FRIEND: (recommending a videogame) ...plus the graphics are phenomenal.
ME: wow, cool! so will this fill the void within me
FRIEND: sorry, the void?
ME: yes, the hollowness at the core of my existence? do you think this will be the thing to bring meaning to my life, is what I'm wondering
FRIEND: well kinda
FRIEND: technically it will, but only until you finish it
FRIEND: after which the yawning hole at the center of your being will be replaced by one that mourns the game's absence with a scalpel's keenness
FRIEND: in a way, by playing this game you're killing the you that could have gone through life never knowing the inescapable grief accompanying the knowledge that your time with the game is forever behind you
ME: ...
FRIEND: oh but there IS mod support
FRIEND: so you could get another 20, 30 hours out of it, easy
ME:
