I wouldnt know. The only games my dad does are Wii games like Monopoly and Battleship. He thinks that me doing games on the Xbox are a waste of time and that I could be doing better in school if I wasnt on them......I have passed High school with a 3.6 GPA (A and B average), I have a job, a girlfriend, am currently going to college (where I am passing all my classes), and am joining the volunteer fire department soon. WHAT THE HELL MORE DOES HE WANT FROM ME!!? The only games he ever really played where in the arcade and on the Atari. I remember one time he had to get leg surgury and we brought down the Xbox for him, and he tried to play Call of Duty.....he had to move, stop, aim, shoot, then move. He couldnt do it all at the same time.
My mom on the other hand is ok with me doing games as long as I get the important stuff done. She knows that I think better with them and that I can actually learn better from them (might have something to do with my Aspegers). For instance, I SUCK at math. I can only really do the basics, and when I had to take college algebra, I struggled. You'd think this would mean I cant do money. You would be wrong. I am really good at budgeting and accounting. I can fly circles around basic money problems and even some harder ones. I understand all the banking and loan terms and how to get the best ones. I know how the stock market runs and what to look out for when things can go bad, and how to make money off of it. I even had 102% in my economics class at one point. Why?
Thats Why.
