Sometimes it's not that we can't cope in, its just accepting ourself that we don't fit in and cherishing the uniqueness of ourselves. Take care there. =) Haha, I agree with the balance =p.

I totally agree that playing games at home is cheap. I myself do that to pass time too but we shouldn't measure our time in monetary value. We measure our life of our experience, not what we do and how much it cost. Being rich in life is not how much you have/save, is how much we have been through. Feeling left out? I feel so too sometimes. I can't be bothered with that because I have my life to go on, not following others. If you can't cope in, get out. I'm sure everything we do has its benefits. We should spend time on each activity moderately, not dwelling in it. Moderation is the key to a balance life.

I would never have expected that it would have reached this level of desperation and addiction. I also know a few friends who are soaked up into this game like it was their real life. Trully the South Park representation of it is scarily true to its point. Having a proper conversation with a group of them is almost impossible. All they talk about is quests, items and all that BS jargon I can't be stuffed about. Experiencing that makes me feel a bit shy of even playing DotA on a daily basis previously, haha. I had a fren who once argued that playing WoW a day costs like 50c daily so its fairly cheap. The argument is that going out is expensive, which is true. What would your argument be for that? hehe. But trully, this is another passing social facade. Most girls can argue that their guy friends are spending too much time on games, while most of the time they themselves are soaked up in Facebook and Myspace. Its just following the trend to not get left out. What do you think? =p The link was really an eye-opener.
