Video Games

What is the obsession with video games? Justin just purchased a Playstation 3 for himself tonight. He had already gone on Ebay and purchased a soccer game BEFORE he even had the system! The postman delivered the game today and he promptly went to the store and bought it. Not only that, he bought ANOTHER game while he was buying the system. So tonight consisted of me doing homework with Justin shooting at Italians and Germans in Sicily in the background. This was our saturday night. He has been talking of buying a video game system since he got home from Iraq. He has done the research for a while and was debating on which one to actually buy. He decided Playstation would be the best out of all of them. I think he has spent more time researching a video game system than the government has with the bail out. And he gets to kill Nazi's in the end.

I guess I will never know what the draw is for spending so much time and energy on researching, planning, buying and playing video games. As for the games, unless you want to kill something, fight something or race something, then you are out of luck. At least for Playstation. He wouldn't buy the Wii. I really would have loved to relive my childhood with some Super Mario Bros...I guess I know what the obsession is.

I can relate! Although I fear this post will motivate Chad to dig out his system and remind him of all the "fun" and totally wasted hours spent playing. Wish me luck on this end!

If I don't know who they are-I am creeped out. Especially when they keep it going and don't tell me who they are.

That is so funny! Todd took his back the day after you guys went home. I did a wine and Wii night out with some local Moms. I'm definitely putting it on MY Christmas list! Exercising and playing at the same time!!

Do you want me to mail the Maddon game??

Heather, let boys be boys. And let the boys who live across the street come over and play said game and bring beers to us when we are out. Just my two cents.

Kris-I will ask Justin if he wants the game-I already know what the answer will be.

Weylin-You can walk the 20 feet across the street to our house to play it anytime and I will get you a beer while you play! Justin will have to get his own beer...
