Boris Johnson slams videogames

[goity]

Text adventures made me illiterate

[VampDude]

videogames taught me to read!

it's true, thou many games when I was 6 did'nt have much dialogue games like Faxanadu (nes) taught me to read as I played and I was actually "above my reading age"

I disagree with what that nut-bar said, videogames have'nt done me any harm. unless being taught how to read by videogames is a crime WHICH IT'S NOT, the only people who remain dumb after playing videogames have no future and should be banned from videogames unless they admit that they are dumb before pickingup that controller!

No way! This guy is cool, he makes video gaming sound like poetry. :P

Games drew me to the Internet, the Internet broadened my vocabulary, the kids of today are reading more because of the Internet.
Go blame something else. Like bad parenting.

Uhh, just like that Anti games bloke a few weeks ago that was on the news. Can't remember his name but the whole Anti games thing is his job. Feel sorry for his son.
