{ Runescape - Just a Game, or MY OWN PERSONAL HELL? }
Sarcastic-
Ok...seriously. It's about 5:30 right now, and I'm sitting five feet away from our 6 children's computers. There are, and I just counted, 16 people crowded around those 6 computers. And guess what EVERY screen has on it...yup, Runescape. Now, I understand that online gaming can be fun. I've played MMORPGs before. But holy crap, people, it's just a game! In the past few weeks, we've had fights, threats, screaming, and a bloody lip, because of a bunch of 10 year olds playing a game.
I am dreading summer vacation for these kids. I know that I'm a children's librarian, and that my position entails working with every kid, but good Lord...I'ma 'bout to smack every one of them over the head. They're only here from 3-8:30 right now, but give it a few more months, and they'll be here, with no breaks from 9-8:30...every day...for 2 months...playing this blasted game.
Ugg...I need coffee...coffee and an internet failure...
