Nice being a hypocrite especially since this is in fact a video game thread. Pot meet kettle.

Not quite the same thing.

Yeah, I am posting in a video games thread, sometimes I even play the things, but that doesn't mean I obsess over them, or, say, get extremely orgasmic when talking about my amazing super computer with 178 games install on the hard drive. If you have enough time on your hands to feel the need to own 178 games, let alone have them all installed on your hard drive at once (finding and installing all those games must have taken a good deal of time on its own), then you might need to take some time to consider all the other great things life has to offer.

Games are a great platform for immersive storytelling, and can occasionally be a great escape from the stresses of real life. I find them a good way to turn my brain off on occasion, and they're much cheaper, safer, and healthier than alcohol. But much like with alcohol, there still needs to be some moderation involved. If someone told me they had 178 bottles of liquor stocked up in their home, I'd have to assume they have a bit of a drinking problem on their hands.
