This probably won't be a welcomed response, so please refrain the flame. Personally, I cannot see waisting hours on end on an activity so unproductive as playing video games, much less wasting three valuable days of my life camped in front of a store for said video games.
But......to each their own, I suppose.

No flame here. I used to do just that. It was an addiction of sorts. I cannot stress how much better my life got when I gave it up.

I used to tell this to my kids when the first Nintendo came out. But now I look forward to the few precious hours I can waste playing video games, but then again I watch very little TV.


I still go through phases where I won't play for months, and then a really good new game comes out....


One thing I'll admitt is that I've never stood in line for any game or system....not yet anyway.

I certainly can't find any reason to flame you for that statement. Heck, I know people who think I'm nuts for spending tens of hours a week Freeping... On the other hand, the whole "I MUST HAVE IT NOW" group-think is an interesting thing to watch, from the outside. But the response of the mayor's office is just... Well, it's just right out of a Monty Python sketch...
