Do you know what really winds me up, is the mainstream media and attitudes claiming that videogames are for weak, socially inept losers who have no lives and no chance at getting girlfriends.
It's funny how they never say that for films or TV shows though. Like how is "wasting" 2 hours of your life playing a game any different from wasting 2 hours of your life watching a film. It's all just escapist fantasy worlds at the end of the day.
I heard a quote once that stated, "Time wasted having fun is not time wasted at all" and I agree with this.
In fact, videogames would be better for you since your brain is more active when playing them as opposed to just sitting down and watching the screen. I've also made some friends in the past because of our mutual interests in videogames too. So all those ignorant boomers can go shove forks in plug sockets for all I care.
GAMERS RISE UP! WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!
