Some people say that you shouldn't play video games over break. I, for one, think that it is not only reasonable, but almost the point of vacation. To play video games over break is to relax. Video games take away stress (unless you're playing the original Ninja Turtles Game) during normal times of work and school, or whatever else you're doing. Vacations also take away stress, and when you combine the two, say playing Pokemon on a beach after playing volleyball and swimming, who the hell is to judge me? I'm doubly relaxed, and you're looking skeptically at the dude on the beach with a DS. I'm the one who is right here. Is it really wrong to play video games whilst on vacation? I for one, don't think so. 

Yesterday I bought a GOTY edition of Oblivion. I am very removed. I am playing Borderlands, Fallout 3, Oblivion, and Banjo Kazooie: nuts and bolts right now, as well as Scribblenauts. I live in the past.  
Being a student, i like to buy stuff cheap, when it's old, and visit CAG a lot. I don't buy games when they come out. IF I do buy a game around the time it comes out, it will be an RPG or a multiplayer game, because I love grinding out an RPG until I have 1000 gamerscore in that game, or darn well close to it. Also, multiplayer games like MW 2 are just good ways to pass the time. If I've had a bad day, I'll play MW 2 to get some stress out, and when I'm not doing student things, I'm playing RPGs. I just quit WoW too, so there are plenty of games out there for me to get. New games mean nothing to me. I'm waiting until summer to play Dragon Age or I will fail my classes.
