scardella Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 It's only bad if you find yourself visualizing life as the video game or you're constantly fantasizing about playing said videogame. This is particularly true if you find yourself acting out things from said videogame. For instance, Gran Turismo can have an influence on the way you drive, or you find yourself instinctively picking out sniper points as if you were in a FPS, or even (you Photoshop junkies) rearranging, coloring and whatnot the world around you.
photosynthesis Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I am a runescape addict. It is sad, very sad, but I love slaying the demons!
philothea Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I'd be able to skip the video games if you all would just post faster to keep me entertained!
crusader1234 Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I think videogames are pretty unhealthy in general. Not evil, but definitely not good.
Aloysius Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I just don't like them and especially despise this "halo" I always hear the people accross the hall playing... I don't know my moral opinion on them, just don't like em...
photosynthesis Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I never used to play video games, but then I started getting into Civilization III and Age of Empires and it all went downhill from there... I love conquering other civilizations

Dreamweaver Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 Video games are awesome. I especially like Halo Xbox lan parties with friends. Sometimes games can be frustrating. Why play when you're angry? Games are to be entertaining and fun. At that point, I'll shut off the Xbox and do something better. Hehe, whats so bad about visualing life as a video game? : I've had times where I've wandered in a building and though, "this would make a sweet CTF map!" or something likewise.
Duc_In_Altum Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 TIme wasted on video games is time that could be spent contemplating divine majesty. Video games are not evil. But excess is. All things in moderation and all things for the Glory of God. UT IN OMNIBUS GLORIFICETUR DEUS. -Joe

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 NCAA Football 06. Got me through some rough times in my college football fandom.
Cow of Shame Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I thoroughly enjoyed the Monkey Island series by LucasArts

Cow of Shame Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 you know, I can't find a good quote site for those games...I might have to dig them out of the closet just to write out a list...
scardella Posted October 12, 2005 Posted October 12, 2005 I also liked Sam'N'Max and Full Throttle by LucasArts. I miss those old LucasArts adventure games... I heard they were working on Full Throttle 2, but it got cancelled But Gran Turismo, that is a labor of love...

Veridicus Posted October 13, 2005 Posted October 13, 2005 The Civilization Series is amazing...strategy at its finest if I do say so myself. I remember playing the original on my ol' pentium 1 100Mhz windows 3.1 computer...man 8-bit color at its finest right there...but seriously, great series. The Baldur's Gate series was amazing as well...I think Cow of Shame would agree with me there. The storyline and roleplaying options were unbelievable and I can still go back to my old save games and go after the Shadow Dragon and Kangaxx and Mellisan whenever I want...ok...so I'm a loser... Anway, asking whether a video game is evil is like asking if a box of french fries is evil. Intrinsically, no. But...if you're like my roomate and you spend more time each weekday playing halo2 than you do at class or studying or working...well then that's definitely NOT GOOD. But again, it's really up to the person playing whether they let it be a 'good' or 'bad' influence... Gaming Forever! :
