Online Gaming

Watching the movie class today I couldn't help but think about my friend Richard who use to play WOW.  He always told me that it was addictive and he actually had to break the habit.  I never believed him.  I cannot imagine being slave to something like a video game.  Sure, they're fun and entertaining, but they can't substitute (at least not for me) that adrenaline rush I get from almost any sort of activity.  I think the most fun I have ever had was either winning a wrestling match, finishing a tough climb, or skydiving.  All three gave their own different sort of rush that no one can get from gaming.  I don't care what anyone says about how good they feel when they level up in WOW.  IT IS NOT THE SAME.  People need to get back to whats important in life, and this has been a theme of my Sustainable Development class a well, things like nature, love, and just pure physicality.  I know I sound a bit hippy-ish, but it's true and YOU know it.

  1. I agree ... virtual reality is still virtual. I used to wrestle as well and definitely agree with the adrenaline rush.
