Blog Post: Best arguments against those who hate video games






Normally most of the people that are not gamers or game lovers often think that video games are bad, video games don't provide you any education, it makes your life worse. NO, say no to all these arguments. Sometimes, video games or online games could be in a positive way too. There is a guy name Jason Rowe who has physical disabilities, and of course what normally people would react to a person that look different to them might be walk away, not friendly with them, talk bad about them, scared of them etc., which would make the person feel bad about themselves. But Jason Rowe, even though he had physical disabilities, he plays online games, and it's not bad when he play that because what he said is that, he got friends from there, and he could ride an Imperial speeder bike, fight monsters, or hang out with friends at the bar. The reason why he wanted to play is that, he wanted to interact with other people too like what normally people would do.  And for him, The computer screen is his window to the world, online doesn't matter how does the gammer looks like, everybody is the same so when he plays online games there, he gets treated equally like other people too. Basically not all the video games/game lover or online games are bad, everything is about balancing; everything would be not good when it's too "over", which means it's not balanced. Just like too much water is not good, made your cells explode but not enough water its bad for your health, you couldn't clean anything out from your body. It's all about balancing...

It is not very bad to play online games, it is just that too much wouldn't be good, but Jason gets friends through online games, he enjoyed having friends and chat with them while playing and enjoying online games. Also, he is a physical disability person, so he was glad that he could still ride a speed bike and fight monsters in the online game world.

The advantage of playing online games is that, you don't have to be pretty or handsome or famous to be friends with people in the game. Even though you have physical disabilities like Jason do, you can still enjoy playing online games and interact with friends; people in the game world won't scare you or go away from you too.

If seriously too much on playing online games, there would be a disadvantage. When it's too much, you might be too much into the game that you forgot about the regular time for your breakfast, lunch, dinner, shower, and the worst, sleep. Sleep at the very late time could cause stroke and heart problems. So it is better not to play too much.

I wonder how could he play properly if he is a physical disability person, wouldn't it be hard for him to play? Wouldn't he feel annoyed playing this game if he had a hard time pressing the keyboards...?
