I use videogames as a means to escape the solitude and dreariness of my everyday life. Ever see the movie Groundhog's Day? That pretty much explains my life, except that I'll probably never be able to break the monotony.

I'm not necessarily addicted to games. I go for long periods of time without playing them. But usually the time not spent playing a game is wasted at Gamespot or other internet wastelands, which is arguably even less productive. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if all my games and systems were destroyed or locked away.

Sometimes I wish I could give it all up, at least temporarily, and live like a monk -- freeing myself from all material possessions. But I don't think I'm strong enough. I'm reminded of my unfulfilling life and sink back into despair, drowning myself in worlds of magic and gaming, hoping to forget.

Where will this path eventually lead me? I don't know how long I can sustain it, but I do know the ultimate destination. Along this path, my inevitable fate is to lose my life, by my own hands.

Funnily enough, that MP3 pic looks much better than the Bioshock one (real or not, it makes you look more ridiculous). And why in the name of processed cheese did you post a pic of Mario 3? The mind boggles.

I keep seeing bits and pieces of this game, and I'm not impressed. I just don't think Nintendo can pull off a "dark" disaster-type game. They tried with Geist and failed (N-Space developed Geist and was owned by Nintendo). I want them to succeed at a new IP, but I have a bad feeling Disaster will be just that...a disaster. Maybe I'm judging this game way too early. AvIdGaMeR444
Geist is awesomesauce.

[QUOTE="ThePlothole"][QUOTE="tomarlyn"]

[QUOTE="ThePlothole"]"Adult gamers"? Well, I'm 22, so I guess I fall into that category. I completely ignore the ESRB rating when purchasing games though. (they don't determine quality)tomarlyn

But they do determine the kind of experience. I wouldn't touch a horror game aimed at kids, I like my horror to be well... horrific.

Well duh, it wouldn't be a "Surival Horror" without "horror". However it's not the little "M" on the front of the Silent Hill/Fatal Frame/etc box that tells me it's a game I want to play.

If it doesn't have the M rating it won't have the kind of content we expect from a survival horror.

What, so do you mean that if has no M-Rating, it might be an actual original experience you deliberately won't enjoy? I think ratings stifle many gamers' perception in what they think they can or can't like. Which Is A Bad Thing.

How sympathetic.....


Well he used the right words.

Either I'm reading it wrong or that was a poor attempt at patronisation.

I read it as neither caring nor not caring. So, not negative or positive.

I see. It seems the most menial of topics keeps me in conversation the most....

Basically, anything beginning in "Z" and ending in "Elda". Oh yeah, can't forget Sonic the Hedgehog 3,the 2 Halo games I have played, Polarium andany Gran Turismo. Yawn.

i guess you dont know what multiplayer is if you actually think the Halo series is boring

I played Halo 2 online and Halo's 1 and 2 singleplayer. I didn't enjoy them, get over it.
