As an author of both children's fiction and non-fiction as well, I am a huge believer in the power of words. And that over video games. This does not mean that I'm a stranger to video games. On the contrary, I grew up playing games in arcades and at home on old systems like the Commodore 64. For most of my life have I felt that anyone over 18 should give up video games and that if a child plays too much they will stunt their ability to learn.
Those are opinions, how much based upon fact, who knows? However, I have to say that the older I get the more I realize that this form of entertainment is the Millennial's way of communicating, interacting, bonding, and just plain old having fun.
After stumbling on a blog the other day I had to laugh to myself because it evoked my own fond memories of playing video games. The author is Maldavian Arcturus and if this writer continues, there may be much more interesting word art to come.
