One of the reasons I'm not that active is because I've been using VGChartz on Vita lately. My Blackberry is pretty much useless, and my real phone is fixed, but has trouble connecting to Wifi for some reason. And my Vita recently got stolen by a 8 year old, though I did eventually got it back. The following is a true story.

My little brother is one of those kids who are obsessed with Minecraft. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun game, but at around Tuesday last week, my brother didn't want to let go of my Vita, and Imy dad told him that he  wouldn't be allowed to play it for the next week.. The next day, I realized that my Vita and it's charger were missing. I didn't suspect my brother at first, because I thought him innocent. However, he talked a lot about his exploits in Minecraft, and the only other Minecraft we had was on one of our laptops and I was using that laptop from Monday to Friday. There was no way he used Minecraft for so long, so I got suspicious. So the next day, Friday last week, before school, I told him to give me back my Vita tomorrow. However, that day, the bully in his class stole my Vita to spite him because he was defending one of  his friends and also because the bully was jealous my brother had Minecraft: Vita Edition. I was furious with that kid, and wanted to wring his neck when my brother told me this. I had to cut a class during Monday to get my Vita back, but i was told that the kid was sick. Yesterday, when I confronted the bully, he confessed to stealing it, and led me to where he hid it. He was hiding it behind a toilet! Now that bathroom floor of our school is always wet and  I found my Vita screen down. The screen of my Vita is now not working, and my brother is grounded from playing video games for 2 weeks. My brother told me that all his friends always played Minecraft on their iPads and Android tablets, and he  got jealous. He stole my Vita to show off to his friends. I forgave him for stealing my Vita, as I know how jealousy can affect a person. But since yesterday, I've hated the effect of Minecraft on children!

TL;DR: The effect of Minecraft on children made all his friends buy Minecraft Pocket edition. My brother gets jealous and steals my Vita for Minecraft. A bully steals it from him, and now my Vita screen is always flickering.

What's your reaction to my story?

I hate brothers. One time my brother tried to take my PS3 to college with him despite the fact I paid for it in full. He tried to claim he had bought most of it and I had paid for the extra controller and games (not true as we agreed in the store I would have full control of the console). He then cut my power cord once when he was pissed at me. I'm sorry what was this thread about?

Thats why certain videogames should be banned like china does

That's an addiction problem not a gaming problem.

I hate what alcohol and gambling does to my mom's side of the family, but it doesn't make alcohol and gambling inherently bad. I'm sure that's not what you're arguing, but I think the Minecraft incident is a reflection of something more than just obsession with a videogame.

Idiotic brothers.

I'm pretty sure that alcohol and gambling don't have thousands of YouTubers drinking and gambling.

That's too extreme.

Pretty funny shit but at least Minecraft is better than Candy Crush

Although, if my future child plays either of those, I would ground them for a week

I think he should have been grounded for more than 2 weeks and have had to work off for the money to replace your Vita

Lol, I know a few kindergarteners that are fans of Minecraft.

Oh well, at least they aren't playing F2P games like Flappy Bird or whatever is popular now..


Too bad about your Vita though...
