Games are an incredible way to spend our time. They allow us to escape to other worlds, vent some steam, build some steam, and generally have fun. Unfortunately they can distract us from our real live and prevent us from living up to our true potential and set aside ambition for moment-to-moment excitement.

"I'm buying, but competitive multiplayer is not something I look forward too. I'll enjoy Forge and campaign the most."

"Well, at least one of those has a chance of becoming true. Well written, I actually did laugh aloud."

"I'd just like to point out that despite the Canadian and US dollar being so close they regularly overtake each other, we still pay $10 more in Canada because that is the way it has always been and nobody wants to change it."

"Actually, I now think that a game where the player has to deal with his own shortcomings would be much more interesting than correcting everyone else. But how would it work? It's in these areas that games need to develop."

"I completely agree. In fact, I think people need to lay off of all the games that aren't over-the-top-amazing. Just because a game isn't the best game you've ever played doesn't mean it isn't well done. But everyone has to be a critic I suppose. It's too bad that means focusing on the negative all the time in today's world."

"I would totally watch that."

"While I think that having characterized Gods, like in FFXIII it can make it very fantastical in its own right because it contrasts our own culture (which either denies the existance of Gods or make them impersonal). The concept of a pantheon of Gods which have personalities and imperfections is entirely different from what we see day to day, so it more easily takes us to another world.
I am, however, interesting in seeing a game where the characters have no idea why they have these powers. It could be taken in several directions. It could be a quest to find the source (whatever it may be), or could simply be an afterthought to another story. I like your ideas.
Also:
Religious faith should take role as a motivation in games like Splinter Cell, Medal Gear Solid, and so forth. It wouldn't have to beat us over the head with it, but rather be an afterthought. It would be an easy way to make character much more interesting and distinguished."

"Waste of money in my opinion. With titles like Battlefield and Medal of Honor hanging around I would expect Activision to try and make CoD more appealing by lowering the price a bit. If they sold it for the standard $10 then I would have to give Activision a pat on the back."

"I couldn't agree more. While I am aware that all video games use these tactics, I tend to avoid games like Call of Duty and most MMOs because of the intensity of the addictive "Skinner Box". Well written."

"This is well written and I've given you a Like, but I'd like to point out that 99.5% of all the stuff on FML is completely made up."
