Online gaming

I think I figured out part of my frustration with online gaming as a whole: I love the concept, it usually works great, and you can lose yourself in an alternate universe for hours… and yet, it often just doesn’t work for me. Either the game is broken in some way, or lags too much; either my friends and I can never get online at the same time, leading to unfulfilled promises; or the game grows stale too quickly and others lose interest while I still want to keep going.

I wish I could enjoy multiplayer game so much more. The potential is there, but the problems or availability of the players quickly add up to something that makes it unfun.
