This Title Should Include Some Reference to Video Games (Preferably Zelda)

The last two times I played a video game was, 1: Last Christmas playing Halo with my brothers, they killed me 8 times because I kept going backwards and getting lost in the 3-D rendered terrain, and 2: When I was drunk I played Smash Brothers for a minute, that's how long it took me to lose.

See, I'm not very good. In fact I doubt if I've even beaten a video game in my entire life.

Growing up we had a Sega Genesis in our house. My brothers and I were allowed one hour each day to play on the Genesis. Maybe more on Sundays or when they went shopping. I used my time and had fun. But as I got older, my interest in playing video games waned. By the time I started college I didn't touch them anymore.

Why? I do think they are a waste of time, that I could do much better things with my time. But the things I do with my time are no more productive than playing a video game. I would love say that the time I spend not playing video game is put to good use, but It's probably not. I waste a lot of time on the internet, watching TV, videos, etc.etc. At the end of the day I can't look down on gamers for wasting their time, when I myself waste plenty of time. So at the end I have no highbrow intellectual reason to dislike video games, just a complete lack of interest in them.
