Ode to video games

A poem I read once, I couldnt find the source so I am writing it down from memory. Sorry to whomever originally wrote it, but I like it. So, yeah.  
 
They say that video games are a waste of time. 
They act as if they are a crime. 
They say that they will rot your brain, 
That six hours a day is insane.

I say that rubbish isn't true. 
How can they be bad for you? 
The strategy they overlook. 
The values which they mistook.

They say there is no variety—
Racing, Platform, Society. 
Have they played them? Usually not. 
Yet they're fast to judge the lot.

They think all games are blood and gore, 
That killing civilians racks up the score. 
Sure for some games that might be true, 
But I say most games are good for you.

Uhm, ok. I am female and currently pregnant. Pretty sure that means I got laid. 
  
Oh, I am sorry, were you talking about yourself? Forgive me.

And having sex has what to do with this, exactly? "

Well, it's a signifier for the social success which will be denied the author of this poem. "

Oh, I see. Pardon my ignorance. "

Welcome to the site. I enjoyed the poem, even if the first comment in this thread was painfully ignorant.

Poetry and justice. Awesome!

Encyclopedic knowledge is awesome I guess.  Second only to getting laid I guess.  Followed closely by social success.

not the greatest first impression of giant bomb ><    
welcome to the site! don't mind the first post :<  
 i'm not a fan of poetry but it was pretty nice.  

Question: is there a format to the ode, like there is with the sonnet and the haiku that America fucked up (it's pretty much 5/7/5 letters, not syllables), or is it just a word people use when they want to hump something through poetry?

Videogames are juvinile as hell
A good story, they have never been able to tell
 
Neckbeards and mouthbreathers, as far as the eye can see
It may be you, certainly not me.   
 
Thankfully, they can atleast be fun to play,
Otherwise, this shit would be really lame

The Giantbomb community has its perks. 
Sadly some of us are just plain jerks. 
  
Ignore these dicks and you'll quickly see 
That Giantbomb is the place to be! 
 
(Also congraturations on being pregnant)
