In Response To: Re: Wired - The Mythical 40-Hour Gamer (DoT Gunslinger) : I get annoyed that the few times that I do log onto Xbox Live I get told this : every game, when in fact I have a job, a girlfriend and am in college. : Just because you are good at video games doesn't mean you devote all your : time to them. Ever heard of hand-eye coordination folks? Of course most of : my work and school involves working with my hands so I guess I have good : hands for video games. : Just because you suck does not mean I play Halo all day long...of course I : will never make fun of you for not being as good as I am (or worship you : for being better). Its all about having fun. The point of the article (if I understood it correctly) was not about suckage or non-suckage. To the best of my knowledge, skill/suckage is something entirely different and generally unrelated to how much time someone has to spend on a game. It was about folks who have less time than they used to for games. It sounds like you have found and reached your own balance point for your time and priorities. I would imagine that you've noticed a change over time and are aware that it's likely to change as time goes on and your life changes. Someone who plays constantly isn't guaranteed god-like skills and someone who plays when they have some spare time isn't certain to suck. If my statement aroused your ire, I offer my apology. I wasn't attempting to say anything negative about folks who have the ability and choose to spend more time gaming. Or maybe I misunderstood your post... I tend to do that sometimes, and if so, you again have my apology.
