Some people, especially young kids or teens that I'll meet when they venture out, play games too often. It's just ridiculous, they never get out, they have little to no friends, their bodies are thin and pale. They don't realize that there's a real world out there for them, school and work and girls and hobbies and ANYTHING.
Sure videogames are fun. But when I look back on my life in 50 years, I don't want to remember slaying dragons or having an amazing k/d. I want to remember my spouse, my friends, my siblings, my parents, my family, my accomplishments, the differences I've made. I want something tangible.
I tend to view videogames as a relaxing thing, a hobby of sorts; a way to kick back. Something I certainly enjoy but would be horrified to see take over my life. It's not a lifestyle. And I most certainly disagree that it's in any way similar to reading a book, but that's really something far too big to get into in this post.
Am I suggesting what I just railed against is what you said? No, of course not. But I am just throwing my opinion out there. I'm not knocking games, I'm just trying to keep them in perspective.
