I'M BACK!

Yes yes yes, I know it's been a bloody long time, but internet over the summer has been pretty limited. Even now I'm tapping away on Aarons laptop. Hopefully they'll be a new laptop in Satas sack for me :)

So what's prompted this dramatic return to blogging? I've just watch Panorama and the title of this weeks addition? Addicted to Videogames. Yeah, you heard right, more bad press for video games. Suprisingly however, video games weren't presented as being the most depremental thing to the youth generation since rock and roll. The focus was much more on the individuals who are 'addicted' (although the application of this term is debateable) to gaming and less of an attack on videogames themselves. All in all, fasinating stuff.

My thoughts? I think with everything the problem lies not in the medium but the individual. Show someone with an addictive personality cocain, and I imagine they'll become addicted. Show them a copy of World of Warcraft, I'm sure they'll become addicted to that too.

So there you go. What else... I'm currently playing Fallout: New Vegas, so once thats done, I'll post my thoughts on that. And I'll be starting my dissertaion proposal in the new year, which I fully intend on gearing toward gaming. Videogames as Valid Media or perhaps The Medias Portrayal of Videogames Through the Years... something along those lines. So you can look forward to a five thousand word essay sometime in the future.

Much love :)
