So, in essence, the Trophy is an indicator of how you've squandered your life. When you're on your deathbed, instead of having to agonize over each poor choice and missed opportunity in your life, you can just check your imaginary thrphy room. "87 trophies," you'll scream, gripping the bed frame with the last of your strength. "I lived a hollow pastiche of an existence!"

It's all relative. This post looks as if it was written with the sole intention of provoking an argument. In which it succeeded. Games and everything about them, have always been ment to be an escape. An adventure for you to play through, something in which you cannot do in real life (which is why I never got into the sports games). The "fantasy" of being able to fly, or have "Special Powers" is a childhood dream. Thus realized through the medium that is Video Games. So to refer to games, more specifically, the upcoming Home project, as psychosis, is purely argumenative and negatively opinionated. To say that you'll be on your "deathbed" looking back on your life and remembering the Home experience as a waste of your life, a "hollow pastiche of an existence", is profoundly naive.

tch, if I wanted to contribute to society, I'd volunteer or some crap like that. who cares how a cpu sees stuff like that. all that maters is how people see it. work on your arguments, cause they're lame.
