Except answering your physical needs everything is egual ;). Egual lost of time. We are the one to give importance to things that doesnt have any importance per see. I guess, just be happy and try to stay healthy with the way you loose your time lol.

What's up with this anti-gaming mileau? Entertainment is a good thing.

I've felt the same way for over a year now. The "gems" of this generation are nothing that can compared to the great games of past gens.

PC gaming isn't about getting to play games like quake, counter-strike, or battlefield 1942 anymore and seeing their communities flourish with the modding potential. It's only about getting a stable 60 fps on 1600p monitors and boasting "hah my multiplatforms games look so much better than they do on a 360, poor console fools".

Watching great franchises like Elder Scrolls, Battlefield, and Final Fantasy all go down the crapper with less than average sequels. Even current-gen games like mass effect and dragon age have gone down the tube with their watered down sequels.

EA inventing online passes and day one DLCs. And Activion publishing tons upon tons of sequels with little to no improvement over the next while in that process killing off franchises. Gaming has truly become just about the business for these guys.

Gaming has become too big and money-hungery for it's own good and even though I'll probably enjoy it for a long time to come, the best days are behind us (or maybe just me).


This...

 

I would have quit gaming, but then I heard their was going to be a next gen awesome FFXIII. Only when it released it was terrible and my whole enjoyment of gaming went down the drain. Luckily WoW has kept me playing games this whole generation. I wont join next generation until I see a must have game. I am probably talking about games and looking at sales and reading wikipedia on games then I am actually playing games.



I don't think I'll ever quite, but I could see myself cutting down. Like you, I don't watch much TV or many movies. However I do find video games relaxing, and you know what. After a long day of work, or school, or even just a day spending time with friends, I really like playing my favorite RPG for an hour before bed.

I would much rather hang out with friends until the wee hours of the morning, but people are busy, and schedules conflict.

One thing I do want to change in the future though is I want to read more books. I like playing my DS at work, and nothing beats a good ol Pokemon fight, or a classic JRPG remake, but I do feel a bit odd when I cram in 2-3 hours of game time at work (I work at a job which involves a lot of waiting around). I just want to fill that void with books a bit, but damn that book store...how do I know if I'll like a book, or if the book is the type of book I'll like? I wish I could do more then just take the suggestions of the people who work there. I feel like a mom in a video game store when I'm at the book store. So for now I'll stick with scoring books off friends.
