"Dano now can we take a break?"


2 hours later... (9pm)

2 hours later....

Dano c'mon man this isn't cool now can we take a break? We've been playing for hours.


2 hours later... 1 am

Why does this remind me of Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan?

Ann Landers (or the gals writing her column now) would tell you that no one can take advantage of you unless you let them.

Next time, tell him you're taking a break and how long you'll be. Then take your headset off before he can complain. Deal with whatever he does in the game in the mean time.

After all, how a good a friend is he if he needs to take advantage of you?

If I understand you correctly, Blayne, you "took a break" by playing another computer game's most tedious activity. You actually sat at your machine for something like 16 hours.

Good Lord.

I finished the original Half-Life in 23 straight, non-stop hours.

Beyond that, the extented times I've been on computer have been for work purposes and not gaming.

Besides, I'm physically incapable of doing that anymore.

This is why I don't get Xbox live, or generally support online play. I even know a couple who got divorced for reasons that probably shared a cause with the obsessive use of online gaming interaction. That's not even counting the WoW junkies I know. It's bad juju. I don't mean to be judgmental. It's more "there but for the lack of opportunity go I."

I used to be able to do that too. I used to be in love with a Half-Life online mod called Team Fortress Classic. Played that for hours on end.

I recently bought an Xbox 360 in April, and I've played it maybe 20 hours since April. Biggest waste of money ever. I guess I'm just growing past the point in my life where video games are everything.

Now cars are everything. [Smile]
