I used to be a Firefox fan until a few years ago when one day it was acting up for me, so I decided to try out Chrome. I found myself refusing to use Firefox and IE unless it was an emergency simply because of the speed of Chrome, and how everything worked. IE and Firefox are just too clunky, and don't offer the functionality that Chrome has, such as the different plugins I use, and also the overall feel of it.

I'm currently playing Black Ops and also Minecraft. I would have listed GTA V, but since my disk is acting up for some odd reason, didn't seem right to list it. In Minecraft I've been working on building various towns to my liking and just being overall creative. Like yesterday, I build an Orthodox Church in my map, and I'm working on expanding the government areas. As far as Black Ops, just playing Wager matches really does it for that.

I'd have to say my favorite is Mario. I grew up as a kid playing Mario games on my Nintendo 64, and it never grew old. You could find me playing Paper Mario for hours and it still remains as one of my favorite games to this day. I'm sure we all feel though for Luigi since he rarely gets the spotlight in most games as Mario is busy soaking all the attention up.

I see where Panos and the discussion is coming from, but I think it also comes down to the person. They should know when it's time to stop and that if it's affecting them, they shouldn't play it. I hate when I hear people blame it on the game that caused the person to do it, when in reality the person decided to act from it. The game is a fake world that is nothing more than to pass time and to have fun in certain cases, and they chose to take it a step farther by acting like that in real life.

So recently I've seen a petition being passed around to lower the drinking age to 18. The argument is that since you can buy ciggaretes at 18, and other various things as an adult, why can't you drink at 18? Additionally, some say that for those who drink at 18 anyway are afraid of getting help when suffering from alcohol poisoning and the like due to the consequences that could follow.

What do you think about this petition, and should the age be lowered?

Well hey everyone, I'm Giorgios and I'm new to the forum. Thanks for having me, and I'll tell you guys a bit about me. I'm a Greek teenager from Virginia who works in retail and attends community college. I was invited here by a friends, so hopefully I'll find somewhere to settle in and enjoy the discussion.

I'll see you guys around.
