That video games are way to over rated? Or even sports in general for that matter? I was always the last one pick in grade school most probably know the feeling right? But now i just turned 17 i am 6 foot 5 inches and 240 pounds i am really fit and yet people are pestering me into submission to do sports does anyone ever feel that sometimes the entertainment world is too big? No one wants to know ME they just want to know what i can give to their team. Like my dad all he wants is for me to do sports but i dont because i hate the whole concept and he says "Well, you should try wrestling" And this where i feel like saying you know i have aspergers right? Because the whole concept sick!

But anyways what i am trying to say anyone want to shed light on their own opinion?

I don't think video games are overrated. I DO think most sports are overrated

I don't watch TV news anymore because they are owned by Entertainment Conglomerates and so half the news is celebrity gossip and instead of interviewing the newsmakers, the reporters interview each other.

Yeah, sports is overrated. They can be useful for disciplines.

I don't really care about sports, and I think certain videogames are overrated, but I don't really see the connection there...unless you mean competitive gaming, which I think is awful silly...they go to such great lengths to take the fun out of the game just to win, that I don't see what the point really is. Keybinds up the wazoo, flat textures, custom flat colored models...I'd rather just PLAY the game.

I think sports are overrated. I never saw much point in them, and I find it incredibly stupid that sports fans get into "my team is better than yours" disputes, since most of them just watch the games, not play in them.

Video games have always been my favorite form of entertainment, but I don't like competitive gaming. I prefer to play games by myself. Fortunately, most of them have a "single-player" mode.

I've always thought of sports as some weird NT group conformity thing. But, I have an aspie friend who loves sports, so my theory is out the window.

I still remember being in band at HS and our team lost the championship after 10 yrs straight of winning, and being surrounded by people in tears, wondering, "What the hell?"
