Try going to your local library and looking in the "reader's guide to periodical
literature" under "video games". I'm sure there's studies done in psychology
journals and whatnot about the effects of vids on your brain. If your library
nxs501nopd
a hobby, is also a goal. We must all set goals in life and this
helps us achieve it, even though it doesn't exist. However, gam-
ing can also bring out new personalities in you. It can also
make up the decision of your life, being a programmer. Also,
you may also learn many things. For example, I got my ideas
for ALL my essays from FINAL FANTASY VII, the game that made
us realize that no one person should focus on ONE goal. Tell
your dad all this, and if he still doesn't agree, just say
AT LEAST I HAVE SOMETHING TO DO AND NOT GETTING MY DICK SUCKED
LIKE PRESIDENT BILL CLIN-OK so,you won't say that.... WELL,
it keeps you busy so you go into gangs and crime!!!! WAIT
THATS A GREAT answer and I got it from the game THIEF, the
DARK PROJECT/GRAND TEHFT AUTO! SEE, gamez help!

That's cool. Where I live, they call it a "between
book-borrow-buildings-borrow." Your way is way easier to remember though.

Dude, that whole Clinton thing was and is complete BS. In my opinion,
where the president sticks his penis has absolutely no effect on the
nation. Ken Starr is a very jealous man. They had some thing making
fun of him on Conan O' Brien. It was funny. It was a skit called
"celebrity resumes" and they had Ken Starr. It said "1967 - interned at
White House. Was forced to perform oral sex on LBJ......vowed revenge"

If I recall correctly, there's a study that says playing arcade videogames
burns roughly the same number of calories as walking. Playing RPGs probably
won't have the same effect, though.
There was another study that (aduh) said that people who play videogames tend
to do better at activities that are similar to those found in videogames than
people who do not play videogames.
All in all, I doubt that there's any evidence that there's anything
inherently redeeming about playing videogames. Here are some arguments that
you might present, though: 1. He'll know exactly where you are (a lousy
argument if he wants you outside playing sports). 2. You get extremely good
grades (but then you probably wouldn't have to argue about videogames). 3.
You need to learn to do the things you enjoy in moderation (ie.
self-control)- a lousy argument if you play RPGs obsessively and have
repeatedly demonstrated a complete lack of control. 4. You're studying
Japanese, planning on importing games, and will eventually be needing uh...
cultural reference material (Not likely unless you're studying Japanese). 5.
It's not really an argument, but you might ask your father what you can do in
return for his allowing you to play videogames (but maybe it'll end up being
washing the dishes, taking out the trash every week, mowing the lawn, washing
the car, trimming the hedges, and re-tiling the bathroom floor, though).
Face it. You're living under his roof and until you move out, you'll have to
live under his rules. You do have other hobbies besides for videogaming,
right? If you don't, maybe your father might have a point.

Yeah, or he could follow your advice, and maybe acquire your empty, reflexive,
sense of superiority; then he could become a pompous loser like yourself. I
never saw this kid ask for a way to get his dad's permission to "live for" or
"continually play" videogames. Anything taken to excess is bound to be harmful,
but there's sure nothing wrong with relaxing with videogames. Maybe there are no
measurable "benefits", but the same could be said for watching television or a
movie. Nobody is capable of "improving" themselves 24/7, and vids are just as
good a way to spend your leisure time as anything else.

Your dad is correct, all you have to do is read some of the replies by
people who DO live for videogames to see just how sad, unfunny, childish
and stupid you'll become.
Put it in perspective, what does constantly playing games offer you in
the long run?

Its a prime age for me in that and I'm already enjoying the WWF now!

better than TV in many ways...my English teacher is obsessed with beign a
smartass and she'll tell you video games will do you some good (she graduated
some major college and loves to stretch her kids to the limit (Good but
annoying))
