Week 10's lecture was about gaming. How exciting. I hate games with a passion. They bore me and I seriously do not have any inclination to play them. From a personal view I think they are a complete waste of time and a waste of important brain cells which could be doing way more important things, like possible making friends or doings something to benefit the real world, not a computerised relatity.

Josh was talking about how there are different mediums and generes of games. I have herd from my gaming nerd brother about first person shooter and other genres of games that he plays, for example counter strike and world of war craft (compeletly pointless if you ask me). Console games are not as bad, although they are highly addicitve. Console games carry less of a social stigma because games like gutiar hero are actually semi-cool.

No matter what it comes to a point where gaming is taken overboard and a prime example of this is my brother. He is year 12 and spends every waking hour (other than the time he is at school) on the computer playing online games. He has no job and spends no joke possible about 30 hours over the weekend on the games. He sits in his bedroom on the computer all day everyday and only comes out for necessity then (I am not joking) runs back to the computer. I has come to the point where I think his interaction with real people is affected. He doesn't think about anything else except for the games he plays and does not hang out with his friends other then when he sees them at school. It's really sad because he constantly upgrades his computer and has made our parents fork out $300+ for a wireless gaming internet modem and also 80 bucks a month for faster internet connection so it doesn't "lag" his computer.

Personally I think games have ruined the lives and future prospects of many people.
SAY NO TO GAMING.
