no matter what you do you're just killing time until you die. as long as you're having fun, who gives a shit

this weekend i actually played and enjoyed a video game, true story (it was animal crossing)

Someone recommended Rayman to me at a used disc store because I had only ever played Batman and Tetris on GameBoy and anything that wasn't side-scrolling intimidated me.

I had my wisdom teeth out and got a dry socket so I had lots of Percoset. Let me tell you... I mastered all the Rayman games, high as a kite. Event the 2-D ones. Time well spent (as far as druggy time goes.)

I love video games, and as far as I'm concerned this world is hard enough to deal with without feeling guilty about enjoying the things you love (be they video games, fine wine or David Lynch movies).

The way I see it, they may be a waste of time, but so is parking yourself in front of the TV with a beer in your hand and watching sports all day. Something which millions of people find perfectly acceptable to do (although I personally don't get).

 "one of the thing that flat-out ruined them for me is someone once pointed out that all it is, is pushing buttons to change the colors the CRT is currently displaying. and it's true, no matter which game. it's even more pointless than most things."

Yeah, video games are a time waster, just as TV, computer, books and dvds.  The question is : Did you enjoy yourself?  Thats all that matters.  We need escapism in our lives or we will go insane (or more insane). 

I still have my PS2 and as long as I got my Madden and MLB:The Show, I'm a happy guy!

Ben:  "We've laid in a gala reception for your fair-haired boys tonight.  All of Twin Peaks' best and brightest."

Jerry: "We're holding it in a phone booth?"

Been a gamer since my early childhood, my PS3 is great, well needed after the stresses of the day. Own FIFA 09, SD vs Raw 09, Legends of Wrestlemania, Call of Duty: World at War and MGS4: Guns of the Patriots.

The end sequence in MGS4 is awesome...I went through 2 joints watching it, it lasts 67 f'n minutes!

In terms of timewasting, they can't be much worse than movies -- I think someone who watched films the same number of hours per week as an average World of Warcraft player plays would be considered an aficianado, so long as it wasn't affecting their ability to live life.

At any rate, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was as much of a cultural milestone for me as Star Wars, Twin Peaks, the Sherlock Holmes stories...

I won Zelda last night (not that anyone cares).

I am definitely taking a hiatus from gaming since it chewed up virtually all of my night life.

"I'm not one to feel the need to get every single thing in a game if you can win it without doing so."

Normally I'd get pissy and tell you to eat a bag of dicks, but then I remember I'm not the one who continually whines at the rest of the board for not living up to my expectations of constant entertainment.

Love ya, man. But you're high maintenance.
