My friend, you need some help.  It's obvious that you cannot draw the line
between games and reality.  Just because I like action/shooting/violent
games means I'm a person who shoots rather than talks to my friends, right?
An action game is not meant to be played for a long period of time, because
it will eventually get monotonous.  I would not imagine playing Doom for
more than 3 hours straight.  I play it, say, an hour at the most.  An hour
well spent, I might add, immersed in fictional imagination and good fun. 
But I never get into the game because it is mindless, yet fun.  An RPG, on
the other hand, requires that a person gets into the game, and without doubt
requires longer hours.  Now let me ask you: which is better, getting into an
RPG or getting into a book?  I certainly hope it's the latter.  Doom is
simply a time of leisure and relaxation for me (he, how our minds are
different!  A relaxation for me, blood-spattering violence for
you).  It has no effect whatsoever on my life.  Now I'm not saying
that an RPG alters your life or something, but that may very well be true in
your case, at least.  I've seen people whose RPG's have become part of their
life, honestly!  Let me put it in simpler terms: Doom is to quick, satisfying
fun as RPGs are to slow hours immersed in fantasy in front of a CRT.
BTW, if you would summarized my original post, you would get the following:
a. I hate RPGs (a personal opinion I really don't feel the need to discuss)
b. I like action games (")
c. Doom is an action game, and should not be confused with Ultima Underworld
or other RPGs.
Oh, and thanks for your last comment...Really made my day...New on the
Internet, and it's nice to know that people here are so mature,
understanding, and unselfish, especially after I post one of my first
messages.  I guess my posts are really not necessary, but yours are
certainly necessary.  And what intelligence, I might add, to post an
anti-Doom/pro-RPG post in alt.games.DOOM, where my opinion is presumably the
opinion of 90% of people here.  Later....
