You sound very absorbed with this, and distracted. With your unique natural creative talents, temperement, and thought focus. Are you serving others for the greater GOOD by doing this video game thing? Sorry, but I am pretty anti-"STUFF-MART" And am aware of marketing bombardment and cathedrals to consumerism (malls) Why not spend your life doing something real, and truly useful? Put your game controller down, go outside, do a cartwheel and smile at people for Gods sake! What did your mom do to play/teach you in lifes interactions? Walk away from the games for a bit...just to take a breath and re focus. Just for a month or so. It wouldnt hurt you.
Love, nobody.

many parents over react to the "video game violence" issue, its really quite simple. If you have a small child give them a gameboy or a gamecube that have inocent games like mario. do not give a child an xbox. wow now that was simple wasn't it. oh and ratings are ofn the front AND back of every game so dont be so oblivious!
