Video Games

I love video games. All for 'em.

I can see how they would be harmful, though. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so addicted. You can get addicted and avoid doing things you should be doing. There have also been cases in which video gamers became violent after playing a video game.

I can also see how they would be helpful. For example, on many occasions, I have been playing a completely un-educational video game and found an interesting fact that I didn't know. I can't give any examples at the moment, though.

The first video gaming console I've ever gotten was a PS2. I got it when I was like, 7. Guess what my first game was? Grand Theft Auto III. My mom thought it was a racing game. You know why she took it away? Because I could kill police. Not because of the blood, the gore, the robbing, the prostitutes. Because I could kill cops. I'm sure she didn't know about the rest though. She just always blamed it on that one aspect of the game.

The most annoying thing in the world to me though, are inappropriate video games. You will look at the cover of a game and think, "Hey, that looks like an awesome game!", then when you pick it up, and look at the back cover, there's a half-naked woman. There are too many inappropriate video games out there. The reason why this is annoying is because, even if you are not performing the actual event in real life, you're still doing whatever virtually. That's just as bad.

I'm planning on becoming a video game designer. It's my dream job. It's also my job to be passionate about video games. It's quite impossible to be in a job where you create video games and not be passionate about them. I've already created a few simple video games in my time. For a short while, I was learning C#, the programming language for making video games. I was actually able to make one, but it was so incredibly complicated. Not to mention I cheated by using one of the tutorials.
