why hasn't your pedotrician treated your rectal cranium inversion?
because you can't afford a doctor until obamacare kicks in.

he's only played 1.8k hours. that's really not very much, considering the game's age. i'm pretty sure a decent number of people on this forum had comparable time clocked up... 5 years ago.DesertFox- wrote:

I'll agree that 1800 hours isn't a lot of time in comparison to the thousands of hours that have passed since it came out, but it's still a big-ass chunk of time. I think I only have one or two games I've played that much.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

how long is a piece of string? why is video-game playing any more useless and socially contemptible than sitting on your arse watching tv? or reading twilight / game of thrones books? they're all forms of childish escapism and passive, candyfloss, intellectually dead entertainment.Spearhead wrote:

if you have a shitty job/no job, no social life, and are going nowhere... i would put it to you that all forms of passive entertainment are unsuitable until you sort yourself out. again: why video-games? sitting on your ass watching daytime tv all day is just as mind-rotting.Spearhead wrote:
To me it seems inversely proportional to your success in your career/social life. If youve got a nice paying job and a healthy, fulfilling lifestyle, who cares how much you play? Just like Wall Street people snorting coke or whatever. It's just a vice. If youve got a shitty job/no job, no social life, and are going nowhere fast, it seems to me like youre too old to be playing video games.
Personally, I hardly play video games at all anymore. Compared to the amount I used to, at least. I might still throw in a couple days of 6 or 8 hour gaming sessions a month, but my weekly average is probably only like 5-10 hours.Uzique The Lesser wrote:

I think this a "whoever wins, we lose" kind of deal. Except from any kind of fan-fiction standpoint, it's total win.
Okay so: a guy on Deviantart likes erotic drawings of My Little Pony characters. Strange, but not unheard of.
But then he gets the equivalent of a cease and desist letter when another guy who claims he's going to marry Twilight Sparkle - for real, because he's found a chapel that will marry fictional characters and real people - gets upset that when he goes to fan forums, he sees depictions of his "fiancee" in sexual positions with the Deviant artist. He doesn't mind people fantasizing about his bride-to-be, but insists she wouldn't be a submissive. He's particularly upset that anyone would draw Twilight having her face ejaculated on (so are the rest of us, but for very different reasons, I imagine).
Look, I can't do the letter justice. Either read the whole thing, or check out MTV Geek's version of a Fan Fiction Friday feature on it.
To think that in my adolescence I thought there was something seriously wrong with me when I had an erotic dream about Zarana. I feel downright square nowadays.
