| | The Daedalus Project: MMORPG Hours vs. TV Hours |
 | | To me, gaming has always been preferable to television because as the previous posters said, games are a mentally engaging and interactive experience whereas television is a passive experience. |
 | | In my own case, the increase in quality television shows, like Lost, Desperate Housewives, Nip/Tuck, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Shield, etc., plus the strengthening of existing shows like SVU, 24, Alias and The Simpsons, place me square in front the TV several nights a week, and the other nights are spent out. |
 | | Of course, nearly every show I mentioned has something in it that has me thinking or learning, whether about cooking and science, my ethics, or the mystery of the storylines, when I watch. |
