 I can't say I've ever heard anyone say video games are a healthy activity, but I've also only ever seen
 1/7B of the human experience.

 I wonder if D&D hasn't shifted too far in the social direction, though! There's so much buzz around
 etiquette, culture, and standards in the D&D community, and it sometimes makes me wonder if we're
 not pushing out the antisocial geeks who were here first.


 Granted, I'm about as boring and normal as they come, so I'm definitely part of the problem.
