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.

Two Words, John Titor.

I'm as critical a thinker as the next, but they just found the higgs boson god particle, and I'm wondering whats going to happen this November.

May we all be cursed to live in interesting times.

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.
