I usually don't play that much. I actually find myself tweaking/organizing a lot more than playing games. When I get tired of the tweaking/organizing, I'll jump into a game until I get sleepy then go to bed.

I think that there are good/bad points of video game playing. Good points are that they do provide a stress relief as well as improving eye/hand coordination.

The bad point is when parents place thier kids in front of games so that the parents don't have to interact with the kids. I think this "lack" of guidance and interaction in the childs life is one of the leading causes for problems in society.

ok....I'm off the soapbox now....sorry....
