Excuse me? What's wrong with it? I love my wii. My Xbox 360 gets maybe an hour of playtime and then it collects dust.Haydyn said:

so i started reading this and then i saw you said ps3. and then i knew you werent hardcore to begin with. so i guess you didnt change anything.
Mass Effect 2 will be awesome, if they make the combat a little tighter and fix the framerate this time around it should be an all time great.MaxTheReaper said:

Simalacrum, as this thread is very personal to you, you'll probably be watching it like a hawk, so i won't be brief.
Tips:
Watch other people play games, the more addictive, the better (CS, WoW, etc.). See their time tick away, frustrations projected at a LCD screen, the accompanied diet, and reaffirm for yourself that that is not the person you want to be.
When the habit rears it's head, do something that gives you peace (you've already mentioned circus skills, Nmil-ek mentioned gym, drawing and pshopping), i use wood carving and painting miniatures (i have very shaky hands, every beautiful thing i make is a victory). Don't just use this in game habit situations, every stressful situation should be remedied by this (to make it a better habit).
After say 6 weeks, whenever you see a fresh game mechanic or attractive graphics engine, by all means, pick it up! Pride yourself in your ability to put it down when you've gotten the jist. That's more knowledge in your bag, without the baggage of unfulfilled pleasure of needless repetition.
If stricken by doubt, post a thread on this forum. The people here are decent, au contraire to some parts of the Internet.
Hope you won't find this too preachy,
Mojave

You spend far to much time posting on here to play games you silly little pink fluffy bunny rabbit.MaxTheReaper said:
Quite honestly, some hardcore gamers make me mad sometimes. Gaming has and always will be about plain and simple fun, but some people go too far, playing boring games just to prove they're hardcore. I'd rather just have fun with a hobby.
I wasnt trying to imply you were a troll... but I guess the self analyzing may have done you some good anywaysDuplicateValue said:
Only the first line pertained to your post, the rest was aimed at the OP, you know how replies in a thread generally comment or add to the original post/thought? Yeah, that.
god dont i know it i was a hardcore raider for 4 years never missed a night before i went casual 6 months ago though now i dont know what to do though im afraid i may have replaced the addiction with forum trolling and web comic reading i even read misfile something i would never have done a few years agoLittaly said:I thought this was going to be another thread squeaking "oh my god the Wii only has casual games and Natl is going to suck". I was pleasantly surprised
And I know the feeling. Quit WoW about a year ago after about three years of denied addiction, felt really good. Good luck with staying away from it.
Oh and don't worry, I have plenty of time to spare -.-
You have fun with your social life, and your outdoors, I'll be fine with my "moniter's blue glow induced tan"!
But, seriously, good for you. When it comes down to it, we're just a bunch of idiots with our own opinions, the only thing that matters is whatever you think'll make you happy, XD.
