Ok watch this. Then come back. Don’t worry I will wait…
Alright, Now. Where to start. This just goes to show you how low the media has come to make a story. I agree that too much gaming can be a problem. But that can be said of anything else in this world. Too much cake, too much tv, too much anything. I don’t know how you feel but I dont feel like a cocain addict. Do I look like one? I think that I have hopes and dreams, and actively seek them out. I interact with people on a regular basis. Almost too much at times. But I feel that this is just a dirty ploy to gain ratings and attack a nervous audience. Thats right, the soccer moms. Think about this: what if soccer mom’s become so afraid to purchase games for their children? What if the next generation don’t know the joys of climbing the tower to rescue the princess? Collecting rings throughout world to defeat the badguy? Or even the new craze, dancing those collective pounds off to hypnotic and “Rave-like” beats? If all this comes to pass, there will be no next generation of gamers. There will be nobirthright to pass down. Are we the last ones? The last Moto-Racers? The last Ninjas? The Last Starfighters?
I say NO! This is my world, my life to live. Come on people, stand up to the media, the bosses of America and the man! Take back our virtual-manhood. Take back our opinions. The next generation is ours to create, ours to mold. So when you are standing in the store holding DVD’s for your child to watch, put down the Barney and pick up the bros. And remember that you aren’t doing this for yourself, you’re doing it for all man-kind.
I am a Defender-ship.I am fiercely protective of my friends and loved ones, and unforgiving of any who would hurt them. Speed and foresight are my strengths, at the cost of a little clumsiness. I’m most comfortable with a few friends, but sometimes particularly enjoy spending time in larger groups. What Video Game Character Are You? |
In case anyone wonders why I don’t really comment on this subject, let’s just say it’s to save my marraige. 😉
Awww cmon Lacey dont hold back tell us what you really think!
OK, so to this media story I ask, “where are the parents in this whole thing?” I am tired of the media raising today’s children and the next generation that is supposed to keep this world going. For crying out loud, I LOVE video games, and well pretty much all gaming, and my daughter will know what it is to create a RPG character, click a dial on a Mech, and kick the crap out of the computer, but I’m not going to let her get the way these kids are getting. Parents need to stand up and learn how to pull the plug. A drug? I don’t think so. Irrisponsible parenting, I do. Oh, and Brandon, you dont look like a coke addict but you used to act like one sometimes. = P~
Great post I totally agree
oh and im a GAUNTLET WARRIOR !!!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!!!! ZESTY !!!!!!!!!
Power to the People!
Wow, how lame to think that gaming can be compared to a drug! I mean, you don’t get the munchies or anything! 😛
But yeah, how desperate are they gonna get for ‘news’…
