With a pile of work on the horizon, and a rare opportunity to use my free time to do little of value, I've been powering through the Shenmue games on the old Dreamcast (currently on 2, which is the more interesting, albeit somehow less endearing, one). Those are weird games. When I play them, I feel like I should be bored by everything about them, but I find them curiously fun and intriguing. Especially when the lead character gets part-time jobs. Thing is, they're both about 4 discs long, so I do sometimes look at the boxes and think "why the fuck am I doing this instead of more work?" I justify it by calling it leisure time.
