These articles make me want to sucker punch the people who perform these studies.
What?!
Um, that was a fairly positive article. What is the problem? Anyway games do make me angry if I am playing a particularly frustrating part, but it goes away as soon as I stop playing (which I do). There are some people out there that it will affect, but the same is true of getting stuck in traffic. At which point playing a game would probably help.
Except for the 50% of the time when 1% of stats simply sit there and offer zero support to arguments that have nothing at all to do with them 60% of the time.
What I can't make an obscure out of context comment from left field based solely on the title like 98% of the people on the internet? Pfffft
P-P-P-P-Pleeeeeeze Eddie! I just came to see Jessica... and to have a DIET COKE!
The cop let me off when I told him "sorry sir, video games made me do it."
Now I can't use that excuse anymore?
Good thing they made Red Dead Redemption 18+ first thing anyone does in those types of games is how much bounty they can get before the law gets them. I think I lasted 1 hour in the bar with a shotgun and a bounty of 3000.
I think it all comes down to our human need to hunt and the fact that we no longer have alot of major wars so people use games to take out their anger or whatever. Look in the old days people used to be excecutioner's, yet if they didn't have that as a job I bet they would have been thugs on the street.
I think most games are ok as long as it isn't taken seriously. Next thing they will try to ban is Laser Quest or Paintball because it encourages us to shoot people.
Anyway as for pain I do find it does take alot of pain away while on the computer, mostly due to your mind focusing on other things.
Wow, I wish this study came out before I let my kid play Arkham Asylum. Now he is dressing in purple and green, and wearing face makeup.
That's a bit more weird than jumping on a turtles back every time you see one. What is happening in games these days? :rolleyes:
I do enjoy slaying around 10 to 20 thousand enemies in a gaming session.
I have become quite the killer. But it doesn't mean I want to do it in the real world.(I have much higher goals there... We are talking about millions)
Some kids are just... Yeah. Putting most of the blame on the parents on that one.
And as for the OP... Thanks for stating the obvious?
I use to hop out into lanes of traffic to see if I could get to the other side. Unfortunately, I never did live near a river with crocs in it though, so couldn't try that one out.
mmmmmm violent peanut butter.
