I go long periods of time where I don't play any video games, and then play one obsessively for a week or two.

I kind of strongly dislike the state of video games at present.

I do tend to keep something in my DS to play before I fall asleep, though, or on me when I know someone else will be driving. Before it was Pokemon but lately it's been Dragon Quest IX.

It's definitely not something I like spending very much time doing. It eats up wayyyy too much time and most games cost an awful lot.

What are some of your hobbies then, DWN?

There's got to be something done in the absence of that big time sink.

debulover: Might explain that later, not now. Irrelevant for this topic, anyway.

Kawaiidebu: Aside from school and work, I don't really have that many hobbies aside from drawing. I do read from time to time and do walks, but that's it.

No one genre in particular, just whatever piques my interest.

I'd agree with that, outside of fighting games I don't play much. I think I have to be with friends to make games more exciting.

Ditto you two; lately I've been finding that playing with friends is way more fun. In fact I cleared out my friends lists on Steam and the 360 except for people I know.

I totally need to do that, I still have a lot of chaff that needs to be scrapped from my Xbox friend list who I only played with once or twice in some game I don't play anymore.

Kinda sorta? There are honestly long stretches of time where I just don't play any games. I dunno what it is, I enjoy them when I do play them, but eventually I lose interest and just watch videos and surf online and chat for months. And I almost never finish any of the games, so I'm not really sure what my deal is despite generally liking video games.

I'm not trying to diss anyone here, but I can't see myself not ever playing video games. Not only because of how integrated it has become in my personal culture, but video games are my biggest source of artistic inspiration. It's not just about the fun I have, but video games that do more than just entertain and tell a story I can immerse myself is a thing I find strangely nurturing and hardly a waste of my time. It's like watching a good movie or reading a good book, it's refreshing. Sure, there are games that don't provide much more than a cheap thrill or a short break, but I like that I can lose myself in stuff like that too. I'm not saying you should get into games because you're missing out on the best thing ever (although I think it's unfair to say that games are a waste of time), just sharing my opinion is all.

I'm sorry, are you stating something witty with that or are you just confirming my statement?

I'm not stating anything about video games other than the fact they don't interest me. I'm asking this because a lot of the FA crowd is particularly young and of course embrace video games. Since that isn't the case for me, I'm kind of in the minority in a lot of circles and I always feel like the odd one out.
