What is another way to look at video games?

Video games have many points of view from everyone around the world. Some people think they are a waste of time and money, and some people think they are fun and an escape of reality. I think everyone has their own opinion about it, and thats fine, but i happen to be one of those people that enjoys video games at the fullest. In my last post I was talking about the responsibility of college students with video games, well thats where my point is. If you aren't responsible enough to get your work done from school then you shouldn't be playing them. Video games are meant for free time when your done with everything and you just want to chill play with your friends. Parents always say "why are you ALWAYS on those video games" and "get off those games before you get grounded" and they just don't understand how fun these amazing games really are. Parents are an amazing example of anti-GAMERS they always want you to get off right when you're about to beat a level or get a new weapon or something. I think its because parents are worried that you will get addicted and you won't be able to do what you want in life. Mostly because, if you do get addicted, you will probably become some kind of low self esteem person that always dresses in black. But back to parents, they just want us to explore what they didn't get to do when they were our age. Don't get me wrong, I love video games, but when it comes to family and school I pay attention and concentrate on whats important.

Video game addiction has penalties.

I found a cool website that shows why its important not to get hooked on these video games. The website talks about how college students are getting hooked on video games and are losing concentration on their work. College students are responsible enough to limit themselves from video games, in my opinion. The site also talks about how some kid the age of 21 killed himself, just because of a game called "EverQuest" they found him dead in front of his computer screen one day. That is really sad and that's an example of taking gaming way to far. Gaming is for fun and only should be done for limited amounts of time. School is should be your top priority right now instead of games. This is just a heads up to any of you out there, and its me saying DONT GET SERIOUS ABOUT GAMING.

Intro to the gaming community

As part of Team3 I am excited to be blogging this year on the topic of co-existence. Millions of people around the world are part of this gaming community. There are many game consoles that people use all the time 24/7 people come together to out shoot, think, and score on each other in many different game varieties. Why do people waste their time doing this? Why do people do this 24/7? Its the same reason why you text all the time, or you get on myspace all day everyday. It's FUN!! It brings you out of reality and connects you with your friends and all types of people all over the world! And there are all types of games to fit your style. If you like football, Madden 09 is the game for you. If you like UFC, UFC 2009 Undisputed is the game for you! Or if you like the puzzle thinking games, I don't really know exactly know the names of many but you can search games like that online.
