I'm not bothered about it, but I'm beginning to question why not.

I truly don't like first person shooter frag fests - running around in circles blasting, blasting, blasting - gives me a headache.
I'm not that bothered about racing cars around circuits and coming first, coming last, whatever.

So I'm not interested. Should I be? Am I missing out?
Do I have a blinkered view of the whole online gaming thing?

I don't think I'll ever sign up. Maybe a massive online RPG will sway me like Star Wars Galaxies....? - but it probably won't.

Shooting and racing - that's all I see, and that's not enough to get me interested.

Because I work in jobs which constantly involve talking to random people and accepting sweets of strangers, it doens't bother me who I talk to online/offline* (*unless they smell of 'BIG ISSUE' when I give them plenty of distance)

I actually found it far easier talking to people from the forums than I do talking to people I've never "talked" with before. If you know what I mean...

After a weekend of PC online gaming my enthusiasm for Live has returned. As soon as I get some spare time I'll be back on regularly, I HATE PC online gaming, it sucks sooooooo much. And it's full of 'tards.
