Video Game Ted Talks

Where do you place yourself in video game culture?

I am a video gamer in today’s society of gamer I play a reasonable amount of video games. I often won’t play for a week so I am not considered an addict. If my video game consoles were to be sold and I would never play a game again I wouldn’t die. So I am placed in the middle of the video game class pyramid. I am in the middle between the addicts and people who don’t play what so ever.

What do you think of video games and video game culture?

I think that video games are a vast industry started by Mr. Zinclair and expanding rapidly is an activity that is taking over the world. I personally am not against video games but to the extent they are right now its fine but as time they will integrate into people’s life and become a problem.

What do you think the impact of video games will be on our future culture?

Well depending on how video games modernize if they keep getting more advanced like they currently are people will eventually control a robotic version of themselves. This idea came to me from a movie I saw the movie was called surrogates, where everyone is home controlling a robotic version of themselves so the game will be the game of life.

One Point found interesting or important?

The point I found most interesting and couldn’t believe was that, a majority of people who play video games are women. Honestly out of all my friends who are girl none of them play video games how could it be that there’s more girls than guys maybe girls play in the closet or something cause I don’t believe this stat is true.
