More Video Games

The class conversation about video games was a little interesting and made me glad I don't play any of them.  They did, however, remind me of how my half brother was when he was really abscessed with video games.  When he was younger he used to play video games 24-7 and lock himself in his room in order to do so.  His grandmother on my step-father's side would buy him all of the games he wanted.  By the age of 12 or 13 he learned how to drive by himself, I'm surprised he hasn't gotten caught by the police yet.  He still plays video games, but not as much as he used to.  Despite what most people said about video games making humans dumber my half brother and my cousin proves that to be false.  My half brother is smart, but purposefully fails his school work so he doesn't have to go home, due to the problems at home at the time.  My cousin loves science and is one of the top students in his class.  I guess it depends on how the individual uses the games.  There are a lot of video games that can make you use the brain to make certain strategies that may help them when it comes to solving problems.
