Why?
Because they ruin our lives, that's why!
Don't you get it, they become addicive...
The screen messes up your eye's...
You get massive headaches...
You forget your social life...
Your work goes behind...
It eats your money...
One day we'll all grow out of them...
So what am I going to do about it?
Sod - all I suppose.
I'll guess I'll be stuck as a computer games addict all my life...
I'll probably even end up making games for a living...
BUT I WON'T LET MY CHILDREN NEAR ONE OF THESE DAMNED THINGS!
That's if I ever manage to get a wife...

My social life kinda exists because of games! Every friday and saturday a group of 6 of us huddle around a big screen TV, and hook up the N64 (or, if we ever get bored, a Playstation). As there is 6 of us, the loser has to give up his/her pad to onr of those not playing.
As tony the tiger said, "Don't run with scissors.

The most social experience I've ever had with mates was on the last day of school a coup[le of years back. N64- large TV- 4 controllers... teams of 4 per controller with 50 onlookers... first to 100 kills wins!
Pure genius.
And don't forget samba de amigo... i may get it for having a laugh with all my friends, and not just the guys... but who knows!
