Playing Games? Really?

Often when people hear that I went into a game development school, or work in a game company, they thinkt it's so fun because I play game all day long.

Let me tell you something. I hardly play game at all these days. And what I meant by "these days" is since the day I started developing games. I started playing FFX-2 since the beginning of last year (2004) and have not finished until now. And that's the only game I play during that time (I don't really like to play multiple games concurrently).

Developing and playing game are just two completely different things. I don't know where people get this idea of treating them the same. If you play games too much, you probably won't end up being a developer of ones. It's eating too much of your time.

But to play a little is good. Is very good. Is a must! =D

After all, you are a game developer, right?

Anyway, another small fun thing is that I could read articles about games on the Internet during work and feel like doing research. In which other job you can call game browsing as research? hehe.. ;)
