this because I had a revealing experience one night on 4chan. I clicked on an amusing reaction pic on the homepage which led me to /v/. There was an OP who lamented about going through all the greatest games, so he didn't know what next to play. After much rummaging, there appeared advice from two worthy anons who stated that he should simply play worse games. Even if he hated it, he should finish them, and then play more. "What a sad existence," I thought to myself, and after that I never felt the same about games. Another alternative is to simply stop playing them--even for leisure time.
What do y'all non-Gillipigs think?
Every male has a certain amount of competitiveness that allows him to survive, and thrive in the world and compete for women. By deploying our competitiveness to video games, we are using less on acquiring goods, and less towards impressing women to bed.
Video games are a plot by the Japanese to make us try to compete harder so that they can marry all the Rosebowl queens. Those online videos of crazy Japanese gamers aren't real - it is a ploy to make Americans work harder at it.
That's why Eastern RPGs have preset storylines. They want to beat the game quickly and then bang someone. Western RPGs are openended, so you can have relationships in Fable or Oblivion.
This is further compounded by the fact that asians are more evolved than Europeans, as evidenced by their collective neoteny.
If you want evidence, look at how more successful biologically they are. 2 billion Asians vs. 30 million Czechs and 150 million Germans.
tl;dr: you should just worship safariguy
