I picked up Ultimate Allience and Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii instead of buying whatever new books were out there. Also I gotta say I find Wii Sports hella fun. Would I completely give up RPG's for video gaming? Maybe. I've been playing and running RPG's for over 20 years now and there's something to be said for just being able to immerse yourself in a game without having to wait for the stars to align themselves with everyone else's schedule. and people complaining about rules.and people complaining about how they cant use a particular PrC.or how X, Y  and Z is broken or overpowered.  etc, etc...Sometimes people arent worth the time and effort, sometimes they are, but I'm finding more and more I have less and less patience for the type of nerd pendantry RPG's tend to attract. And the fact that more than a few people look down thier nose at video games as if they were the red headed stepchild of RPG's doesnt help that impression. I'd really for the most part just like to play the game and have fun. Video games allow me to do that for the most part. RPG's used to, when everyone was all wide eyed and innocent. Back when gamers simply fixed or adjusted a rule as opposed to griping and attacking the designers and anyone who disagrees with them on it. So yeah, I still love the idea of RPG's when I've found a good group, but video games are a good substitute at times when that isnt available.</blockquote>
