 Posted: 11/20/03 - 07:53 Post subject: What's the Difference?
|
|
|
I get shit from my parents and sisters, and sometimes my wife about playing a computer game. They, meanwhile, are getting pudgy watching the idiot box for days on end. I'd really like to know how me being on the computer for 4 hours 1 or 2 days out of the week makes me a bad person. I go to work, I pay my bills, I take care of my wife and make sure she is happy BEFORE I turn it on, and I get shit anyways.
Whats the difference between watching tv and playing on a computer game and why does gaming always get the shit end of the poostick?

Because they don't understand what's fun about it I guess.
Maybe they feel watching tv is more social because they can do that with you? well... sorta.
PS I dont feel there is a difference btw, just what you prefer. When I play EQ/some other game its usually during the time I would otherwise use to watch tv, or read a book or something like that

There is no difference at all but people rarely understand that

Computer games are far better than TV. When you play games you actually INTERACT with the computer. Watching TV is a passive activity, which does little for your mind.
