I also spend time considering how healthy it is spending the amount of time in our entertainment and devices that we spend, when life is about living with God. It is something I struggle with, too. And not just video games, but tv, radio, internet, cars, phones, any of these things that we spend time and money on, and make a daily part of our life.
And I also once played games religiously, Id get magazines, and keep up with what was coming out and save up every penny I had to make sure I could get them, and Id even go as far as to spend time not playing a game thinking about these games
I do think that all of these things we use as entertainment can serve as idolatry, and I have been thinking alot more on these things, too.
Okay, that being said and all, I /do/ enjoy videogames, yes My all time favorite game, Rune Factory :3 If youve ever played Harvest Moon, its a game thats taken from that, and turned into a fantasy adventure rpg.
Its basically a fantasy life sim, like being the hero of some fantasy story living your every day life, building a home, falling in love, getting married, making your living, and going off to fight baddies Its a way great game series, Im playing Rune Factory 4 for 3ds right now, a friend got it for me as a birthday gift :3
I mostly like JRPGs, and farming and life simulators, I dont really play much else And I mostly just play games on Nintendo consoles, though I play Playstation at times, and even had a 360 with one game I really liked for it
