[QUOTE="mmmagnetic, post: 16122, member: 558"] For a couple of years now my priorities have switched around and now I don't ask "is this worth my money?" but "is this worth my time?" (considering things like buying games, it's not that I'm rich or anything...) I'm really picky about how I spend my time, and when it comes to videogames, TPA (and PHOF) is one of the finest experiences I can have. Your buddy just has different priorities, and as you said, he prefers the fantasy stuff like Zen. You can definitely have wider disparities in taste than your choices in videogames and while I think TPA is a terrific way to spend my money and time, your friend isn't covinced. And really, people don't like being convinced. Either he tries TPA on his own or he doesn't. I once knew a guy who asked me why I even bother with all these old MAME or SNES games when I could play so many "obviously" much better modern games. I told him about nice 2D graphics, about quick and hard gameplay, about the arcade spirit, but he wasn't having any of it. I still think he's dense, but oh well. In the end, what's fun for you isn't necessarily fun for others, and if he thinks TPA isn't a good offer for him, just let it rest ;) [/QUOTE]
