After 40 years of gaming starting with space invaders in the local chip shop and graduating to the latest PC titles i gave it all up . Don ' t play at all anymore . There is now a formula for most games and it doesn ' t change . It ' s become cyclical now and repetitive . The same stuff is now being repeated sure the scenarios and graphics have changed but the essence hasn ' t in fact it ' s got less imaginative since the early days . I believe most gamers will reach that point some day now i make stuff instead and have an end product because gaming is ultimately a pointless exercise sure an enjoyable one but still pointless . <| sep |> I see people on the highway now and then texting while driving . I think that I should call the police , but it doesn ' t seem like they ' d actually send a cruiser to track the guy down . Can anyone tell me that it isn ' t a waste of time ?
