It's pretty good, but I don't know if I'm experiencing any epiphanies right now. Maybe I should wait until Dimmu cover it. So I’m listening to Joshua Bell play Chaccone right now.

Neither. The gaming was neither the problem nor even the cause of the problem. It was merely a crutch. ” … are you saying that about gaming or the disconnection with life that was caused by the gaming?”

I would argue that there's nothing wrong with gaming. You just need to know when to turn it off, and when to not turn it on. It's like any substance that can be abused, be it alcohol or drugs or whatever. For instance, Megan and I have had some great nights this week (I can't really post this on our own blog as I think she'd be ashamed). She (not so surprisingly) is loving my DS Lite and spent from 8pm until 11:30 (after I had gone to bed) playing The New Super Mario Bros one night. I spent three hours playing Tomb Raider: Legend. There is nothing wrong with the fact that we spent one night (and other nights this week) not talking or socialising but playing games. But at some point you have to turn them off and go live the rest of your life. But maybe I'm on my own here.

Even Dave commented! Cheers guys. I was displeased by how this turned out (as I didn't have time to edit it), it wasn't supposed to be about computer games, but after 10 years it's hard to remember what we talked about. Also, I am disappointed with some of my sentences, whose composition pains me. But! Damn, it's good to be a poster. Man, that must have been a good post. Even Dave commented! Cheers guys.

Heaven help anyone that was unfortunate enough to try to get to the kitchen for things like food or a drink. This was life or death here! GGGGETTOUUUT... I am grateful I only had dial up and not broadband. I am grateful eventually the game ended. For modern gamers playing online, does the game ever end?

I like the sentence: "It’s like real life, except awesome and fake". 2. You *so* should have said "fighting the Kilrathi!". 3. Moderation! 4. People younger than us are stupid. 5. Good thoughts. 1.
