Are playing too many free games online bad for you?
As if all of the game systems of the major corporations are not bad enough, all of these up and coming video game designers have the nerve to start making games outside of the norm, completely free of corporate interests and meddling, and totally true to their vision and artistic integrity. Then they have the unmitigated gall to put these games up on free sites, so that people can play them completely free of charge, and comment on them like they are a part of the actual process to make these games better.
Absolutely, playing too many free games online is bad for you. If you play too many free online games, you will start thinking that games do not have to be totally about violence, or sex, or both... that they can be insights into the psyche; that they can be testaments to gameplay over technology; that they can still give you those goosebumps that you got when you popped in that Sonic the Hedgehog cartridge and heard that Green Hill Zone music for the first time. Even the Playstation Network and XBox live are trying to get in on the ground level. But their designers have long since been corrupted and are unable to make games with true integrity any more. To really get that gaming experience that you love, go for the anonymous. Maybe playing too many online games is bad for you, but so is drinking, and you do too much of that already, too
