Day in the Life of a Game Engineer

One of the most interesting comments he makes is that as Square Enix grows, he expects that schedules will become more normal. I'm curious at what point that is expected to happen, and what sort of hours will become the norm. While 11am - 10pm is only (ONLY?) 11 hours, I'll be curious what length of time will become the new normal. He mentions clocking out at 8pm (which would make a normal 8.5 hour day and 0.5 hour lunch) sometimes, which seems more reasonable, but I suspect this is the exception, and not the rule.
