why do I keep getting absorbed into kids' games?

My little sister bought the new Paper Mario yesterday and I've been playing it nonstop in my spare time.

This shit's cutting into my loung lizarding!!!!!!!!!

1. You're not alone

ginbarn's one of Super Mario World's biggest fans. Together, we unlocked the "ultra-secret" levels in that game. Way cool.

4. oh god, don't get me started.

I'll never reach 2000 posts this week if i keep playing this game.

Funny, my alcohol habit doesn't hurt me as much as the nintendo one...

2. Who said it was a kids game?

Mario and an RPG is gaming goodness. Who said adults can't play games? What are we supposed to do? Sit around and ossify? The point to life is to live it. You decide how.

What's the point of being an adult if you can't act childish every once in a while? Hmmm? - The Doctor

5. Ossification does tend to be a bit dull

RPG-ing is nice, but sometimes I just want to mindlessly kill hordes of cyber-beings. It seems to take the edge off of losing elections.

7. I'm used to getting addicted to the bad kinds of games

with gratuitous violence!!

My favorite of last year was Red Dead Revolver. Western Theme. Great storyline. Lots of roles to play. Very fun.

6. Working on the moon

This game addicts anyone. My GF's brother got it and his wife got hooked on it. He advised my GF to get it for me for xmas. She got hooked on it. Who knew rolling junk up in a ball was so much fun? Makes you take another look at dung beetles.

11. you're a prince

and you roll things into a giant ball (starting off with a ball smaller than a thumbtack, you eventually roll up cars and city blocks and all manner of things in between)...

Here's a pretty good review of it -
