Ever since I've been playing video games/using a computer my eye sight has deteriorated. It's not awful, just not perfect.

So wait, how bad is this? Can you give a +/- count, or like an example?

I used to sit at my PS3 for 8 hours a day playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 when I was 11. And I was an obese, unhealthy, annoying little shit bag. But as you get older and you expand your footprint of the internet, I feel that it can help you in gaining a greater understanding of the world.

Well, I'm quite your opposite (or well...)
Me and my brother got a PS2 for christmas when I was around 8 years old (my brother was 6) and I was only allowed to play 2.5 hours a week. Time passed, and I got a brief introduction to computers when my father had a desktop, and he let me use it a couple of times when I was 12. After that, at the age of 14 I got my first own computer, a mini-laptop that was worth 200 Euros, and (obviously) not powerful. Then I gradually got into games, playing more and more, until I was introduced to minecraft in seventh grade, and started properly playing it in eight. A friend from my school knew Java, and I (as a minecraft nerd) thought I knew a lot about mods and stuff. He challenged me to try to make a mod (and even though I didn't know any Java) I took up the challenge. So then I learned Java, and made the MOST basic of mods. That's where it all started...

Then later that year I built my desktop, on which I've been gaming ever since. But I think I'm going to move to more serious programming now, and try to get my concentration ability back up.

I've never been much of a socialiser, but I can agree on your last point, gaming and the internet in general make you A LOT better in reading between lines, as you can't actually see the person you're "talking" to, and have to deprive all of their attitude and such from just the "talk"

I am someone who found computers and stuff late on, and think gaming does help with reading in between lines.

I love your quotes <3

I think we all do.

This is my story exactly, but for me it was PC all the way, never had a console but a PS2 back in the day.

^Read my story above^

yeah... never had a console since the PS2, and I doubt I ever really will. I guess I'll just always preach the golden days of the PS2
