I never liked video games. Yes, I'm not good at it, but I never had the desire to get better at it either. Of course a lot of my guy friends love it and many of my girl friends do too... but I just don't get why it's so good. You loose a lot of communication and all you are doing is pushing buttons to kill, level up, or go forward. What makes you like video games? What's so great about it?

Then I guess you really don't like riddles or puzzles. It's challenging for some, trying to figure out how to beat the game. Although using those cheats take out all the fun.

Oh I like riddles because they are words. Puzzles, eh, it's ok.

I'm no good at video games either, but I know many of them are created as problem-solving puzzles and in that respect they can stimulate thinking - a bit like dungeons and dragons i guess when I was in high school in the 80's. But now the trend is you go online and get cheats so you can get to the end faster, so even the thinking part is not all it could be. Also, video games technology has been put to use in new medical devices and flight trainers, so the technology has some great other uses.

Oh yes, I forgot about those cheats! Why even play then?? But if they are for training medical stuff I guess it's ok. But for the regular people, I still don't get it.
