If you play too much, you either ebay lewt if you're playing a MMORPG, or you go to paying tournaments if its another multiplayer game.
Theres nothing wrong with massive amounts of gaming, because eventually you DO get enough of it. I speak as a long term gamer who's stayed up 3 days in a row to play games at times.
Video games hone skills too, which you can't say of TV
I think its vitally important to keep record of what users buy. This way, you can give other users tips... ALA:
80% of users that had 50% of your favorite music also downloaded groups: A,B,C
Read reviews, and mod them up/down, and your favorite critics suddenly occur... Read what they say about music and trust them because they were right all the other times.
ETC ETC, you can go deep... Right now its getting the rights to download off those punk lawyers.
I remember when you could go into a movie rental store and rent a movie, and their name wasn't Blockbuster.
That's not acting Christian, that's acting like a kind and decent person. You Christians don't have a monopoly on being nice people, in fact there's been rather a lot of torture and suffering that's happened in the name of Christianity over the years.
But they weren't acting right. You're supposed to love your neighbor as yourself. Torturing another human being isn't right.
If you are looking for world peace, Christianity is going to cause problems, as I'm sure that the idea of a world living under the name of Christianity isn't going to sit too well with Muslims, atheists, etc. If world peace is your goal (and not spreading Christianity), you'd be much better off acting in the manner you describe as "Christian" but dropping any reference to religion. You don't need a god to be a nice person.
Read my first book on my website, I said exactly the same thing! Religions may cause problems, how do we mesh together? But later in life, God spoke to me and revealed himself. Theres no way that I as a person can deny God since he showed me he exists. If you've read the New Testament and still don't want to believe in God, thats your own buisness. But its definately worth a read, and the Good News bible is in easy English, none of those hasts and thous.

I sat down not too long ago, and blew through most MAME, Commodore 64, nintendo, atari2600 game made.
You take in a culture if you remember what date one game came after another.
The new kids can't really experience what it was growing up on a trim diet of video games, they got them all at their hands.
Today it takes a lot of time for a good game to come out, so we're still forced to play old games or nothing at all. I recently just beat Dracula on Castlevania 1 without dying the whole game. Mame lets you save your replays:)
Of course, if you know video game culture, and what's came out before, you really really know how BLEAK things look out there, especially with the corporatization of sequel ideas over new ideas.
The best thing we have to look forward to is a better PlanetSide, or a Virtua Fighting World Online. Games that take whats known and make an intensive RPG for longer game lasting play, and online games give great dynamics for competition and cooperation.
Dungeons and Dragons by Turbine should be cool, as well as Lord of the Rings by Turbine. World of Warcraft looks semi cool. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas looks cool.
My favorite RPG of all time still remains Legacy of the Ancients for Commodore 64: http://www.legacyoftheancients.com/
I'm really a sick video gamer too, I've competed in world championships and did well. I'm famous through Starcraft/Warcraft3. I really know what I'm talking about on this stuff.
People think theres unlimited ideas for a video game, but theres only so much you can do, and you see lots of video games being the same. Take River Raid for example, it was copied in all those side shooters, Gradius/LifeForce/etc. Theres hundreds of side shooters. Once you play one style of video game the bar is raised, if another game can't give you at least as good as features, then it loses out. Not a lot of people see this.
Right now theres nothing worth playing, so I'm writing up my own video games. www.pathofdreams.net/crazyj
I'm still trying to get a foot in the door of the video game industry, but it seems like I'll have to code a whole game myself before that'll happen.
A computer programmer seems to: #1: Get hired #2: Do a job #3: Look for next job
Over time, theres more people looking for jobs(college grads + veterans), while there are less jobs available.
Personally I have a scientific computing degree from Carnegie Mellon, and I have one job lead after 2 years of looking. I also have extensive hobby programming experience: www.pathofdreams.net/crazyj
Its the revolution that was predicted back when people argued if invention was a good or bad thing since people lose their jobs to machines.
People expected a utopia where machines do all the work, and people had lots of free time to do what they want. Now we don't exactly have the utopia unless you're a rich stock holder. But we do have a new class of educated poor people.

VOIP is profitable goal monetarily. It will inevitably lead to the picture phone like off the Jetsons.
More importantly, God spoke with me the Good News.
He does exist, I'm 100% certain on it. Check out my website:

When you give the masses the option to borrow money and have their kids pay for it, its an overwhelming "YES!"
We need a balanced budget ammendment or the US is fucked in the long run.
I may not be able to prove God exists, but I can explain why he doesn't show himself to everyone:www.geocities.com/James_Sager_PA
Just more Anti-Dentite propoganda for you.
One of my dreams being a central library with all content 20 years ago and before on it.
People could pick their favorite movies and books, and another person could use their recommendations to see whats worth viewing.
With a central library, our culture as a whole would be better off. This bill gives more power to the most powerful people.
That is of course in addition to the fact that its so broad that it makes owning a computer illegal because you could copy things with it.

I could code it, but I don't want to spend my whole life on it.
Some other things I knew would happen in 1993 are: MMORPGS, online auctions, online personals, and instant messaging
I tried coding a MMORPG, but I spent 2000 hours then Ultima Online came out so I gave up.
Lineage 2
I think Dark Age of Camelot
Maybe Starwars Galaxies
First it was problems setting up software or getting the printer to work.
When my mom asks me about her spyware problem, I can't answer. I just say that she almost shouldn't be on the internet anymore.
That RFID was in licence plates. At regular intervals, they'd broadcast the plate numbers.
Cop cars could recieve this data and investigate stolen cars.
For real I dreamt that idea.
Blizzard uses a CDKEY to validate the game is legitamate and not pirated.
BnetD allows you to play without a CDKEY.
In fact thats the only thing good about bnetd is stealing Blizzard games.
Blizzard is one of the few companies that makes quality video games anymore. I don't see why people are up in arms against them.
Back in the early 80s, there was the TI-99 and it had some math games on it.
I played that for hours on end, it helped me through all my math up to Differential Equations.
Just don't think of implanting these in my body any time soon.
I'm not for certain, but I think someone brought this point up before.
Automated tellers that spit tickets somehow was left in OS mode.
First I recalibrated the bad touch pad.
Next I opened notepad by a recent file.
Next I started copy/pasting letters RANSOM NOTE style.
I entered some wierd mode where numbers kept spewing down the screen like the matrix.
I was trying to snag some free tickets, but the matrix movie was about to start so I bolted.
It allowed you to play the game without paying for a copy.
This may be ok for a game that's been out for years, but bnetd had warcraft3 before it was in stores!
Colleco vision was pretty cool in its day, but Cabbage Patch kids diverted Colleco's attention there.
But yeah I was morbidly depressed that I was playing all my same atari2600 games, but luckily Nintendo and C64 came out in 85.
Now we're all waiting for Massively multiplayer river city ransom, but just don't know it yet.
