Vices make for fine entertainment. Finally, we need to figure out what your time is worth, to make sure your entertainment costs are balanced. Things that suck cost a lot, because you're really being short-shifted in the amount of fun they provide, versus what they promise. But exempting lemons, we have three categories, really. Those come in at under a buck an hour for Fun.
TV is cheap because people watch so much of it.
RPGs do really well because the costs are shared among the participants. If they don't, then the poor GM pays full rate and the players scoot by for nearly free. The middling media are PC games and other solitary pursuits, which are somewhat costly precisely because the buy-in cost is not shared among a group, and yet they have a finite time to 'recover' the cash investment. These start to infringe on your hourly worth, actually. All Rights Reserved.
