Easy there, Sparky, I never said I didn't like HL.  I own, conquered and enjoyed HL and HL2.  However, it did set a trend, and games HAVE gotten slower paced since HL.  Plus, if it would mean an actual GOOD story, I'd be all for it.  Seems that a lot of shooters today have the worst of both worlds though, the pace of a story driven game, but with a pitiful story.  If you disagree, feel free to tell me about the exceptions, I really do want to know.  Hell, I posted a topic about interactivity in FPS games, and nobody can come up with any ideas it seems.

As for your comment about ADHD, well, as someone who works with teenagers, I can tell you that it is WORSE THAN EVER.

BioShock is a good start.  

 

You are basically saying that my age group is worse than ever.


Bioshock is a great start.

In terms of ADHD, the sheer number of diagnoses are WAY UP.  However, I think many of those are false, and that our society (especially the US) is OVERMEDICATED.  Rather than understanding that there are some quirks in the development process, and "boys will be boys" there is a massive rush to pacify everyone with drugs.

As far as in general, no, I do not think that teens are worse than ever.  You misunderstood.  If I didn't enjoy working with them so much, I would not be teaching.  I love my job - well, except that I don't have as much gaming time as I used to.
