My name is Detour and I'm a vidiot...
It started with the airforce dogfight training games...then Pong came out...
Asteroids was a Godsend, but not as much as Pole Position, at the pizza parlor,
the the only place I could legally drink and drive.
Then I bought a Nintendo...donkey kong just wasn't enough, I moved on to
Galaga, buying a black market version in an alley. I didn't like duck hunt
too much...I hate hunting. One day, I realized I was a Vidiot...I looked at
my life as wasted and going nowhere.
I have weaned off of video games , going cold turkey over 15 years ago.
I still sweat when I see or hear about an xbox...I guess I'll never really
know how good that is, as I have accepted that I'm powerless against the
forces of video, and that once I drop in that first quarter I am hooked again.
I now spend 7 hours a day running an internet business , along with perusing
forums, websites,ebay,etc...while doing radiation research via gamma rays from laptop screens and wireless aperati... I feel so much better now that my life is fullfilled, absent of the ridiculous games and nonsense, the addictions, the whims,waste of time,etc...the void of violence from my life via those nasty,horrible, satanic video games.
Sorry , have to put more sunscreen on...
