"Yes" ... just another form of entertainment. Considered a waste of time by many adults, although they don't seem to feel the same way about television or movies ... for some reason. Video games, like television, have come a long way!!

Say "Hi!" to him from me. Skyrim with the two DLC's - Dragonborn/Dawnguard make for a some great entertainment! Open world adventure with great music, graphics and a million things to do. Play as one of five(?) different races as a male or female. Sword, bow and/or magic capabilities (magic being the weakest ... my opinion).
There are also "fan movies" of the game on YouTube if he's interested in a preview. (I was impressed with them!)
I would never use a phone except for the networking job thing. It was invaluable for that. You can actually call in sick now and not have to talk to a soul. That's rad.
No story to tell. We went to the sub website, clicked on the day/days, typed in any messages for the sub, and clicked enter. The subs go to the same website and click on the school/class they want to go to. Very simple.
Unfortunately, that cartoon is so truthful. I and my friend took her kids on a trip ... and all they wanted to do was stay in the room and play their video games.
Now, everytime they whine that they don't go on vacations - I ask them if they are willing to leave their games behind. When they say "no", I tell them we aren't going to spend thousands of dollars taking them somewhere, when they can just as well play the games in their room.
Yes, I like video games. Grew up with them starting with the Atari and then the Super Nintendo....Sega....Xbox. My kids have Xbox Ones. They each saved their money to buy it themselves. And Nintendo 3ds. We have a Wii U in the living room.
