Video Game Addiction – The Tribe

For those of my readers that have never seen The Tribe, I will provide a brief summary below.

The premise behind The Tribe is a world without adults. An infectious disease has broken out that only affects adults, leaving children and teenagers to fend for themselves. As a means of survival, the kids and teenagers have formed tribes and laid claims to certain sectors of the city (I am unaware of what city they are in). Some tribes want peace and equality while other tribes seek to conquer and dominate.

This TV show from New Zealand The Tribe depicts video games as a form of brainwashing. The tribe named the “Technos” has come up with an alternate reality in which you can become whoever you want and go wherever you want. All of your fantasies become reality. For the leader of the Technos I can see how this is a world he would never want to escape from, as in real life he is paralyzed needing a wheelchair to move around. Despite this fact he knows better than to become addicted to this virtual world. Several of the characters within the TV show though are depleted to a state of zombies as a consequence of playing the video game for too long. The street has become vacant and most of tribes are only interested in playing the game.

If a game like that existed, I would happily trade in 4-6 hours of my day accomplishing the dreams that I know I can never have in real life. Instead of watching superman on TV fly, I would love to fly. Unfortunately, there is no such video game. Nintendo, Playstation, X-Box, etcetera, get working.

Editing Week!

I read a blog on writing, one of my favorite things to do and one of their suggestions was to make your blog grammar and spelling perfect. Well, as near perfect as you can make it. This is by far the best advice on any piece of writing someone can give. I do not intend to make my writing impeccable, but this week I will be revising my blog for obvious spelling and grammatical errors. When there are several noticeable errors it disrupts the flow of writing. For a blog to be striking and interesting, one of the key elements is a spelling and error free blog.

I haven't been writing since I've been consumed by some popular fiction lately. I have finished reading a number of books since my last post. I have listed below all the books I have completed, in no particular order.

1. After Ever After by Jordan Sonnenblick
2. Boot Camp by Todd Strasser
3. The Adoration of Jenna Fox by Mary E. Pearson
4. Parrotfish by Ellen Wittlinger
5. Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen
6. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead
7. Vampire Academy, Book 2 - Frostbite by Richelle Mead
8. Vampire Academy, Book 3 - Shadow Kiss by Richelle Mead
