Games are the same as real life games except your doing nothing instead of exercising. Somehow people got it into their heads that playing a game on the computer is better, but in reality it's just the same. People don't play outdoors games anymore because it actually takes work and people complain about how they're all the same but in reality the same point holds true with a computer as well. You can't say that you just use a different game because all it is is just the same game but you do something slightly different or the graphics are slightly better. The way I see it the only real difference is the type of game, thinking and not thinking. One game requires you to solve puzzles, the other you simply follow a train track until you reach your destination which, once again, does nothing which is why you don't do it in real life. So the only real thing to do on a computer is to think, which in real life you don't do so well...

I value my intellect more than my physical fitness (or lack thereof.) I am rubber, you are glue. I'll play my vidya games and you can play with your deer hooves.

I don't really play much of anything anymore. I'll sit down in my free time and play an hour or so of Guitar Hero or something on Xbox for a couple hours at a friends house maybe once a week at the most. It's just although they used to be my life, I've discovered that they're much better as a casual hobby.

Indeed. But Im kinda surprised, at a damned modding site about playing and modding a good game, you people have said you don't play them...Unless of course this is an attempt to look like a rebel, an e-thug or gangster.
