GAMiNG GONE WiLD!

I myself find it hard to believe that someone could waster their whole day away playing video games. Doesn't it get BORING? Having to do the same thing over again if you die in the game, or continuing on to the next level that is very similar to the last one. Hardcore gamers would get offended with me saying this but going outside, you know nature NOT in a video, is more fun than you think it may be. When a game is in front of me on, I will play it and occasionally I'll play a couple of games in a row but not everyday. I can't lie, if I had Guitar Hero 1, 2, or 3 or a Wii Fit even Dance Dance Revolution, I would play those EVERYDAY because it requires me to move my body not just my fingers. Those are the kinds of games I could play for long periods of time without getting bored and slowly becoming a couch potato!

PARENTS, I know you sometimes want your alone time because your tired of having to deal with your kids but HOURS on a PS3 won't do any good for you or your child. You have to worry about your electricity bill while your kid is packing on the pounds. I can understand if you get your kid 10 games or so to keep them entertained while their playing but not 50 games for one console is way too much. Thats just asking your child to get obsessed with those games. Do you REALLY want that to happen?

I find now more than ever that alot of students that go to Ward playing on their PSP's or on their iPod Touch's (Tap Tap Revenge ....awesome game) instead of doing work. That's cutting into your unit time making you more likely to get thoses academic alert letters. Yes, I get caught up in playing Solitare instead of typing out that english assignment thats due next period but the gaming has to have a limit! What is it? When you eyes start to burn from looking at a screen for too long? When your still on unit 5's in March? When you start having dreams that your Master Chief (Halo for those who didnt get that)? Or is it when you relate everything to a game that you just play? I don't know. I think you should know when to stop the gaming, if not sorry to say but ...your addicted.
