I wish I had found that game myself, then. I probably could have stuck with the door-to-door thing if I had something to alleviate my anxiety.

Everyone keeps wishing me not to be so busy, and I want to be busy doing something other than shooting my resume in every direction, dammit! lol Granted, my fault at this point for quitting a door-to-door job, but more opportunities have opened up. Here's hoping. Not to say I won't be wishing I weren't so busy when something happens, but right now, I just need not to feel that unemployed shame.

Funny you say that about Dredd, I thought the movie was pretty decent myself. I mean Raid: Redemption was a lot better in my opinion, but I really enjoyed Dredd myself, saw it 3D in theaters. Did awful over here at the box office, but well in the UK, I think cause the comic is so popular over there from what I've read.

I'd love a new Killer Instinct, but I'm mostly interested in more console details at E3, like price.

And I don't watch GoT, but I know lots of people died at the Red Wedding, and the books get worse.

I know the feeling.

Yeah, often just having the TV in the background takes my mind off things and somehow makes me more productive cause it'll drown out my negative thoughts and keep me going with my applications and such.

I definitely think so too. I used to need to bounce a ball to not drive myself insane; luckily typing and playing games drives the people around me a bit less insane.

Well, I keep coming back to them simply because they are fun, and that in itself is a positive effect on my life, but I don't know that I can point to video games that got me through a rough patch or made me examine my philosophies. Either way, they can be art, but I'm curious what video games really get people to rank them as a favorite form of entertainment, or what games have the deepest impact on people. 

Thank you! And good luck with all your endeavors as well!

Agreed. I know what you mean about needing to be involved, and sometimes, like when I recently saw the new Star Trek movie, I think to myself "I needed that." And games can definitely have that impact and more. I haven't had one make me examine my philosophies or anything yet like certain books/movies have, but one certainly could.

Well, I'm not really one for JRPGs, but it sounds like a great story. Might have to watch an LP of it or something.

Your life has meaning no matter what is a great message.

I know what you mean about "good, normal folk" and how that can be a front. At the same time my recent experience with the door-to-door thing gave me nothing but positive impressions about church-going Mormons, and I'm the farthest thing away from that myself. And yet, I'm nowhere near biker either. Takes all kinds.

Great song choices.
