Your point??

I was just stating that this kids statement versus why he wouldn't "waste his time" playing games is arguable. Id rather challenge myself wasting countless hours on a game trying to complete the games tasks to the fullest than sit in class and perform calculus problems Einstein couldn't even imagine.

Games are for entertainment, and for some, a nice challenge and sometimes a bit of competition. But a 11 year-old graduate is far too ignorant to realize that.
