1) It doesn't effect anything and is obviously wrong.
2) Some of it is steam errors. For awhile it said I had over a million hours on one of my games. After a couple of months it corrected.
3) If 2 is not the case then you can just feel good about yourself knowing that you're not so petty as to care about how many hours you had.
4) Some people exploit things like that to prove there is a bug or security hole.
5) Seriously, who cares?

A tip - try editing this comment, and add in two spaces, then hit enter at the end of each line. It forms a new line, like I just did at the end of this sentence.
Also, if you do this with sentences all numbered sequentially, you'll get a nice indented list. Like this:
See? :D

Well, I have an embarrassing amount of hours played due to a combo of previous health issues/unemployment, and also forgetting that keeping a launcher open can count as 'hours played'. Nothing says "stat padding" like leaving a launcher open overnight, or not killing a game process after it crashes.

Ouch bro. I'mma give it a try and run up my electricity bill a bit and see if it will double the time keeping two launchers open.

Some of it might be things with secondary launchers like FF7. I picked it up last sale and it took me quite a while to get logged in, so once the launcher was running I didn't shut it down for a while which hiked my time considerably. I wasn't trying to pad stats, tho...just trying to avoid the possibility of more login snafus. Turned out to be unnecessary but for the first run, I didn't know...

I got a weird time related glitch yesterday. It said the last time I played Binding of Isaac was Tomorrow. http://puu.sh/6NLT8

Don't worry, I played a bit today. I didn't get a good run though, I died really quickly.

Dear SteamGifts,
Somehow I found Wasted on Steam and looked up my profile and friends profiles just out of curiosity.. So, after being bored with that I saw that I was like 23194124# rank for steam hours.. so my curious nature got to me and I went to see who had the Most hours and number one.
What I found was QUITE interesting.. everyone that was between Rank 1 and Rank 15 had over 100,000 Hours... might I just say... ****ing IMPOSSIBLE! I know for a fact these people hacked there profile somehow.. as if my math is correct. there is only 8048 hours in a year.. since steam was made that would only be 80640 Hours.. So, How in the world does Rank #1 have 2284912 Hours.. and 19410 Hours in one game.. He'd have to keep his PC on for almost 2 years never exiting the game. Ontop of that.. the second person on the list I looked at had 75.5 EXACT Hours on EVERY game She,Him,It had.. in it's profile in the last 2 weeks..
Now, I guess what pisses me off. Is, I wish I could do this so I can add all the offline hours i've played.. :'(
EDIT: So, We as a community have narrowed down what it could be and came up with the following 5 conspiracies(I absolutely hate spelling that word).
A: Steam Time Machine or Time Travelers are now coming to the past
B: Microsoft Clock
C: Opening Multiple Windows then leaving them open for countless hours to increase your hours...and your electricity bill.
D: I am SAM. Or, are you Sam?
E: Steam Error Graciously made you look like a God among Gamers.
EditX2: Not really related. But, I was taking care of a small abandoned liter of week old kittens(I think the mother was hit by a car as she never came back for the kittens) and have had them for about 6 days now and have been feeding them every 2 hours with KMR so they are putting on weight. Unfortunately, When I woke up today to feed them I found one of the kittens had moved himself away from his brothers and sisters. He wasn't cold so we brought him to the vet and unfortunately he died on the way :'(
