Video Games...

Yeah. It had to happen eventually. I had to blog about video games. I LOVE THEM. They've been with me all my life, I have so many wonderful memories involving video games. I cried when Aries died in Final Fantasy VII. I will forever associate every song I remember hearing GTA San Andreas with running over innocent civilians. And will never forget rocking Crash Team Racing on my PS1 as a kid.


Running Over Innocent Civilians!

Why do i feel sometimes like I have to defend my hobby? I don't watch much television anymore. At least my hobby is interactive and involves some skill instead of the amazing skill needed to absorb the most recent episode of CSI: Memphis or something. I don't idolize pretty people portraying the same old cliched character models except this time as vampires or police officers. Not going to lie video games took up a lot of my life as a child and I might have been better off playing less of them. But do i regret it? Hell no. And do I feel as though it's taking away from my life now? Hell no. I have never once made the decision to not hang out with a friend or girlfriend or go out with my family because I wanted to play video games. And I never will make that choice because in the end real life comes first. Time I spend playing video games would just be time I spend doing any other pointless task. If you don't like it go away, because I really don't see why you should care. It doesn't affect you. Now if you'll excuse me I feel like playing Black Ops :)
