Why am I so bored? I figured I'd be at the apartment, chillin,
and being my normal rad self, but I just feel so bored with every game
that I play, every web page that I check, and every random video I
see. I wonder if this is how the gamers lose their flow, and
become 9-5ers who aren't too big on video games. Yes, in
hindsight, it makes sense, but when you're a game addict -- you just
LOVE it.
I remember the DDR days. It wasn't only the game. The game
got you in -- the community kept you in. Joe is one great example
of that. After the DDR phase past him, he still hangs with those
people, and he found the friends that he clicks with more than
anything.
Lately I wonder if I could have been someone like that -- meeting
random people, becoming friends with DDR as an initial similar hobby,
but letting it progress past the game. Pres was freakin cool, and
I kinda wished I could have chilled with him more often, but other than
that, I never really knew anyone much from that sort of group.
Just a bunch of screen names, psuedo-characters, online forum nicks,
and random internet gossip.
Sometimes I love boards, while sometimes I realize what an idle time it is.
