Do you truly enjoy gaming?

In my dorm all I have is a SNES and PS2 and I can't justify paying $40,000 a year to play video games but god I miss it. I find by not taking games seriously I have more fun with them, actual fun. I picked up the first mario kart and had a blast by myself playing.

I think though part of what makes gaming so much fun is the people. Yeah, 12 year olds swearing at me on TF2 or Halo drives me crazy but playing multiplayer with my best chums. Man that's a great time. I think we need to step away from realism because we don't play video games to be reminded of what real life is like.

My computer is the reason I am not getting a 4.0 in school.

That's how much I enjoy gaming.

 

[More Fun To Compute]

I play everything. My arguments with RPGs is another thread entirely. What really wowed me in EDF was the final boss. It was just so over the top and insane that when I beat it I sat there for a good 15 minutes just catching my breath. The rest of the game is awesomely fun and the ants scurrying over the buildins reminds me very much of a handful of ant infestations I have had. However I have a few arguments with the game it was just really pure fun.

The enemies were introduced very nicely and then gave you many different scenarios to fight them in. I especially loved the 4 legged walker which was shown I believe 3 or 4 times before you could actually kill it. It builds up to a perfect climax. It really is a genius game in its own regards and I havnt played a game that really is genius in a very long time.

If it sounds like I am hard on shooters then we don't want to get started on RPGs.

I remember seeing the walker boss at least once. I should go back to the game and try to finish it some day but while I would say that it is fun there are other games that I have enjoyed playing more.
