1st Person Shooter Documentary

On CTV (be sure to watch the preview) this weekend is a documentary on first person shooters. This is not a positive look at the gaming community as far as I can tell. I understand, to a point, but come on. It’s not crack for God’s sake.

I have spent tons of money buying and oodles of time playing 1st person shooters. My favourite of which has been Half-life. At one point I played so much my wife thought I was going to be assimilated into the computer. I was unemployed and needed relief from reality so I escaped into that world. Here are my stats for that time. I was even number one in OZ Deathmatch one week. I still play shooters, but a wider variety now, and not as much. I’ve even branched into RPG’s like Dungeon Siege which I finished last night. Personally, I don’t think 1st person shooters have affected me too much. What do you think?

On the upside I have made a ton of friends through online gaming. I still keep in touch with many that I met in cyberspace years ago now and, although I’ve never met them face to face, they are still friends.
