Agree about the common area - I don't like those at all. Distracting, but also with reduced privacy. And I do need some privacy to focus and get in the right mood for maximum productivity. My current setup is pretty good - while we occupy three roosm that are connected, they are still separated enough to ensure everyone gets peace and quiet. One major change is that now I have my own door, so people can walk in directly, whereas they had to pass through the other room before the renovations (my former room's door used to be blocked). And ltos of people walk in without even knocking... which isn't very polite.

I can enjoy movies, though they often give me cravings for games that are similar to them. So in a way I want to experience the same thing but with more interactivity, like you do.

Games had to pass through a phase where things were made 3D just for the sake of 3D - it was supposed to impress the players and demonstrate just how all-mighty those new 3D-accelerated video cards are. Nowadays there are also cases of features being added for no other reason but to demonstrate that they are possible. But not quite necessary.

Well, waiting is one part of it, but it also takes some effort. Getting my own place to live meant getting heavily involved with all the renovations, regardless of how much I dislike physical exercise... but since this led to a clearly define future reward, it felt justified. There was a lot of heavy lifting, doing stuff in the cold, long hours of monotonous work, aching muscles and so on. It was worth it, though. So I see it as a necessary rite of passage.
