Generate a random Google map position and try to find the nearest airport. Currently on New Zealand, as Hong Kong's elevated highways was too annoying to traverse.
Or just get lost in some mountains. Many nice views actually.
Lol. Funny if you end up in that one streetviewable coral reef.

Social gaming, that was the term. It's in decline. Turns out people generally just play games on their cellphone out of boredom on like the bus, not actually at home for entertainment.

Well ... yeah.
You know it's good when the streetsign says Whatawhata though. Turns out it wasn't so far after all.

Those first words sound pretty horrible. Not that gaming can't be something social (i.e. multiplayer), but when I hear social gaming, I think things like Facebook games and mobile games. The latter can be good for boredom as you mentioned, but I'm skeptical to the claim of (many) people buying and playing large games on their phone. There has to be a consumer base, I don't think it even exists. For smaller games, sure. But who wants things like Angry Birds to replace major games? Fuck that.
Of course, I think a lot the problems with sales can be related to
a) The PS2
b) People buying Wii and never playing it.
Also, I say let it die.

Yeah that's what social gaming means.
Also I think you mis-interpreted my sentence. I said those social games were in decline because people only play them on the bus, I wasn't talking about any other kind of games.

I've determined that I'm going to be a Wynaut fan. I think it's pretty self explanatory...

But the article is talking positive things about social gaming but negative on consoles in general for constantly pressing the B button.

Oh! Oh! I wanna play!
I think we need to talk about how amazing Jersey Shore is. Or how the Room has a really well written plot and amazing characters.

Maybe I wasn't clear, but I was supposed to agree with you. Well, at least that people only play those mostly out of boredom. They are separate niches. Bigger games on phones exists, but I doubt the market for them is going to grow very much.

That's what I told you, the article is outdated.
