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.

Oh, I wasn't taking it as a knock against me, I was just saying it actually was a good opportunity; to be honest, my degree is in radio/TV so finding a job actually isn't so much easier with my education, which is why I've been thinking of getting a more marketable degree like an MBA.

Sorry if I came across defensive, I was just saying it wasn't actually a bad gig had I been able to do it, all things considered, it just turned out it was not for me at this time.

We helped my older brother move a month ago or so. Not terrible, but it does take a while. Hope you like the new place!
