       | That needs time (mostly sleep).

       | Compare playing Counter Strike with having a game of cricket.
       | 
       | Cricket takes a while to organise and set up. You have to contact
       | your pals, physically travel to the field and set up the wickets.
       | Then expect to commit several hours to the game.
       | 
       | Meanwhile, Counter Strike takes no effort. You move your arm to
       | the mouse and click. A game is like 5 minutes of commitment.
       | 
       | The trouble is, before you know it you've spent 5 hours on
       | Counter Strike. You could have easily played cricket in that
       | time, caught up with your pals and exercised your body to boot.
