These are some common thoughts people share about video games. Although excessive video game playing can be a bad thing, there are many benefits to gain from playing video games. This article will be discussing these. Given my extensive gaming experience, I feel fully qualified to discuss this topic.

I have been around video games for most of my life! It started with the Nintendo GameBoy and GameCube. Eventually, that turned into the Nintendo Wii, which turned into XBOX 360 and PS4.

Favorite Games include

  • Call of Duty(especially MW2 and Black Ops)
  • Halo(3 and Infinite)
  • Fortnite(first few seasons)
