I think he’s using gaming as a scapegoat for the bad decisions he made in life – makes those choices slightly easier to cope with after all.

MMO addiction is a slightly different issue to other games imo, I don’t like the assumption that everyone that plays games is taking it to far, and that games are wasted time, frankly I’d say the average non-gamer wastes more time than I do. My gaming time is limited, and therefore precious.

My concern is that the wrong people may try to hold this up as proof that gaming is a bad or destructive thing. As the poster above said, in this persons case it’s about adiction and having the ability to know when to stop. One could easily make the same video but replace it with reading, or quilting, or wood carving.

I think he’s making it black and white when it is a matter of addiction. Especially using WoW as an example. Anything you’re addicted to can have the same effects on your life and there are plenty of people who game, and perhaps game frequently, who are not addicted. I agree–it’s a balance. Anything that’s causing one to miss out on one’s own life is cause for concern.

That being said–my gaming has gone way, way down since my writing became more of a career than a hobby. I find myself more frequently reaching for puzzle games as a short and sweet form of entertainment, rather than involving myself in huge time-sink games like The Sims or Oblivion, like I used to.

Wow, looking at that screenshot makes you realise the little touches and improvements Mass Effect 2 brought in.

If your character is that far along, probably not.

I had been looking forward to this for a while and finally played it on my current ME1 playthrough.

I echo everything you say about it and feel that it’s just too far removed from the gameplay of the rest of the game to make it interesting to me.

Such a shame.

Is the final mission reward really worth getting bearing in mind I have a level 60 character with maxed out stats/equipment?
