    Games are lame. I'd rather play fetch or go for a walk with a dog or cat. If it's gonna get you all enraged then why bother? Hobbies ought to make a person feel good and reduce stress not bring on stress and anger. I don't see the point in wasting time with something that gets you one all riled up.

      I agree and disagree with parts of your comment. Its true that if something bothers someone that much then it could be time to take a break. The "games are lame" part though I can't agree with, that is the sort of thing that people say to things they don't like or understand and therefore must bash it, mostly from people who haven't really played games at all or group all games as the same. When approached in an unbiased manner, games can be quite fun and some people's idea of fun aren't the same.

        Well, the games are lame bit isn't really bashing video games, as much as it's my personal opinion. I tend to feel like they serve no purpose. I dunno what sort of game would honestly appeal to me. Maybe some brain game, learning type of thing that could improve my IQ would appeal to me.

        Regardless of my personal feelings I think it's a waste for OP or anyone to continue with an activity that causes them to feel enraged, it's not a healthy way to live.

          Yeah, I just get a little defensive when I hear that games are lame given the different types that could pull even a non-gamer but everyone can definitely have their own opinion. Its like how when the Wii came out, people of all ages who hadn't played a game in years or at all would flock to the TV playing Wii Tennis or something simply because it was that much fun. I'd suggest Osu! to anyone, a good free music rhythm game that has popular songs to jam with yet still can be pretty challenging.

          Of course games serve a purpose...but sometimes people would not learn the true lesson behind it and continue with the games playing them instead.

      Many games are lame but definitely not as a media form, there are still many games such as bioshock infinite that show it as an artform tackling important issues and showing complex narrative ideas

      There's different types of games. I enjoy Minecraft, because it's peaceful, and cozy. It's raining outside, and I'll make myself a nice hot cup of tea and settle down to play it. First person shooters are a different story. Some people can play them all day. But for me, they stress me out, and I can only handle like 20 minutes a day. Where as Minecraft is more like therapy for me.
