Anger
!
!

Michael "Macstorm" Cunningham
STAFF EDITORIALIST



I'm angry. I don't even know why I'm writing this, but it needs to be written. RPGs make me angry. Very angry. Angry. Angry. Angry.

Ok, now that I've gotten that out of my system, let me begin. RPGs take up a ton of my time. There are so many other things to do in life and I spend mine playing RPGs. I have books to read, music to listen to, movies to watch, and even other video games to play, but what do I do? I play RPGs. I can't stop, it seems. My life seems to be filled with RPGs. Even the shortest RPGs these days are twenty hours long, but some even range up in the eighty to one hundred hour range. Don't even get me started on MMORPGs. A couple of those took up months of my life.

I'd be willing to estimate that I've spend nearly 5,000 hours of my life playing RPGs. Just look at what else I could have done with that time. I could have watched around 2,500 movies, read tons of books, or listened to hours of music. I could have gone for walks, played sports, built model airplane, but RPGs have been my focus instead.

Ok, so why do they make me so angry? Because I love every minute that I spend playing them. They take up a ton of my time, because that's what I enjoy doing, playing RPGs. I don't regret a minute that I've spent playing RPGs, even some of the worst ones that I've played. It just makes me angry to love something so much. I can think of no other leisure activity that I would rather be involved in than playing RPGs. I guess it's a love/hate relationship. It does take my time away from me, but I wouldn't have it any other way. That, more than anything, makes me angry.

This might not make sense to anyone else that reads this; it hardly makes sense to me, but if it does, let me know.
