I am afraid I have to much to say!! I don't care if your kids don't like sports, make them do something that involves physical activity...It is amazing to see the changes in weights of kids over summer. Most kids gain a whole bunch of weight, and its sad to see that.

i have wayyyyy to much to say. exactly. if your kids dont like sports. get them involved in music. even something different. but here is an example of one of the problems... i go over to a girls house. go into family room and her mom is playing guitar hero. wouldnt look away from tv!!! haha

I commend the kiddo for having the guts to take an adventure. Will he fail? Most likely. The game will be old news in a little while. Some of life's best lessons are often the hardest learned. Sometimes ya gotta take your own road...no matter how silly it is

Bravo, Nate! Well said.

And the kids are obese and lazy because their parents feed them junk, let them watch TV 24/7, and never even suggest physical activities. It's not necessarily games. Like I said, most hard core gamers often love activities as well as their games. It keeps the mind sharp and the hand quick. ...it's the 'ho-hum I'm just gonna play these games cause it keeps me from doing chores' kids that turn into veggies.

Sorry, ever since I partnered up with a game design prospect I've been defending games. It's not the games, it's the people who play them.

Don't blame the kid, blame the parents!

lol i seen this also, and to top it all off i have a bud who lives in NYC that does just that. he plays video games and gets paid for it, kinda like grandmas boy (the movie) he actually sites in a station all day playing new games that come out on the market to see if there are any bugs, glitches, and errors in the games. and makes i dont think 80k but is doing good for himself, drives a nice car (BMW) and owns his house (paying mortgage) but he went to school for it video game design i think and landed a great job. ha but he is 27 and has no girlfriend lol so its a win lose situation...i dont think girls find video gamers too sexy ..ladies correct me if im wrong...

There are multitudes of dumb crap people do for “entertainment” that I find appalling and have no interest in, so I respond with the attention it is due; which is to say, none at all. Why waste precious moments of my life, not to mention adopting needless aggravation and stress, by even thinking about it?

In the case of this specific topic, they are not hurting anybody and they are not breaking the law. There are many, many more terrible things they could be doing with their time.

And if FPS (First Person Shooters) is not your thing, than try something like Civilization, or the upcoming Spore. I am willing to bet there is at least video game genera that will appeal to you!
