I'm not sure what it is with video games these days. I remember when a video game was something you put a quarter in at an arcade. Now things are pretty much done in solitude in a dank basement well beyond the prying eyes of society at large. This is both a good and bad thing.
I have heard horror stories of gamers sitting for days at a time only getting up to answer the door for their next delivery of food, energy products or in some cases drugs. There are urban legends of people wearing adult diapers so they don't have to get up to do even that. Hideous.
It is a good thing that the Playstation Network will be down until next Wednesday at the earliest. While I am completely annoyed that I can't play my two chosen online games. (Battlefield: Bad Company 2 & Call of Duty: Black Ops) I am glad to be one of those who do not live and die by the PS3 / X-Box remote.
Take this week folks and see what the world has in store for you. Go outside, breathe, take a summer course at Cape Cod Community College. In some cases, get a job. I'm just tossing in my two cents.
