Hey, get enough people like Funk and the whole "Grown men shouldn't play video games" stigma will go away.

I dont play as many games as I used to, partially for money reasons. That'll be changing soon though.

Oddly enough, I prefer handheld games over console games. if there's an accurate handheld port of a game, I'll play that before the console version.

I feel that way too. I've stopped playing video games twice now, and every time, life seems to get worse while I'm doing it.

When I was a WoW addict, video games made me more irresponsible and lazy and were bad. BUT I GOT MY TIER 1 SET LOL

When I'm hooked on a good RPG, or play games socially with friends, video games are good and healthy and provide the same motivation as they did when I was a kid (get all your chores done -> play games, get all your homework done -> play games).

...Sometimes. Other times I just use them as an excuse to procrastinate.

When I don't have school, most games are actually less fun to me unless they are social...

They did a study in Japan. Kids who play video games on average do better in school than those who don't.

Maybe I should show my mom this. That'd get her to stop btc'en about me playing video games. Hopefully. :P

Video games stimulate the mind and the senses. It's too bad people like Jack Thompson doesn't play more of them to curb his mental retardation.

No need to put down my hero Funk.

That's why a good video game is like Brechtian theatre. It teaches you about reality while reminding you that it is NOT reality.

If I could, I would put him down with a brick in a sock.

Re: Video games fill a void in my life...

Well, my life sucks so video games are one of the only things that make it better.

"I don't want to LIVE any more!... wait is that Devil Summoner? Yay! A reason to live!"

Yes, I know, I'm pitiful.

They have kids in Japan?

I'm pretty sure that Japan isn't as gaming-centric as some people think.

I'm pretty sure that your mom isn't as gaming-centric as some people think.
