I think Saint Vicious (I almost wrote Sid Vicious, lol) has it right. I've got crap going on outside of video games... job, bills, debt, my footie club is crap right now, and through all of that, I can fire up my XBox for an hour or two and escape. Everyone needs something to escape into a little bit. A good book, a TV show, a movie, or a video game...hell, I love to go fishing, too. I have friends that go bird watching (and they take that very serious).
So, my point Cloud Smurf, is that you should get off your high horse and stand on the ground with the rest of us. We enjoy a game, we discuss a game, we argue over a game, but in the end, we all just want to have some fun.
