    Scott Langteau has this message for kids:Spend less time playing video games.

    It’s a message that many a morn and dad have tried to impress upon many a youngster(and some not-so-youngsters)who spend perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.

    But the 40-year-old Langteau isn’t a parent.He’s experienced at video games--one who played producer on three‘‘Medal of Honor”games and co-founded his own game development compan.

    Langteau has just published a children’s book called“Sofa Boy”,which tells the story of a kid

 who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller held in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow.

    It’s a fairy tale picked straight from Langteau’s own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his painful struggle against game addiction.But first,Langteau would like to make one thing clear:I’m not saying that you shouldn’t play video games.I think video games are great,I think they do great things for kids.Instead,Langteau says his book is all about a little something called“moderation(克制)”.

    “It’s about being well rounded,”he says.“Just like with anything else,we all need to make

 sure that there’S a variety in what we do.’’

    Video garners can be rather bad--tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment.And understandably 80.After all,most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders--people who don’t play video games and certainly don’t understand that they call be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.

    But Langteau and“Sofa Boy”seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game masses might actually listen to.After all,this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games.His early experience has taught him a lesson.
