What's the deal with video games?
We all admittedly sit around playing video games for hours on end, to achieve what? Why do we play video games? For fun? Isn't there anything we can do that would help our lives in any way and that is fun? When you sit down to play your XBOX/PS2/GAMECUBE or whatever just think, what are you gaining apart from a few pounds and a numb backside? Like TV for example, we watch TV all the time it stops us from having a social life, it destroys us, and the irony is that we watch other people live their lives instead of doing it ourselves.
Also, what's the future of video games?
Our PC's get better and better being able to play the most advanced games with the best graphics and they get better all the time. So what happens when they look so real you could swaer it was TV. But the game world is different, when you shoot someone in their head and their head pops off you don't think "Damn, what have I done, their family will be devasted.. Im gonna get arrested..", we think "Haha, f00" When our grandchildren grow up they are gonna be used to beating the hell outta people on video games and not having to live with the consequences, we all say that video games wont change anything because we know it's fake, but we all know it would be fun to steal a car and go on a mad rampage down the street killing everything you see, or what little kid doesn't jump about the room kicking things after the've watched an episode of the Power Rangers?
But there is nothing we can do, with the thousands of millions of companies running things on our televisions and making games for us to play, there really isn't a good enough reason to not play the games and watch the TV. Everywhere you look you see the characters of the latest Reality TV show and the Contestants of the latest Big brother series.
In 10 or 20 years time see what you and your friends have accomplished, not much I expect be the world has become a race of TV zombies.
But if you are gonna waste your life watching TV, you might as well do it right with a 42" Plasma ;-)
