Do you play game?

Some foreign topics first. I really love this BBS News, "Seagull becomes crisp shoplifter." This one is crazy: "Elastic-kid." This can be good learning: "Statetris."

Konami released a Metal Gear Solid 4 trailer. This movie is telling more about the game. I have never played the game, it seems too complicated or difficult. Maybe soon they will start a TV ad, but it won't be a lovely one like before. (That ad is really one of my favorites!!)

I had given up playing this type of game. I won't spend my time to find treasure or fight the monsters anymore. When I was a student, I had enough time to kill and the game itself had some novelty. Times have changed, technology has developed, so the effects and visuals have got to be great. But the basic concept of the games is the same. For me, it seems to be "killing time" still now. Is the story great? It helps you do something? I don't think so. People who have a lot of things to do won't play games, but people who have time to kill can play games. I wonder if this will be related to the expanding gap between busy and not-busy, rich and poor in the future. Games maｙ be toys for lower classes in this way. Do you think I say too much? I got a DS for my parents, and I got a Wii for exercise. Nintendo looks as if it is trying to break those situations.

Anyway, I think I should worry more about this country than games. Look at this site, "Ani Gao Girls (anime face girls). It's a sort of photographing studio service. You go to a studio and take photos of girls wearing anime face masks. But they can provide this service because they have some customers. Check the movies on this page. Weird and freaky. きもい！　きもすぎる........

To refresh, this is a cool movie of Yokai ningen Bem.

Okay, that AniGaoGirls thing is just frightening…!

My wife is the gamer in our family. She says that she hates the sort of role-playing game that involves finding treasure or fighting monsters, because she feels as though such games are "training" her for worthless behavior. She only wants to control the game, rather than being controlled by it.

I am agree with you that the core concept of games, particulary the RPG and Adventure; have been killing monsters, cracking down quizs,finding treasures. What they have changed and developed more are just fabulous graphics. On the other side of the coin,however, I do not agree that games are designed for just "killing time" like what you mentioned. If we control time to have fun with games, I still can see a lot of benifits.
