Even if you don't like the game, you can resell them and take a little bit of a hit, or trade them. If you see a shitty movie, well, you're SOL.
I never really played video games much growing up, and don't play much nowadays. However, I will play games I grew up with, such as Final Fantasy or Resident Evil. I used to play only RPGs because they'd always last 40+hrs and I generally liked the story lines and the fact that they aren't all too complicated in terms of button pressing, which I am horrible at.
For instance, the last game I played was Resident Evil 5. I didn't like it for the story, but it provided a solid way to spend my down time. I got 110hrs on it right now (over 4-5mos).
I assume you still go out and have fun with your friends, go outside, do other things to entertain yourself, etc, etc, etc.
So technically, aren't those 110 hours eating into your productive time when you could have done something more beneficial? Know what I mean?
