TV sucks and movies blow, theatre’s boring and music’s annoying. About the only leisure activity that’s gotten better is video games. The amount of brainpower in my Xbox 360 is mind-boggling. I can spend hours alone playing a game. The technology is really mesmerizing.
I’m currently playing Left 4 Dead 2. Never mind all the zombies, what’s really scary is how addictive the game is. Don’t play it! Seriously! You wont see your family and friends again. When I go downstairs saying that I’ll be up in a little while, my lady knows that means three hours. It’s like a narcotic. The only way to get over the rush of playing a game is by playing ANOTHER GAME!
Video games like this should come with a warning label.
PS: Is that why so many movies and TV shows are based on video games??

You said it. With so many programmed hours of gameplay, the social calendar is at a standstill until you can finish it. I’m actually considering NOT buying Halo: Reach when it hits store shelves because I’m afraid I won’t leave my basement for the next week or so after it comes out.
p.s. movies based on video games are usually terrible.
