Sex Drugs and Pimply Teenagers A Positive Perspective On Video Games
When you watch TV, you vegetate. TV is a passive medium, you sit, eyes open mouth open if you are of a lesser stock. You take in all that is thrown at you with only two options change the channel and take a chance that you will something "important"(like the people who were taking a whiz when JR was shot) or you can turn it off. No one turns it off, ever, some people don't even watch it but they leave it on. That is called background noise, just the fact that they do that, shows that TV is fluff with rarely important things on it.Video Games, some challenge the mind, some satisfy a Neolithic bloodlust that is innate in all humans(mostly active in men). In some of these First person shooters(I will refer to them as FPS from now on) strategy is involved, you are constantly planning, analyzing, every noise every movement every pixel on your screen COULD be something that's trying to kill you. It excites the mind AND the senses, however if you have all the planning and strategy in the world it doesn't make a lick of difference when someone points a deser
The key to satisfying the bloodlust is KNOWING HOW TO AIM. Farmer will get enough customers to absorb the loss! That's capitalist competition. This is what is called "Civility", I don't do what I want to because it wouldn't be civil. You are exposed to violence through TV and through video games, the major difference doesn't come from whether you absorb the violence passively, or whether you participate in it. Farmer is already selling apples, how will I make any money? I know! I shall sell my apples at a slightly lower price than John Q. Violence, we all have tendencies towards violence, but we suppress them. They were spawned from those impulses but not made for that purpose. The real, human impulses of a few people led to the creation of a huge industry which is furthering the development of the worlds economies on more than one level, and is helping people young and old hone their mental abilities as well as physical. So I need an outlet for these horrible thoughts and emotions that I get sometimes. There are however some channels who do not show violence, discovery for example. Violence is all over television, most channels show violence and a lot of it is very graphic. IF YOU CANT AIM THE GUN THEN NOTHING DIES, and that's pretty pointless isn't it? So not only does one require a sharp and strategizing mind, one also must have excellent hand-eye coordination. Video games OF ALL KINDS proliferate competitiveness, I'm sure you didn't forget my freak-out in the last paragraph.
