To answer the first question: Facebook app games, Gardens of Time (my mom made me start, she loves hidden object games), CityVille (my cousins got me into it), CastleVille (my friend Jackie), MapleStory (read about it in a mag), KotC (it had the words Final Fantasy in it... actually, I don't really play this anymore)

To answer the second question: I'd rather die than oblige such a decree, at least, not if those were hours in succession.

And that third question: I can't comp to there being any game that isn't a waste of time. Anything I want to learn about a game world, I can look up on the internet whether for story or pics, so I don't really need to play to be inspired. There's no glory for beating video games. The only real difference between a game and a book is that when reading a book, you never get angry that you can't beat a monster or complete a quest or mini-game or obtain a rare/hidden item. Books are only a slightly lesser waste of time and energy than playing video games. Both have the capacity to teach something, both have the capacity to fill your head with junk, both are merely something you do when you have nothing to contribute physically to the world around you.

Our bodies only require three elements: Nourishment (food and water), Activity, and Rest. Our minds require the same three elements but the nourishment is provided by education and community while the activity is the solving of equations and other puzzles/mysteries.
When reading a book, your mind with struggle will puzzles and mysteries provided by context but you won't get mad because you know the answers will be provided by the plot. When playing a game (video or otherwise), certain aspect provide no solutions... it's completely up to you to get it right and that gets frustrating especially for those of us who are arrogant (like me when it comes to a game.)

Anyway, yeah, still pointless...
