He didn’t have the time for video games is what I’m saying.

And it’s a safe bet you didn’t suffer at all because of that. :-)

Gotcha. I didn’t in college either. Engineering classes are pretty brutal, especially 1 credit labs that take up 20+ hours a week.

The funny thing is, once he graduated and became gainfully employed, he bought one and maybe plays it on rare occasion. Between his job taking him all over the world on various assignments and his recent marriage, he still doesn’t have time for it! LOL

I almost never use my PS3 either, except as a Blu-Ray player and for NetFlix.

If he’s married, gaming is over unless she games too.

LOL. Nope. She’s finishing her Masters as an Occupational Therapist so she has no time for that. His firm has been bouncing him all over the place. I haven’t even been able to get any range time with him!

On the other hand, neither one of them seems to be harmed by it. :-)

Anybody want to bet this kid went to a public school? If so this is heinous. I'd take the sledge hammer and take it to school and smash the school.

If this were a private school then just hide it in the attic till he gets his grades up.

He should have simply punished him from gaming until next the next grade period. Having him smash it up is over the line, not criminal, but just too far.
