After reading an article on shoutwire.com titled The Stigma of Gaming I had to write my thoughts down, and have to deeply agree with the article that videogames are still shunned and frowned upon by many, even though it is supposedly “socially accepted” it still gets the cold shoulder, and I actually have a few friends that think gaming is a waste of time and that it’s a kiddy thing, but I just laugh and shrug it off because I know it’s neither of those, it takes some fairly good hand and eye coordination, and some games really require you to use your brain to make progress or to win, now can you say the same thing for all of the half baked reality shows, and bad movies lately? I didn’t think so, now I’m not saying videogames are outright better, see if I did that then I’d be stooping to the level they think gaming is…Kiddy, and there are occasionaly some good shows and movies to watch, but what I am saying is that Videogames have become a Late Night Show and Movies for some people lately, and I’m one of those people! I rarely if ever watch live tv or movies anymore, I either wait until my favorite shows or movies are recorded on my TiVo or come out on dvd now, so I can watch them when I’m extremely bored which is rarely anymore, because gaming can be really entertaining and interactive, it’s not just sitting alone in front of a tv or computer screen playing yourself against the computer anymore, you have all of the online aspects, the communication between people all around the globe, whether it’s sending a text message to someone, talking to them through voice chat, or sending a group of people on your friend list an invite to play the same game together, it’s socially interactive and entertaining, and in my humble opinion beats the hell out of clicking a remote and vegging out, anyways these are just my thoughts and opinions I hope you either liked them or completely hated them, leave some comments and let me know!
