Myths and excuses people make up to stop you playing video games.

"You're becoming too anti-social"

My Mum said that to me.

My reply:

"Did it ever cross your mind that that was what I intended? Maybe if you people had something interesting to say, I might actually talk to you."

"You haven't made any friends since you got to college!"

Matter of fact, I've made more friends since I got to college than I had in high school. They just all happen to live in other states/countries.

Sure, I can't see all of them, but hell if I can't have wonderful conversations with them.

Gaming doesn't ruin social lives, i can still speak to people as normal. You have a fair point, i have alot of friends who live in other countries. x]

"You'll become incapable of talking or socializing with people"
"You'll never get a happy family life like this"(motive for me to keep playing)

I guess you weren't too happy, life is what you make it. you and you only.

It'll mess up your eye sight.

It's really sad, don't you have anything better to do?

This has been said by loads of girls I know who spend all day on facebook looking at their friend's photo albums and profiles or watching x factor!

"it'll give you heart problems!"

said by my aunt..

she has never even touched a computer, much less a console.

 

[duckfi8]

if you play computer games your eyballs will bleed out of their sockets and you will die.
what? i had a sick father

My father is awesome, he used to play unreal 2004 with me.

"its ruining the computer", I was playing world of warcraft on the only computer in the house and I am the only one who knows how a computer runs in my house

That's probably your parents downloaded faux virus protection software, like mine. I'm glad i have my own computer now.

It was actually my brother ,but yes I too am much happier with my own computer.

You keep playing I'll punch you in the nutsts; whether they meant it or not (so basically was this punch a myth or reality) was irrelevant I stopped playing soon after. I mean I finished the level but I played holding the controller in a rather shielded way7

Solution; found girl who plays games (yes they exist)

Also remember if you're not part of the solution you must be a precipitate

Umm lemme think:

They are a waste of time
You're loosing sleep cause Wow is demonic ( ive been playing for 3 and a half years >.< )
You're eyes will fuck up ( Ive 20/20 vision thanks )
You're becoming anti-social ( I never was social, now im just adding numbers )

This sounds a lot like my whole family except for by younger brother.

... and about two dozen other people I know...

Bad for your eyes, social life, etc.

(I currently have 20/15 vision and plenty of other gamer friends)

 

[Bob_F_It]

"It's a waste of time."

...say the people who oh-so-usefully spend their time watching reality shows and American Idol

I was about to say the exact same thing, except replacing "American Idol" with X-Factor.

 

[Cockney_Jesus]

In my opinion, if playing video games is sad then so is watching films!

They both (usually) have storylines etc. except one you control, the other, you don't!

My dad always says, "Oh look, he's going to heaven, now he's going to hell!"

 

[David_G]

You're going to have bad eyesight, although that is more about computers overall than video games, and also, it will make you aggressive and whatnot (while playing GTA).

"they will make you lazy and violent".

which is bullshit, i was lazy before i even got my first pc and i stopped being violent just around the same time.

 

[shotgunbob]

"its ruining the computer", I was playing world of warcraft on the only computer in the house and I am the only one who knows how a computer runs in my house

Same here if anything goes wrong with mine its automaticly the games that ruined my PC

 

[GoldenCondor]

Holding a controller will make you go blind and grow hair on your hands.

Wait, what?

OH! Wrong controller, my mistake.

 

[TheSeventhLoneWolf]

Your eyes will go square.

Bullshit, they'll just bleed!

haha, We'll see about that!

"people on the internet arent real people!"
