well... i guess many gamers will totally agree with you one this issue...
i don`t have time to shoot my university commilitones either, gotta play ja2 mods...
good point after all.
btw:
games might be incredibly addictive. I once spent nearly a whole day in an internet cafe in (guess) Manila... as it was comparably cheap there...
playing some online games. The real funniest thing i saw was this like 10 or 11 year old boy playing counter-strike. In the middle of his killing spree, his mother came and brought him some bread n butter... that is a mother like every gamer wanted his mother to be like.
so, i gotta read that column now. Do you have a certain array of topics or are you free to chose what your column is all about every week?

well ja2 gotta be one of the most addictive games, as the whole micro-management comes into play and you have so much freedom in strategic planning and stuff... not to forget quests and searching maps for stuff (particuliarly in mods)
also, every quick-load and doing a tiny thing different may cause another result (as there are some roll-of-the-dice moments) in fighting... this allows enormous experimenting in fights. so this fights, taking 5-10min of game time, will take much more in real time without player noticing. maybe an effect of turn-based system...
don`t know.
thats nice to have a certain freedom of choice when it comes to topics. Particuliarly if this freedom is used to make propaganda for my favourite game...

Also, beware the callous on the mouse hand (ok, never had one, but sore fingers from a console are a hazard on the weekend)!
I still prefer (Gold edition that is) the Steyer, so that's my "good rifle".
