Playing Games Seen as Brainless Hobby?

Richard Goodness writes "Recently I watched Simon Bysshe's film Modern Day Gamer. The film is a natural springboard for some talk of the shared experience of videogames and the legitimization of gaming as a form of entertainment. Therefore, in '2 Legit 2 Save and Quit,' I come to some conclusions." A good article, with some excellent points. I took this to heart, but I see a weekly D&D session with friends as being akin to a weekly poker game but with less financial repercussions, unless one counts all the books needed.

    I agree with your point, but might I suggest Mozilla? Yeah, I know it's hard to get started with something new, like this, but it's definately worth it. Hell, despite my geeky interests, I'm somewhat of a technophobe, for both hardware and software, myself. But my switch from IE to Moz was the most drastic improvement in any tech change I've ever made. I look back on such auto-install dialogs, on pop-ups and javascript errors and the rest of that crap with almost a fond nostalgia towards a memory I'm barely sure ever actually happened.
