Hello fellow blog followers. This will be my third official blog, the first unofficial being composed of only "Austin" words. This time I believe I will talk about the subject of video games.
Video games are seen in the common world as a mere hobby or a waste of time. Some parents and teachers view video games as an unnecessary evil that takes time away from studying or doing chores. Video games kill direly needed brain cells with flashy visuals and ferocious noises.
I say nay. I believe video games to be an opportunity to encounter otherwise impossible frontiers. The nether worlds of creativity and imagination are opened in the realms of video games. Take the game Oblivion for example. It is a First person role-playing game set in an imaginary world justly named Tamriel. If it were not for the violence presented in the game, I would not have an outlet to release my anger. I would take such anger out on the smaller people of the world. Not really. I like to think of video game worlds as alternate personalities. While I fully understand the dimensions of the real world and those of video games, I enjoy the idea that what I do in video games has no repercussions in the actual reality. I see a chance that will never to be brought to me. I believe video games to help the world through their therapeutic, mental healing, properties.
