well, here goes the 2nd try. i hope everybody doesn't mind that i don't capitalize when i type. i do when i write, but not typing.
i like playing games. console games, computer games, card games, etc. i don't like word searches, but i like crossword puzzles. one idea of a good evening for me is getting together with my bros.-in-law, hooking up the LAN( !gasp! capitalized) and playing mechwarrior4 or the new counterstrike. currently, i'm getting back into mechwarrior 3, which i haven't played for 2.5 years. but, i begin to wonder.... is it unhealthy to want to play these games, which so often i play by myself, rather than spend that time doing something more constructive? now, i really enjoy playing games, and some people would say that sitting by myself, playing a 1 player game, isn't constructive, but i think it is. i find it's a good way to relax, but i think i might be crossing a line some times, because i sometimes get irritated when i don't get to play. but i do things to help my wife, help with dinner, exercise, etc. before i play. maybe the mantra "all things in moderation" or"a time and place for all things" are applicable here.

As someone who doesn't play computer games anymore it's difficult for me to answer any of your questions. Instead, I'll reminisce a little. Do you recall the time, years ago when we were still in high school, when you spent the night at my house, and we were up late playing MechWarrior, and I fell asleep while you were playing, and when I woke up in the morning you were still sitting at the computer, playing away?
ah, good times! :) i don't think i could do that again, but i have stayed up til 1 am playing counterstrike with the bros.-in-law. man, it sucks the next day, though!
Like a hangover, if I knew what that felt like. =)
