Besides, even if no one would remember, that's a pretty shitty excuse for someone else to waste a lifetime on. I mean, I wouldn't want to get to my death bed and look back and say, "yeah, I didn't do shit with my life because no one else I know did and everybody was playing Warcraft."
Just sayin.
Hey, you're the one who made the claim. I responded. That's on you.
Quote:If someone wants to spend their life doing something they enjoy, why shouldn't they? I bet you wouldn't see someone who spent their life mastering a musical instrument or playing a sport as wasting their life.
I totally would think they were wasting their life if they did nothing with it. I've learned an instrument and performed hundreds, if not thousands of shows - many with major national acts.
I'm not the grand judge for useful lives, but I have an opinion about people that waste away month after month, year after year playing a worthless game that means nothing and I am sharing that opinion in an appropriate place.
If you can offer me evidence that spending years in front of a TV monitor shooting zombies and crashing cars has any kind of redeeming value I'll consider your point. Until then, I'm going to stick to the opinion that playing video games should be kept to rainy Sunday afternoons at the most.
