Ahh... I never thought I'd see a rant like this. I simply will tell the truth, throughout all my life, I have had argues with my parents about video-gaming FOR EVER, and yet, I haven't ever shown any simptomns of becoming stupid, lazy (err..) blind or an adolecent with a retarded mind.
Instead, why not calling TODAY's video-gaming, learning as well? I mean, here, I think 34% (I think lower) aproximately people don't know english, when I play RPG games, there are MASSIVE dialogues scenes, and I NEVER buy spanish games (for first, because I think the spanish accent sucks); and guess what? The little english I used to understand basic things now turned out to writing skills thanks to them.
Books and Games... come on... what differece they are? Both have unreal stories, both make the reader/player dive and EVEN take part in the story, the only thing with the games, is that YOU decide what to do and show how you would react to a problematic if you were that person in that story.
Not talking about MK or Street Fighter of course; though I don't know why, maybe society finds that the whole gaming issue drives children out of their minds, I personally find that wrong, maybe I'm attracted to games of pure senseless violence like House of the Dead or games of pure imagination like Chrono Cross, but for first, guns are used in real life, and not only to protect if we go to the fact. And for the imagination, what about when you read Harry Potter? Would that REALLY stimulate your mind? Meh...
I think that society is plain wrong when judging, and yet again, they are a bunch of hipocrites.
