It might be work taking a look at, if even for just a minute.

If it's hard work, then I really don't think that I should look at it. Heh.

Let's get this straight, once and for all. Replies start AFTER the first post. The first post was number one. We are having a lot of trouble with this. I have therefore derived this complex formula which can be used to find the number which we should be on per post.

Let:
Reply # = x
Number of counting to 1 million = y

Thus:
x+1=y

For example: this is Reply 147. Let's plug that in for x.

147 + 1 = 148.

Good job everybody! Thanks for taking my math class.

I've been looking for Luigi in Super Mario 64. Can you post a video of that for me, please?

It's only fair. Bird Person and Kojinka aren't the only artists in the world.

Well, I suppose implementing the number into a random post is more interesting than just posting the number

I still stand in opposition to these awards, as they were unjustly swiped from me last year. This year, I am once again protesting this heinous coup. Who's with me?!

I suppose that I should have qualified that statement at bit more. You are correct, but I think that there needs to be a deep appreciation for the storyline and that there needs to be some element of truth conveyed in the storyline that contributes to the good of the person. We need to be careful not to allow the video games (be they alone or with friends) or even works of fiction take the place of real relationships and communication skills that contribute to a whole view of nature, not a merely permanent virtual (or literary) vacation.

But, yes, Chupperson is right to point out that video games can tell a good story and that there is much to be gleaned from good, well-told stories.

... but privacy and solitude are increasingly rare commodities in our world and I think, on a subconcious level, I'd like to milk 'em for all they're worth.

Are you really alone when you're staring at a screen? I would contend that this is not true "aloneness." While you are alone, you're not actively contemplating the world as one would in a nature walk, in reading, or in private periods of reflective silence. I fear that the aloneness that you describe, that is, sitting in front of a screen by one's self, is far too common in our world today.

I'm sure that I will be assaulted for this comment with comments like: "OMG, but ur a gamer, how can you say this?" To that, I answer, that in moderation video games are a great source of fum and relaxation, but they are not the cure-all in a world that is becoming ignorant to self-understanding. I simply am arguing that they are not quite a valid way to "be alone."
