Thank you very much for saying it for me.Baby Tea said:
I recently met this guy and we got talking about videogames. I mentioned Baldur's Gate II on the PC was my favourite game of all time, and he promptly called me an idiot, claiming 'Baldur's Gate isn't on the PC, it's a Gamecube game',
I almost impaled him.
When I get drunk and maudlin, I start thinking about what I could have achieved at Uni if I didn't play computer games. Then, I sober up and realize that if I wasn't wasting time on gaming, I would be wasting it on something else anyways.

having an everyday 8 to 5 office job destroys my soul enough to not get that caught up in a game. a friend of mine, however, failed some college courses and proceeded to drop out of college because of Final Fantasy 11

I got sucked into wow when I was doing flight training and I remember cutting a couple flights short to get home and play it and also I did very little studying since I would rather be working on my warrior
The short answer is the GBA version has very little to do with the PC game being referred to. Icewind Dale (similar in most ways other than specific characters and setting) was the first game that kept me playing through strength of story alone. Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale still rank highly on my list of favorite RPG's of all time.AxelMiller said:
Sorry buddy but I will call you out on it, the game did not ruin your life, YOU did. You're acting like all those assholes in the media who blame video games for influencing unstable fucks to cause harm to others. You could have simply put the controller down or shut off your comp or whatever and just walk away, doesn't matter how addicting any game is, it's that simple.
Not trying to seem assholish but it's the damn simple reality. Just like how you can't technically consider guns and weapons to be evil. They are just tools built my humans. They are not evil. Only the people who use them to harm others and who designed them for malevolent purposes are evil.
And no, this has never happened to me. No simple piece of technology can consume my life. The internet can't, and neither can video games do that.

FIXED sentence below:Sexual Harassment Panda said:
It's pretty pathetic if you make yourself play in moderation.
Ha, fair. I'm fully aware that moderation is subjective. I play alot, but I don't have a girlfriend, or studies...or even a desire to be out socialising. Although, if I had to limit my gaming time...I could.AnonymouZero said:

Let's hope he is the only game(s) that have destroyed my life are Elder Scrolls III+IV and Fallout 3
and DA:O isnt that in depth (The Great Wall of China of text and wording) and no real negative impact on "Hey,f*** you" or "Here is 5 silver" (ok so I cant screw the rogue,the templar,the witch, or the bi elf) but come on....its a wall of text and a lot of blood....
