But, really, I see gaming as a (sigh) waste of time. For the record, I watch maybe 2 or 3 movies a year, and watch very little TV. I dislike saying that, because I do remember really enjoying games when I used to play them... but if I switch on a console, or something, now, I just think to myself "There's a million and one things I could be doing, and I've chosen this". I never found games particularly relaxing, either. I found them fun, exciting, frustrating, and adrenaline boosting, but these things are the opposite to relaxation. Although I must admit, there was something particularly soothing about just riding around the planes in Red Dead Redemption. Anyway, that's my experience. Anybody else found themselves going off video games? For similar reasons? I don't know if it's just a part of "growing up", or whether I'm just too obsessed with "knowledge" (I can't even read fiction, anymore, I see that as a waste of time... and that includes the "News" |
)Its not, I'm older than you, study in college, have a high iq, yet I still get back to games just like how I was 10 years old, not studying and not being educated.
