True. Unfortunately, too true.
The only thing I know, is that I know nothing. (Sorry, wanted to complete the title. Trying to make a joke -.-)
I'd love to join that Burning Crusade, but I've never played WoW. Nor do I have a facebook. I do however spend far too much time on games, but it's in a way to cope. Life sucks, so I want to escape reality. Reality is the prison with people as guards that hate you getting out, so life sucks more, thus I want to escape more. Thus the cycle of life sucking and me attempting to escape. *sigh* Perhaps if there were something more INTERESTING in life to get me...
I loved the movie, partly because of the pictures (basically all but the convention) being so funny. But don't think I didn't pay attention. I did. Games suck up your life-no doubt about it. Get hooked on one game, you're bound to get hooked by more. It's best to play as few as possible, and it's easy to get addicted.
But games not only can bring people together (should they bother getting up), there is a chance they could teach something about life. Educational games. However, these are few and so far between you could stick a black hole between them and nobody would notice for years, so it's best to just stick to life's experiences to teach you. Life is the greatest teacher, however the hardest to get along with.
Saying that, I also feel games are one of the few interesting things in life. Some form of entertainment keeps it going. I'm not saying your entire life should be video games, believe me, it shouldn't be. I knew one guy in school who had a brother who worked for Blizzard, and had he paid for all of what he did on WoW (he got free because of his brother) he would've spent around a thousand dollars-and that's just so far. I say good for him for getting it free, but shame on him for getting past the $500 mark.
Good luck to you bringing your life together. Games should only be on the side unless it's your occupation (which I envy anyone who has an occupation playing video games). Loved what you did with the video, and believe I understand what it meant. Should you choose to dabble in games more, focus on your life. People should, and rarely do. (Hell, I don't. I'm sure I'll regret that before too long.)
I feel like I'm rambling...so I'll end with the bitter truth few like to hear, and most probably know, and that everyone should know.
You only get one life to live.
So make it count. There are no save states, no save points, no memory cards, no backup files. You get one game. When you hit Jail, do not pass Go, do not collect $200. Learn your lesson. Don't abuse the only chance you get in life. And please, PLEASE please please, DON'T ruin it. There is no "Continue", no "New Game", none of that. "Game Over" doesn't just mean "Game Over-You lose-Try Again-Go Home", it means you're no longer here. Buh-bye. Don't ask to try again, because you don't get that second chance. When life throws a punch, throw one back. Don't just sit there and wait for the next. Get up, do something with your life. Don't be me here sitting around playing another game. Get on with your life, be well known and liked by many people. Get off of facebook and to talk to someone.
PS: You know you spend too long indoors when you're whiter than your bleached clothes, and an albino. Get a tan. Go outside. Don't be stupid. (And no, thankfully I don't know anyone that could use a tan that bad.)
