About a year ago I bought an XBox 360, mainly because there was a big gaping vacant space in the bottom of my TV stand and the game console was just sitting there in the store going to waste. I bought a few games (Call of Duty: Whatever, Madden: Same as Last Year, A Two Guys Fighting Game, etc) and played them once in a while but not often. I didn't like the controller for FPS games, and the other games bored me. I kept thinking, "Hmm, I could be reading about starships and inscrutable aliens right now instead of watching my TV screen pivot around chaotically as I try to steer my soldier guy toward the enemy." Eventually I never turned the XBox on at all, and for months it just sat there waiting for my cleaning lady to dust it, going to waste again. But then -- then! -- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released. I had played previous editions of Elder Scrolls on the PC, and I was dubious about a console translation, but I *did* have the XBox after all, and I couldn't play it on my PC since I don't run Windows anymore.... So anyway, since then I pretty much do nothing but play Skyrim. I shirk my job, ignore friends and family, eat junk food, and ride my couch playing Skyrim. This guy sums it up well. It's a real problem.
