Xbox is…
Xbox is entertainment. I remember from the time I was little playing xbox being absolutely captivated. Having all the fun in the world was what I was doing on the joysticks.
From playing Tomb Raider, to NHL 99, the xbox world was my place to be while growing up.
When the Xbox 360 came out I was blown away at how much more advanced it was compared to the original Xbox. I could talk to my friends! With a headset Microsoft made it possible to join Xbox LIVE Parties and chat to up to eight people at a time. My friends and I shared our days conversing about our latest video game achievements, and our current state of affairs; xbox made for a great networking tool.
Xbox is life derailment. Homework did not get done with an Xbox hooked up in my high school days. I spent an unnecessary amount of time sitting down wired to a headset with a joystick in my hand, yelling at a TV. The amount of weight I gained playing Xbox is juvenile. I blame Microsoft for making such an addicting system. Beautiful days I can’t have back are long gone. It didn’t matter what kind of weather we were having on Xbox; it could be a sunny summer day and it wouldn’t matter. I needed those Xbox achievements. I grew far apart from everybody else and my priorities on that death machine. Lucky for me I don’t own one anymore, and my life took an upswing in positive outcomes after I got rid of the wretched brainwash contraption. (It brainwashes you to become a couch potato)
