Salon.com People | Ray Bradbury is on fire!
"I never cared for pinball games when I was 18 or 19. Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do. Real brains don't do that. On occasion? Sure. As relaxation? Great. But not full time and a lot of people are doing that. And while they're doing that, I'll go ahead and write another novel.
--Ray Bradbury, in his Salon interview.
You know what? I agree with him. I love video games; play 'em all the time. But they're really for when you're burned out, and you just want to play, or for a little recreation. A lot of online games are built on the assumption that they can get a customer to pay to play for hours and hours every day. They're going to find it doesn't fly that way.
