Minor bump.

I've been playing more games lately and I don't feel guilty when I'm done (unless I've totally forsaken work I have to do or something), but I do feel differently depending on what game I was playing.

I've been starting to wonder why I play grindy, collecting games like Marvel Heroes (started playing maybe a month ago). It seems like I just play to grind, level up, randomly earn some new item, and eventually earn enough in-game currency to buy another hero and start again. It's not particularly fun once the novelty of trying a new hero wears off.

After playing something like TF2, though, I feel good. There's skill involved in a FPS and it is fun competing (even in a totally casual, silly game like TF2). Grinding for loot and XP has become boring to me, but playing in what is essentially a virtual pickup basketball game is much more engaging and satisfying.

People still play EQ? I think I quit over a decade ago ( though I did give eq2 a try)

Sometimes I feel guilty for waiting time, but that's not entirely rational. I try to keep things balanced, and entertainment is part of the mix.

+1 to the sentiment that when games become like work there is a problem.

i only feel guilty if i tip less than 15%, $3 min.

No to video games, yes to porn

It may help you to make both daily and weekly schedules that include leisure time:

Research apparently shows that planning and scheduling leisure time (almost contrary to the meaning of "leisure") actually makes you enjoy it more.
