I chose this topic because I have always been interested in these groups coincidentally, people I know through the military surprisingly have ties to biker gangs, despite the fact it is not authorized.

    Gaming and its benefits “You are wasting our time in front of those computers, throwing away our life as we are not getting anything back.” I would hear this every time coming from my parents as I reach for the power button of my laptop.
