Okay, so my nephew Jonny is addicted to video games, but he doesn't like to admit it. So, I thought that it would be interesting to interview him. He seemed to be offended when I asked him , but he was a good sport and let me tease him a little bit... Here's how it went.
Jonny: um... i do play video games but I'm not an addict. I'm really good at games though
Cassie Jay: good at what games?
Jonny: action games.
Cassie Jay: whats your favorite action game?
Jonny: red dead redemption.
Cassie Jay: why is that your favorite game?
Jonny: cause you can do alot of stuff in that game.
Cassie Jay: could you be more specific? like what kind of stuff?
Jonny: like going into different countries... crossing the border and stuff.
Cassie Jay: what your least favorite game?
Jonny:my least favorite game?
( i smile and nod)
Jonny: my least favorite game.. my least favorite game IS,
( he snaps his fingers as if it will help him remember)
OH! halo. trust me, if you play your just not gonna get into it.
Cassie Jay: okay, well how often do you get grounded
off video games?
Jonny: sometimes... but i don't care.
Cassie Jay: ha! don't lie i live with you... you freak out.
Jonny: NO! erase that... I don't freak out... what are you talking about?
Cassie Jay: hmmm... yes you do.
Jonny: oh no i don't.
( i lift my brow and give him a smirk)
Jonny: alright lets just get over it now.
Cassie Jay: okay then... do you believe that you are in denial?
Jonny: wait what does that denial mean?
Cassie Jay: you don't think that you are addicted to playing video games right?
Jonny: ummmm... i.. umm...why do you think that?
Cassie Jay: think what that your in denial or that your an addict?
Jonny: I'm none of that i just like playing video games.
( he smiles widely)
Cassie Jay: okay, Jonny ,okay.
Dear Cassie,
ReplyDeleteUs gamers are not addicts but simply have it as a hobby. There's probably a hobby you have that I could just say you are an addict to. So yes we will freak out if games are taken away but doesn't almost everybody freak out if there hobby is taken away? I have spoken.
Michael,
ReplyDeleteWell-spoken. Agreed.
Cassie,
ReplyDeleteWow! Your Nephew sounds just like my brother. The way he loves action video games and doesn't like it when they're taken away from him. Any ways nice interview.
