Bad law, this basically kills the online gaming hobby for people under 18. I think there is a lot of value in online multiplayer games, personally. People aren't robots, they need a way to relax, and I find it an amazing way to have a bit of competition in my life when I struggle to fit in anything else.

I watched an interview with David Harbor and he made a really amazing point. ( David is an avid poker player ): D&D is a lot like poker, in that it doesn't get REALLY good until you've been doing it so long that you get the feeling you should REALLY be doing something else.

I feel the same way about gaming. I play a lot less anymore, and that is because the way to play a game is to dive in and really immerse yourself in it for a few hours straight.

Hell, you can't even get warmed UP in an online FPS game in under an hour.
