There were 5 of us who lived on that floor, all good friends, it was a typical microcosm of college life; 2 nerds, a jock, a stoner, and a foreign guy. One of our dorm mates was your typical nintendo fanboy, and when Resident Evil 4 came out for the gamecube, we didn't see or hear from him for 3 days. No socializing, no classes, just gone. The only reason he's still alive today is because a friend went in to ask if he was ok. He peered back at her, sitting in his glowing, tv-lit dorm room with eyes the color of cherry tomatoes, pizza boxes littered around him-- only to say "what?". We later checked his gameplay time, and it did indeed coincide with the few days he went missing. Now that's gaming.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092463760286231519.post-69185283438082135462010-07-14T15:05:35.468-04:002010-07-14T15:05:35.468-04:00I don't think I've ever been too bad in th...I don't think I've ever been too bad in this regard, but I do tend to get somewhat obsessed with Bioware RPGs when they come out. Usually I don't play games during the week very much, but if it's by Bioware, I'll play during every spare moment.MSUStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10280946925561326328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4092463760286231519.post-73681927626030192172010-07-14T14:25:08.921-04:002010-07-14T14:25:08.921-04:00It's not always a bad thing.

At the time, it seemed foolish, but looking back -- that game saved my life!Barry Bnoreply@blogger.com
