No video games and no television service (satelite, broadcast or cable), though we do have broadband internet, and we do own a Television set and a VCR. We use internet daily (though not to excess), and watch maybe a dozen movies a year (mostly classics, a few new releases.)
I don't know how anyone has time to play games or watch TV. Considering the shit that is on TV these days, I don't know why anyone would want to watch TV. My 17-year-old daughter has never bitched about not having a game system and has never asked for one. I told her when she leaves she can take the TV/VCR with her and she declined.
We spend time (the little we find) reading or writing. And with the huge number of excellent literature already written, I don't see my situation ever changing.
