Re: Video games = drugs?

Some video games you can consider bad. But the older games for the original NES,Playstation(the first one),Game boy,color,advance and so on. All of those have those speech bubbles that you have to read. Thats what I started on for the basics of reading. Like trying to sound out the words and other junk like that.Most of that crap that they said was Bull $h!t. She is just a bad mom. Thats all.

I wonder if I actually need to say anything, since it seems everyone here has almost the same opinion.

Super Mario 64 and Yoshi's story are where I first concentrated on letter pronunciation. Super Mario 64 really didn't have a lost of text, but Yoshi's story did. Yay. Sigh...Donkey Kong Country.

I think if we put the parents in our position...or if they had this stuff back in their day, it would be even worse now.

Hah, I have that L (slightly curved) shaped chair that that one guy was sitting in. It's awesome for video games.

Anyway, parents are always looking for excuses for their child's grades. Video games and ADD seem to be the current trend (along with computers). I'm not saying video games can't affect grades, they sometimes do, but who really cares?

Re: Video games = drugs?

My parents taught me how to read when I was 3 because I would beg them to come downstairs and tell me what FFIII said. (yes moogy, I know it's VI in Japan.)

the beginning was exaggerated bull****.
the middle was a sympathy story.
the end made just a little sense. (the homework stuff)
