It’s more that the habits I have today are the habits I’ll keep in the future, and I know I’ll need to justify everything I do, especially if I don’t want her to do it - ie, why does daddy want her to eat meat when mommy (a vegetarian) doesn’t. Same with Magic and other games - how can I justify to her that I’m spending time with things that aren’t uplifting to a young mind when I do it myself.

I think I see where you’re coming from. I often try to imagine myself of how I would act when a child catches me in the less glorifying moments involving my hobbies (anime and games alike). Normally though I would hide anything inappropriate the second a child would enter my room (or better yet, lock said room entirely).

In other cases involving less provocative material but still not something a child would understand, I simply just try to make it look trivial. For example, like you, I also play trading card games (I prefer Yu-Gi-Oh! though cuz the system appeals to me more :o). If a child were to see me playing with a friend and asks me what we’re doing, I would just simply say we’re goofing around with some cards and that’s it.
 
I wouldn’t think so but I was addicted to Guild wars when I was 14. Then second life when I was 16, but I stop playing second life because it was all about sin. Don’t enter that game unless you want a version of the real world without morals at all.

I see games like wow like a cartoon. Nothing gain nothing lost. Second Life is another story, I’m not kidding at all. Imagine Detroit, Las Vegas, Los Angeles combine without pain or regret with attractive young people partying then that’s Second Life. The main portion, but it’s so huge it’s not definable. Sin City would define that game. Just like real world.
 
What outta be a sin is driving through a neighborhood at 1 in the morning with a suped-up muffler in excess of the speed limit, waking up my 3-week-old who took more than an hour to get to sleep finally …

Seriously, I’m going to start shooting out windows and popping tires. This is absurd.
