Video Games Are ______.

Is productivity in and of itself a noble goal, or is doing what you love the more virtuous path?

Well, being productive is what I've been taught. But that is a good point.

Heh, I didn't make a point, I simply asked a question.

My own reasoning is; games, reading, working, music, hobbies and even socializing all have a place in becoming a better person.

True. I think it only becomes a problem when it's excessive, just like any addiction.

Fun, educational, and for me, a job

Lucky!

I'm a Lets Player. It's about the only job I can do any more.

how does someone get a job like that?

Get the equipment together and make videos.

Time vacuums!

Great!

I don't care for them, but they keep my husband busy so I can get things done!

LAME... Heh, no I enjoy them immensely

Fun!

Great fun

a great way to kill time you don't have.

A waste of time.

So are sports, vacations, weekends, etc.

You can work and never take time off to enjoy yourself, not me.

LOL HOW IRONIC! THAT'S IRONIC, YOU'RE IRONIC!

Work yourself into an early grave if you want, I'll enjoy my weekends and vacations that my hard work allowed me to have. Nothing ironic about that.

Wow dude, WOOOOOOOOOOSH

Either I'm missing something or you've missed everything including common sense.

You're definitely missing something... It's hilarious, you totally missed the point each and every time I said anything

Then perhaps you should explain yourself instead of talking in riddles.

OMG, THIS IS BY FAR THE FUNNIEST THING EVER.

You are obviously unable to explain yourself, which I find funny. Maybe you should actually say something someone can understand. Keep laughing you're only looking more foolish as time goes by.

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAH...

Just as I though, you have nothing but insane laughter.

Dude, are you really that dense?

You are obviously so ignorant and dense that your are unable to tell me what your laughing at or have your meds quit on you? Explain yourself, pull your head out, or STFU.

Obviously since you are unable to explain yourself you are the dense one and a raving lunatic too. Go back to the insane laughter or go back on your meds please. I'm having a battle of wits with and unarmed person. When you have something constructive to say come back and say it instead of having to resort to insults.

LOL

Nothing constructive I see.

BAHAHAHAHAAAAAA LOLOLOLOLOOOOOOOOOOL FWAHAGARBGLERHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

That's weird. Because anything that's 'fun' that is an activity requires some actual work to get any gratification out of it.

And while sports and vacations can be fun, they are a type of work -- working, initially, to get the money to go places or get certain equipment, and then actual work being done so that you can enjoy those things (whether it's physical, mental, or both).

The same is said for video games, though the feeling of gratification can come much easier sometimes, and while it can be arguably less work for someone to play video games in the physical sense, mental stress and work can be done too. Don't forget that.

I never said not to work, how do you think you can enjoy vacations or weekends without working for the money to afford to do what you want or go where you want?
