Are video games STS?

[Jade]

Yeah, I like to play solo mindless games sometimes, but if I play them before bed my dreams become about about the repetitive action cycle, just all night long, playing the game, nothing else really. So I had to cut back, because my thoughts were, if this is too boring to dream about, why am I wasting my waking time? So, I have a couple of cooperative MMOs I play from time to time, with a group or with my husband, but I still get bored quite easily. It's harder and harder to just shut off the brain for mindless activities. But I do think there is a lot of value in cooperative online gaming experiences and opportunity for positive polarization, and I like to do that sometimes.
