What are your opinions on video games?
What is your favorite sport and why?
Describe your dream house.

      Video games have been somewhat of a villain for a long time now. Mostly in the fact that they are a "waste of time" for you. I would argue otherwise. Take for example, my favorite game, League of Legends. It is a ten player, five versus five, strategy game. Each player, or summoner as the game refers to them, picks a champion (character) to use for the entire match. You are matched with four other random people on your team or you can play with your friends. There are several typical positions: attack damage carry, support, mid, top, and jungle. In addition to this every character has attack damage, ability power, movement speed, magic resist, armor, attack speed and critical hit chance. Every champion has three abilities. It's probably sounding like a lot of work to play it already, but that isn't all. As mentioned earlier, you have four teammates. This is not some mindless first person shooter (although I do enjoy a good one every now and then), this is strategy. It's a live action chess almost. Much like chess it requires a lot of forethought and skill. Because of the amount of thought, skill, and memorization involved in playing League, I think it is not a waste of my time.
