Japanese video game addiction?

When his mother told him to go outside and play, this is probably not what she had in mind.

    I think that’s a world wide addiction for little boys. I remember being compelled to play video games with my nephew back in the nineties. He writes software for Microsoft now so maybe it’s not so bad as addictions go.

      No, not and at all.

      Agreed. Pretty sure I’d be exactly the same if were a little lad today with all the technology that’s available. Nah, there’s no pretty sure about it. I would definitely be like him!

    A nice configuration of colorful checkered shirt, red video game and red\white shoes. Even the low inner part of his pants follow the same pattern of the shirt. That is Japan where a game addict also keeps a style. (laughing)

      Haha, yes, he’s a colourfully dressed little fella that’s for sure. His trousers reminded me of the Bay City Rollers to be honest. Not sure how pleased he’d be about that!

    Is this any different than the guy playing with his calculator?

      Very different. Much brighter looking screen. Far more appealing graphics. And way more options available.

    So many means to waste time and have nothing but a personal top score to show; at least with my camera I get to have some negatives to show for my obsession with gadgets 🙂

      Yes, that’s very true. Hopefully plenty of good ‘uns too!
