I was in school so when that was put on hold I essentially played video games like it was a job. I remember vividly playing Grand Theft Auto IV in one sitting for the Liberty City Minute achievement and I’m pretty sure I played through Master Chief Collection.

Do you look back on any aspects of it nostalgically?

    I was feeling challengey and became the world record older for the most sites having signed up for. A self-experiment that turned into a victory. Not quite the same as my grandfather’s “I’m going to walk from Ushuaia to Cape Agulhas and back”, but still.

      How did you manage to do that? Did you just register for a site every time you came across one or did you actively search them out? Did you use a disposable email address?

        All of the above. I have one email address per email site, so technically all are co-disposable.

          That is really neat. Did you automate the one email address for per site thing some how? Did you use one of those disposable email services?

            I use each one depending on if the site sends newsletters, if they keep the data, if the site is popular, etc. so that I could keep any sites’ emails organized that I could.
