Sorry this is late guys, I kinda forgot about this. Too much soccer this weekend! Anywayyyyyy, the movie we watched in class actually made me really mad. I thought how could someone waste so much of their life sitting in front of a computer playing a game. There is so much in this world to do and experience. Take advantage of it! Experiencing what the world has to offer helps make you become a better person and make you who you are today. A video game will never be able to do that. That's what really made me mad in the first place. I try to understand where the people in the movie are coming from but it is really hard. Some of these people say they don't have an addiction but when it starts to interfer with your family and friends it becomes one. People start to lose a lot when they become addicted to something like this. There is no time for a job, no family time, and no interaction between you and what is outside the house.
I also don't believe this is anyway to meet the person you're going to be with the rest of your life. You may know each other but not until a certain point. A certain point you can only reach face to face. You need that interaction between two people to really know each other well. You can't do that over a video game. It amazes me how the men and women that do not game put up with their lover who games almost all day. Personally I could not do that and I know a lot of other people agree. The people in the movie may have found someone special but I feel like it's not the real thing because you haven't met face to face. I know some people will disagree but that is my opinion. It's lazy. Get up out of the house and meet people besides the people you play the game with.
One point I really did like in this movie was at the very end and I know a lot of other students could agree. When the one guy said about gaming is almost just like watching football all day Sunday. It's so true, there are so many people that do not move all day football Sunday because they don't want to miss anything. I wouldn't call it an addiction like gaming is though. He just made a really good point to think about.
