"your kid sounds like a loner without personal friends to spend time and bond with."

You either don't know today's video games or you don't know today's kids. Most kids are online in multiplayer games, and know more folks than we ever did as kids. I certainly know and keep in touch with a lot more folks now that I'm online.

Plus, the games that were mentioned above are actually physically active games. From what I understand, one of the new Star Wars tv hookup games is actually going to include a lightsaber game--where you play with a saber!

Video games are getting better at including physical activity. It's not just gamer's thumb anymore.

Learn about what you're deriding before you are so eager to judge.

Well if playing games online or talking to someone in chat rooms is your idea of interpersonal bonding and relationship building, then so be it. Each to his own. You sound like the type that would order a mail-order bride.

Must be I struck a nerve for you to get so defensive. I do know what I speak of and I'm not the only one who understands that obsession with video games or withdrawal from personal interaction stuns a person's development of social skills necessary to interact in society. If that works for you, what do I care if you want to be a recluse. After all, it's a free country.
