Well I always say this. How hard is it to plop on the couch and watch "T.V". It's just different no more useless.

Also "working" 16 hours a day for some people is just as masterbatory. Some people just "love" to not even be home.

and i go out with my friends and that so i think its ok for me to play games as long as i have a social life in between.

 

sounds perfectly fine to me......but when you have a wife partner whatever kids....family you should not spend your life gaming and ignoring everything and everybody else. Gaming should not come first, it should be a HOBBY not your life.......

I do agree though some ppl sit themselves infront of the tv and veg out all night , so really that isn't any different.

As for kids they need to have a limit on this stuff......esp in the summer i want them outside playing with their friends......sports and whatever.....

 

it's harder than you think i mean i only recently started to get active last yea all i wanted was to go out but i had not many firneds so i turned to vids and it;s very very depresing i can tell ya

 

Perhaps. It all depends on how video games are used. I've always been supportive of educational video games and simulations. But the demand for such games is not as profitable as the next generic shooting game.

 

Excellent point. I've learned a few things playing "Civilization".

 

well belive it or not it teaches gramar and spelling and yet i pay no atention to that as you can see.

 

Well if I learned ANYTHING from First Person Shooter games it is reflexes.

 

if i have learned anything from battlefield 2142 and counter strike it is how to swear and how to apriciate and think war is cool witch i know is wrong btw

 

heh ya, with your index finger. Don't assume the real firefight skills are up to par.

 

yeah well try finding a game for an 11 yr old boy......its either too babyish or has nothing but violence (which don't bother me that much) or boobs flying out of everything with sexual themes and language.......

most games are made for 30 something geeks are the games that shitty
that most covers have some super unnatural.......massively boobed character on the front.

 

No, I do believe it can teach spelling and grammar. As a kid I loved the role-playing genre of video games, which meant reading many lines of dialog and narration. I would give credit to video games for encouraging my reading comprehension at a young age.

 

Oh come on you are b.sing those two for instance are quite fake.

 

i would spell alot better if my teachers had actuly helped me out when i said miss i can't read instead of saying oh it don't matter.

 

it was a joke man i game quite abit and games are good for a hobby and if anyone has psp and mgs portoble ops i would be intrested in a game.

 

:geek: oh the gaming talk begins i will be moving on soon......
