The first few days I played probably 17-19 hours in game. But eventually I dropped down to probably 12-15 hours. There were a few days where I wasn't even playing for 12-14 hours straight.
C'mon. Really? 19 hours played a day? 12 hours/day? Get a job or something. A life. Anything.
This isn't really something to be celebrated, here.
Why wouldn't this be celebrated? He's playing the game we're all interested in enough to come and visit a fan site, and he decided to challenge himself with the time he had available, and did it better than anyone else. Just because he chose to spend more time than you do, doesn't mean it's wrong.
Enjoyment levels start to drop after about 4 hours for me with Diablo. When a game is new and I have some spare time, I can go quite a lot longer, but regularly spending 14 hours plus on a game is a bit sad. I love gaming, but when it gets to that level there are definitely more rewarding things to dedicate your time to.
I know people enjoy it, but I don't believe thhey are buzzing after 10 hours, it just becomes mindless and a way of wasting time.
he said he had made ~$3,000+ on the RMAH before grinding paragon, and that "that was his limit" when getting items to grind out the levels. How much of that $3k was spent? Dunno! How much time did it take to get that much cash? Dunno!
Of course, this lacking interview doesn't get to the core of what makes him tick.
Average player like the rest of us? Uh... I got one bubble into paragon level 1 and laughed at how ridiculously terrible a concept it was. I could buy/sell items to offset the boredom, but for what when the core experience of the game is boring.
I'm jealous of people who find diablo3 fun. I simply can't.
Also, $3k is potentially a good amount of cash, fine, but the amount of time I'm estimating he had to spend (and cash he's spending staying alive in that time) puts that far below minimum wage to play D3 all the time. As others have said grats if there is actually something pleasurable happening, but I watched the droning monotony of him running the same pattern for hours and hours... yeaaaah
With the amount of time he played per day, I'm going to guess it's safe to assume he is single, doesn't have kids, and most likely, doesn't have a job.

What?! I'm lucky to get 2 hours per day. He played as much in one day than I do in 6 days. Unreal.

All in all, seems he wasn't really trying, for how he says it.

The achievement is impressive none the less.
