So, about five days have passed since my last entry. And to whom do I owe the blame for the recent disappearance from the world of writing and literature? Star Wars: The Old Republic Online. The Complex story telling mixed with beautiful craftsmanship, character interaction, and epic battles has left me completely addicted to the digital saga. This new found guilty pleasure has triggered a chain of emotional reactions.
After the obvious reaction of enjoyment the first was guilt. I was dealing with the classic dilemma of wasting to much time on a video game. Then it hit me. Who cares? Because the paradigm of society says that long hours of video games is "bad" I should feel guilty? I have no family nor love interest to talk to. No arrangements nor meetings to attend. If I want to spend my weekend playing video games for an ungodly amount of time then I should.
In fact I pity my fellow man because I can promise you I find more enjoyment in epic space battles with the tyrannous Imperials than I do a quick game of ten dollar beer pong in a overcrowded building with loud music. I say to hell with that. I'll take my responsibility then dive right into the front grounds of the galactic republic!
