My question is; why did you make a profile on VGChartz if you feel this way?

I was introduced to the site from a friend and it used to be a really good site to keep up with announcements. Plus I have to admit I am somewhat guilty of the same reasoning which is why I bring it up. I find myself rooting for the games i like and saddened when they do not perform so well (mostly because I realize that failures won't result in sequels).

In the past before joining the site I don't think I concerned myself with others' opinions as much as I do now, which makes me wonder if the site itself lends itself or if I've simply become more open to external influences.

I think we all feel that way. It makes sense. 

You kind of get hooked on it, like gambling.


Yeah but I've always tried to distance myself from any conformist mentality. I pride myself on my individuality and I find myself questioning whether that individuality is really an illusion. Since joining the site I find myself playing games I would have never bothered with before (Fallout 3, Uncharted, Infamous). It makes me question whether this is the result of my own interests expanding or if I myself am caught up in a process I am often critical of others for entertaining.



How do you breathe again?
