Thursday Night Plans.

Hello, my friends,

   Thursday has been a good day. I have come up with new ideas for work. It has taken a lot of time to figure out what I'm going to do and how I'm going to do it, and I'm still not finished. With these new ideas come great excitement for me. To bring to my viewers something they can enjoy and talk about. My hope for you is to leave reading my blogs with a desire to do better. And to seek out good things. I know there is a lot of time where you can spend inside on the computer or out with your friends. But there are great things in this world. And I hope you find enjoyment in them. One of my new topics I would like to discuss with you is the topic of taking videogame play into real life. What I'm saying is people are saying videogames are bad for you, which can be the case. But that's not what I'm here to talk to you about. It's to tell you the skills and knowledge you have learned while you have and are playing videogames can be applied to real life. I have researched them and I know this for myself. It is actually exciting.

    When you are playing video games you have opportunities in them to make decisions you will have to make in real life. But without the long last consequences. here is one example: when someone is asking you to do something for them in a videogame you have the opportunity to help them or not help them. This could be counted as an act of service or charity. And if you practice charity and service in video games you may become better at doing it in real life. I have also seen videos of new jobs where people are playing videogames similar to the ones you are playing. They interact with each other, they work with spread sheets, they have problems to solve, and they even have a life just like you. Except one thing is different and that is this: the people who don't practice in these simulation worlds don't have the experience you do. Some of them will go into their jobs and have no idea what to do. But this isn't the case with you. You will have the experience needed.

    You can also work together in the videogames in ways you can't in life. In these videogames you are working together to find ways to solve these problems. Whereas in real life to learn you sometimes have to break an actual leg, which is no fun. You can learn how to do things without being involved physically. This can be a great help for you as you go into work, play sports, or prepare for school. You will even be better because you can see the consequences of doing these things. You will also know what to avoid. Hopefully when you play these games you will think about the benefits of playing them. And when you do play pick the good guy.

Thank you,
Christopher Monson
