I'm fairly good at videogames... I've been playing since I was little and my mom bought me a NEs (****ing s) with the original Mario. I've had years of practice and my fingers are so much more dexterous than any other part of my body.

I'm alright I was just downplaying my greatness. It depends on games. I'm good at some, then terrible at others. There are only a few that I am average at. With me it's all or nothing. I've been playing Dead or Alive and I'm pretty good at that, and I'm good at Project Gotham Racing 3.

my opinion....video games are a total waste of time. my friends little brother is in 6th grade and about 60 pounds overweight. why?? because he plays video games non stop. utterly pointless....and a waste of time. he's got a perfectly nice guitar that he never plays. instead...he spends hours playing doom 3.

ughhh...

anyways...when im not feeling so annoyed....i do enjoy (no..im no nerd) counter strike. i only play it at my friends house though, seeing as i dont really have my own internet at home. but...its always fun. sometimes ill play a little madden with my friends..but i usually quit after about 5 minutes because i get so bored.

I got an Xbox randomly for Christmas, I just didn't know what to have so I asked for that. I got Xbox Live for it aswell which was a bonus. Now I'm not a dork, but i swear to you xbox Live is really fun. It sounds like a really dorky thing to enjoy, which it probably is, but I really enjoy it. I haven't played it now for like 2 months, but when my subscription runs out I'll probably get it upgraded. I never thought I'd enjoy it that much, just thought I'd try it out. But now I have tried it out you can see what all the fuss is over. A few of my friends have it aswell which always helps. It's only there for when I'm bored-and as soon as I'm mega bored I'll just have a quick go. Which helps over those sleepy Sundays with nothing better to do.

As soon as he notices girls & that playing a guitar impresses them the 60 pounds will come off & the guitar will start getting used.And the games will go in the bin

Or at least I did ....eventually

Oh yeah and PTS, it wasn't videogames that made that kid overweight-it was EATING. And doing no exercise. Sure, videogames probably helped towards that, but you could say the same about computers. Computers make more people fat than videogames.

i hope so for the sake of his health. hes a good kid...but..ya know..

and yes hobo, i realize that. but if you saw how much he just sits around, plays video games and vegitates, you would understand what im talking about.

If someone complains about being fat, tell them to stop eating. I know a metabolism and excercise and healthy bull**** all works, but if you want to not be fat - don't eat.

thats beside the point. the point i was making was that video games hugely contribute to obesity in america. not eating has nothing to do with that.

Not eating = no obesity.
