Flamming, you're only putting up with the worst case... Like 0.000000001% of people playing video games will turn out "kinda" evil, even less will consider these violent games a direct order to kill people... Psychologists just don't like video games and they tell people its bad, that's all BS.

That's because we are the new addaption...or you people don't eat a whole lot because you are playing video games all the time...or you throw up alot to get ready for cheer leading practice! Listen, I never said that video games make you fat, because you are exersizing your thumbs or fingers, I said when TELEVISION first came out, the fattness in the U.S. rose! Video games are a part of television, but not television.

If you never have anything else to do but video games, then you obvously have never picked up a book, opened it, and read the words, because the reason most American's are illiterate are because of stupid excusses like that!

Listen, I'm with everyone that voted sometimes, because video games are a nice way to show off ideas to others! We just take them a little to far, which is called obsetion! I have an idea for everyone here who said video games aren't a waste of our time, "go outside, during the day, and look around you. If you play so many video games that you think of everything in pixels, then YOU HAVE NO LIFE! AND THAT THING GLOWING IN THE SKY, IT'S CALLED THE SUN!" That was some random post I found on a video game review! I thought it was funny!

Why can't you just respect people that likes video games "more than the usual man"... All I could see in your post was "video games are always bad except when you're bored" and hidden "you have no life" messages...

It's not an obsession, it's a hobby. Go tell that to these hockey players out there. Go tell that to the government.

Dude, if this is a hobby, then so is drugs. I mean, they don't want to stop either, but they have to if they don't want to die at an earlier age.

Just wait untill your eyes melt inside your head from the television...

I really don't think a person's eyes can melt from watching too much TV.

I still don't have glasses, and as I told you, I've been watching TV / playing video games / going on the computer for quite a long time now...

You're always refering to the worst cases. Start searching about some real statistics ;P

video games ARE NOT a waste of time. They are if they interfere with your life
(or maybe they ARE your life?), but if they do then you are an idiot.

By the way:

HALO 2!!!!!!!

For starters I can't see someone comparing tv to computer games. Games don't have freaking commercials! Thank GOD! That would really suck if they did. Computer games are not a waste of time for me because once I finish school I will eventually make my own. Every game I play is an expeirence for me to improve on what other developers fail at.

I really only have a problem with people who play video games ALL THE TIME. You know, like I call them up to see if they want to hang out and they say "sure let me beat this level" then they call me back four hours later and say, "sorry, I was side-tracked" or people who are like, "hey let's go play Halo!" all the time. I like to shoot my friends in video games occasionally, but its better to go down to the park sometimes too, or something like that

I believe that Playing video games is a lot better than reading a book. Sure reading a book is better for your eyes, but when you read a book, the main character is doing all the, what you might call, action. But when you play video games, you are behind the controlls, controlling the main character. In a way, it's more creative

They're also different things... You can't die in a book, and the replayability (typo) doesn't interfere with a book...

Though drugs are much worst than Video games... They can kill (in some cases).

Mozart died cuz he was crazy

As most writters, painters or poets at that time...

most writers, painters and poets are crazy to this day. and maybe he was crazy, or maybe he was obsessed...think about it...what if you were to die the day your character died in a video game? hmm?
