Okay, with games getting ever more realistic they're getting close to real life but with sore eyes and higher electricity demands.
So here's the thing, the best 'computer game' of all is basically real life, so with all this post-exam time on my hands, I'm going to go get some exercise. Seeya.

Hi Soup Dragon... maybe you should read the response I posted to our last "conversation" before you end up looking like a moron again (everything in that piece is actually quoted, so don't disagree with what I quoted you as saying).
Anyway, onto this topic...
I think that one of the main reasons people play computer games is because you can do things that you can't do in real life. For example, could you go to a remote island and kill zombies like in Resident Evil? Could you become the World Champions like in Fifa? Could you invade Russian military bases like in Red Alert? Of course you can't, and that's why games will always have their place. In the future games will probably be more fantasy based, with games like Eternal Arcadia and Phantasy Star going beyond realism into new areas of gaming. Maybe online gaming will also be much more popular as people can interact more over the web.
Basically, what I'm saying is that games will never become just like reality, simply because there's no point. Games allow you to experience things that you can't in real life, and that's the way it's gonna stay.

Yes, you can do things in computer games that you can't do in real life, but you can also do things in real life that you can't do on computer games, like have a kick around in the park with your friends, play some basketball or kick back and chill in the sun.
What am I saying? Exactly the same thing as before, which is a tad frustrating, but I'll try to be very very clear so you can get your head aroud it.
There is room for both kinds of activity in life, and when it's a bright warm sunny summer day, the outside and alive side is generally better. Clear about it now? If you're still not, I don't care anymore, I don't appreciate these 'conversations' that never achieve anything, and are oh so repetitively feutile.
As for on line gaming, to go in a whole new direction, if everyone on the game was as irritating as you I can't decide if I'd like to kick all their buts or if I just couldn't be bothered with you all.
