What? I said nothing even remotely resembling that.

chach's comment had nothing to do with critique - it doesn't really matter to me what game he likes or dislikes, that wasn't the point. What he said indicated that someone who plays one particular game is somehow wasting their time more than another. That was my only gripe. To use your analogy, it would be like saying listening to one type of music is automatically more rewarding than another - which is simply not true. It's just music - it's not going to cure cancer, I don't care what Bono says.

Originally posted by chach Well chill it'll be ok. My comment was blunt and without explanation. WOW carries a stigma that most other video games aren't associated with. This is a game that has been known to destroy lives relationships and families. Being elitist has nothing to do with it, as a gamer I've put plenty of hours into rpgs on various different consoles. I don't know about you but now as a full time worker and student I can't afford to put such effort into a "childs interactive media" Sure I could stop going to the gym on a nightly basis not play indoor league soccer or flag football, but all that entails a life. Hell if I could I would lock myself in a room with a mound of coke and play WOW for a week straight sadly enough I can not.

Goddammit, why ya gotta make me like you again?

And halcyon you sir are an idiot. There are plenty of studies that prove the effects of listening to certain music so your analogy sucks.

All of those studies are either completely bunk or produce extremely temporary effects. The Mozart Effect has been indicated to be an almost complete hoax or simply just shoddy science. Try harder, you stupid fuck.

You'd better be busily scurrying for reliable sources to present your non-argument to me. OR SO HELP YOU.
