
