KJB Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 surrounded by peers who live to play. And, given the nature of men, I expect most young men to get some enjoyment out of the opportunity to be the hero. Part of the video game craze that I think they find appealing is getting to save the day, wear the white hat, show up and conquer. Men have been doing that since the beginning of men. I must admit, I have no idea how violent the games the op is referring to actually are having little personal experience with anything other than Ms Pacman.:D We have no video games in our house save the computer which gets little use other than school related software. My husband finds video games a huge time waster and can't begin to understand why a grown man would be interested in such ridiculousness. And, the only time I personally hear of grown men playing these games is here on this board. If possible, I have even less interest than my dh. Even so, I won't be surprised if my sons want to act the good guy and play these games when they hit young adulthood. I do think in today's world, given the almost universal teen interest in video games, my kids will most likely spend some time behind the "joystick" (do they still call it that? :lol:). If they do decide to play, I won't think any less of them. I'm sure maturity and real life, along with their excellent upbringing :tongue_smilie: will bring them around. And, I hope my sons have real life opportunities to wear the white hat and flex their ability to save the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
