[QUOTE="BrokeAndDrive, post: 5244777, member: 89265"] I wish this rule of yours could be shoved in everyone's face. I can't tell you how many times I've had to endure a friend raving about Magic the Gathering, or how much someone else loves Kurt Cobain, or a random stranger going on about how much he loves football, because to tell them "Sorry, not interested." would [i]make [b]me[/b] the antisocial bastard[/i]. Because you're not at fault for boring everyone to tears about your high score in Halo (I honestly cannot be bothered to go learn whether or not Halo is any different than Space Invaders or Double Dragon). On-Topic: The game industry is dying... huh. Where have I heard this before. When WotC bought TSR? When 3e was released? When 4e was released? Sounds exactly the same as [president] did [scandal] therefore America and freedom will die very soon. Y2K... anyone remember that? Me neither. What about the LHC? Nope, doesn't ring a bell. Interesting how the extinction of humanity at the hands of swine flu was wholly averted by [b]everyone suddenly not caring[/b]. 2012 [i]oh em gee mayan calandurz![/i] *peers three years into the future* Can you believe that everyone freaked out over that 2012 crap? "What, Hanna Montana going into rehab?" Heh... Relax. [i]Chill[/i]. Gaming isn't any more in its death throes than the music industry dying with the advent of CD burning, the movie industry dying because of the VHS, and book-writing becoming obsolete thanks to the printing press. This alarmist junk is older than dirt, and history will repeat itself until the end of time because [b]everyone loves a good doomsday fantasy[/b]. How else can you explain the popularity of grimdark or the horror genre? [/QUOTE]
