"In 10 years time . . ."

10 years, a Decade, 3652 Days, 87648 Hours, 5258880 Minutes and 315532800 Seconds. But where will we all be then but further than that, what would have happened to the gaming industry?

So in the year 2013 . . .

The “Playstation 4” will be booming in sales as it will be law for people to buy one by their 10th Birthday. If people do not abide by this law then the punishment is harsh (death to be exact).

This has caused huge public outrage within the “Ninty” community so numerous under ground clans have been created to help with the fight against the “Sony’s”. With the Ninty’s outlawed and living in the sewers of the world the only safe place would be the Promised Land (Japan) where Nintendo sores high in the sky!

As for Microsoft, after Bill Gates forced his employees to commit mass “suicide” (Used the new Windows Majicklarijium [MK for short] “kill button”), they fell into the darkness of the “£5 Bargain Bin” and were never seen again after 2005. This caused a huge opening in the market for any old idiot to build an operating system, but due to the lack of clever people the computer industry suffered huge blows and fell back at least 50 years.

That’s what the world will be like in 10 years time, but what about you the gamer?

Sony’s

This will be the mass population, zombies to the evil of Sony. They have no power for thought after being sucked in by the Playstation 4. Mindless they roam the earth as Sony keep churning out sorry excuses for entertainment (Nothings changed there then), and with nothing to challenge them they cannot go wrong. Crime within these people will not exist, the only crime would be the so called “terrorist attacks” from the Ninty’s. The police force to fight against these so called “Terrorist Attacks” will be well trained. This training will consist of uncharted hours of Metal Gear Solid 4 and various Tom Clancy Games being force fed into their brains.

A sad life these people will lead with no actual active thoughts of their own. As they plug into their Playstation 4’s through their specially created “link ports” they will be able to be free as they will connect online to the “Master Playstation” where they will be able to download updates for their pitiful brains.

But it is not all bad for the Sony’s. War will be none existent for them and they will have nothing to worry about and life would be just peachy as they would see it. Even though all the “elderly” would be claiming that back in their day they could actually think for them selves, these thoughts of “rebellion” will be ignored as these thoughts are also illegal and the “elderly” are seen as just “senile old farts”.

Ninty’s

Living in the sewers is tough. Many will die before they reach the age of three, but those who do will reign and prosper living a life of kings as they are free. The Nintendo Dreambird will be selling like hot cakes and everyone living in the sewers will be hugely hooked to these addictive devices. Dreams of Japan will flutter through their brains as they long for sunlight.

Those who have the spirit to fight to free the world from the evil Sony “geeks” who have enslaved Europe and America, will fight for a just and righteous cause. With the full on training of Metroid Prime 2 and many Resident Evil’s (To help tackle the Sony zombies) they will rise to the surface and destroy important buildings and people ranging from Lord Sony himself to toilets. Freeing the world will be tough but those who fight have not lost hope.

The second paragraph is quite confoosling.

A year is the period of time during which Earth completes a single revolution around the Sun. It amounts to 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds of mean solar time. In the Gregorian calendar we use, the year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31. It is divided into 12 months, 52 weeks, and either 365 or 366 days, depending upon the Leap Year rule. The interval also is known as a calendar year.

Right enough said!

It takes 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds for the earth to revolve aroungd the sun, normally shortened to 365.25 days. Seeing as they would have to completely disrupt the entire Earth's calender to make it exact, they add a day on to the 365 every fourth year, making it exact.
But the nimwits in the US and Greenwich Observatory have messed it all up with the fact that years such as 2100 CAN'T be leap years, as they aren't divisible by 400, but the year 2096 will be, as will 2104, so, they're nimwits.

He's right you know.

365 and a quarter days in a year.

ARGGHHHHHHH, you've confuffled me now.

Oh, wait
Neither of you are correct.
I think...
Hang on, I'll figure it out.

You cannot decimalise the year, as the figure isn't 100 based, therefore, Parr is correct.
So nar.

What? If it was 365.24, then there'd be a longjumpyear every 24 years, as every four years would equal 1490.96 days.
Don't challenge me, I said about .25 extra, not .25 extra. I never said it was exact. But you implied it.

Ok mr Clever, your stats are wrong. There is a leep year every 4 years but not every 100. That means there cannot be 365.25 days in a year 365.24 days in a year.

So ner!! :P

nope, as the .25 days would mean that half a day had passed in this decade also, meaning that it's 3652.5 or something.
