I've never been into video games. It wasn't that my parents didn't want me to play them, it's just that they never really introduced them to me. My exposure to video games/TV/the internet was quite limited as a kid, partially because I didn't have time for them. The closest I ever got to "video games" was playing Super Mario Bros and Hunt for Red October on my dad's gameboy that is older than I am. Also, whenever I mentioned that my friends watched a lot of TV, they told me that screens turn kids' brains into oatmeal. I sure didn't want my brain to turn into my favorite breakfast.
