I think as more people get into gaming, the stigma will lessen further. You see all types of people playing games now, even FB or mobile games, that would have never played video games in the past. As games continue to cross demographic lines, I think we'll see an even bigger change in attitude...

Oh, this is a really good question. I would also like to know about such games. I really like the word games as well. Very cool, Nate. Thanks for the info. That sounds pretty amazing.

It seems to me that someone who is actually addicted to a video game isn't going to be out hurting people, or out doing anything else. They're going to be sitting in front of the game 24/7 or as much as possible. I don't really think most people are attracted to games because of violence. I...

Thanks for the info, Jay. I wasn't aware of how many different ways it can be used. I just knew she wanted it for a certain game. Good stuff!

Ah, yes, I've also heard good things about TERA. Worth a look as well, especially since it's free. Thanks. World PvP, or spontaneous PvP can be great fun. I miss it in WoW. I mostly stick to rated since randoms aren't nearly as much as they used to be. People just jump in, run around, farm HKs...

My kiddo wants to make games. She's been working on one since she was little (characters/storyline etc). I do believe that someday she'll make her dreams come true. I'll come back here someday to post about it, so you can all play it. :D

I don't try to flame people, but I have to admit that I have been known to respond in kind at times. I try to avoid doing that mostly, but some people don't know when to quit. I usually only speak up when someone is picking on other people or giving them a hard time.

Thanks guys. I have heard that Guild Wars 2 has fun PvP. I might give that one a try. Any other ideas? WoW PvP is definitely different from others (from all I've heard). Most people don't think it's very good. I have had fun with it, but it is always ridiculously unbalanced and it can be...

I enjoy PvP, but I've only really played WoW seriously. I've heard that other games do PvP better, so I'm looking for opinions on the best PvP games. I like the MMORPG thing but would also consider others. I like team based PvP as well, like RBG and arena. Single player could work too I guess...

Oh, great question. I wanted to know about this as well. Thanks for asking, and thanks for the answers and further info. My kiddo will be happy to hear this.

Everyone is different, so I try to give everyone a chance. I do have to admit that as I get older, I have less patience for obnoxiousness, and especially rude/hateful stuff (it's not always the youngest ones acting that way but sometimes it is). I don't really care that much about age as much as...

Ha, don't feel bad, Klein. My husband still wipes the floor with me at most games. lol. I do manage to beat him at pool once in a blue moon, but most video games and such, I'm a goner.

I'm not really addicted to any games. If I had to choose one, it would have been World of Warcraft, which I used to play hardcore for a few years. It's been a great, fun, long-running game. I used to be pretty serious but not sure I would say addicted.

Thanks for the link. That's a pretty decent review overall, not just hype and fluff. Personally, I will probably wait until WoD goes on sale. This is the first time I haven't been excited about a new expansion. The others, I hit the ground running, but this one, I can wait. Most of my friends...

Everyone has different tastes, and my kiddo LOVES all things Final Fantasy. If I showed her your post, I'd hear about it the rest of the day. lol I've never played any of this series, but she keeps trying to persuade me. I've seen her and my other family members play, but I never have. I might...

Yep, I hung out with my brother and his friends as well, Maryann. Such a tomboy lol, but I sure had fun. I think my brother was actually a little bit proud that I could kick some of their butts at games, although he would have never admitted it. haha. Those high score contests could get intense.

They are made that way on purpose, lol. Just enough frustration to keep you determined to beat it (or to pay up when/if you can't). The psychological aspects of game making are very interesting, although somewhat questionable as well. lol

My kid wants one, but I didn't think it was worth it. Now she says it's because there are some games that can only be played on PSP that she wants. Something Final Fantasy. Still not sure it's worth it.

People are just too quick to judge others, I think. I always hear how gaming is being unsociable, yet I started gaming to be more sociable. I live out in the boonies, and there's nothing to do around here. So, I can log on, jump in vent, and play and chat with people from all over the world.

It probably is the one on the 70s show... Yeah, I was 8 when it came out. Man, I went from "Ah, the good old days," to "Dang, I really am a geezer." lol Look at that thing! Imagine being cool for having one. haha
