let me guess...You're about16 years old, barely passing your classes in school and haven't been on a date yet. There is a reason the Myst/riven series are the most popular games of all time. Some of us don't have 8-10 hours in a day to devote to gaming (I'll say this more clearly for you to understand: a lot of us have jobs, kids and real responsibilities that require our attention elsewhere than in fron of a computer screen). You seem to be in need of an attitude adjustment-perhaps I can recommend picking up a book once in a while
macamaniac,
That is fairly insulting. If you didn't mean to insult every teenage gamer, I still take offense to your sweeping, overbroad sterotypes. I am a 17 year old high school student, going to U of I or Purdue (haven't deceided which yet), taking 6 classes per semester (1 college Java programming class, one AP Calc class), has a job and I still find time to game almost every day and keep my grades up. Granted, my job is not for 8-10 hours a day like yours, however I can still game for an hour or an hour and a half every day or two.

I thought that we were past the 90's. While it is not available for Mac, CounterStrike has over 5 million players and that stat was based in the late 90's. How many times have you heard some say "Man I just got Riven" compared to "I was just playing CS." I don't even have to use the example of CS. Rouge, Maxx Payne, Wolfenstein, Medal of Honor, Quake 1, 2 and 3, Unreal/Unreal Tournament are all valid examples. I would rather play a game that requires you actually do something intertaining. Playing Myst is like attending class.

If you have a job, you should be doing work while your at work. That is what your getting paid for. If you have kids, you shouldn't be playing computer games anyway unless it is with your kids. How does my job have less "real responsibilies" than your job? I have a lot of things that require my attention also - I play football and fly light aircraft, and everything else that I do.

The fact is that students work just as hard if not harder than people who have a full time job. When was the last time that you went to work for a whole day, then came home and did 3 or 4 hours of homework and studying? When was the last time you took a test? Even if you have brought your work home with you, it is not required. Additionally, we are kids - not yet 18. We should be allowed to enjoy what you used to be enjoy - freedom to have fun and play what games WE CHOOSE. YOU seem to be the one in need of an attitude adjustment. You recommend that we pick up books? I do pick up books everyday - before I go to class. I recommend that you read a book on gaming strategy and if you need something more "adult" and challenging then choose a novel from an actual author.
