i was addicted to video games since i was 6
i had finally quit the damn things two years ago and shifted my hobbies to film and literature and studying political science.
well see the thing is
i watch a movie, that's an hour and a half.
i read for three hours.
i study for an hour.
there's still 9 hours left of free time. i don't feel like watching two movies in one day and i'm tired of reading now. now what the fuck do i do?
video games are fucking shit. they're the shittiest medium there is. they're artless, schlocky and for children and I hate them. but they're the only way to kill huge amounts of time. i can play a video game for 18 hours solid whereas the superior film is only two hours at best.
so i got back into them. i bought a vita. i'm playing natural doctrine right now. the only way i have fun in video games is if they're extremely difficult. difficulty = fun to me. and this one is acceptable levels of challenge.
