2.  World of Warcraft -You sit in the same spot for hours trying to do better but still feel like everyone else is beating you.  A majority of the people who excel are complete losers. There is no reward at the end of a game.

3. Guitar Hero – Practicing still gives you no usable life skills, and wastes many hours of your weekends. Some of your friends take it a little too seriously, and high five upon receiving good marks.

4. Fallout 3 – For some arbitrary reason, you are forced to leave home never to return in your late teens in order to undergo a horrific ordeal.  Very few people are willing to help you unless you pay them money.

5. Madden 1992: Boredom sets in immediately, as there is nothing visually or mentally stimulating.  You feel as if you are being tested on abilities that might have mattered over 15 years ago. You also recognize few of the words and expressions used.
