Video games not bad for you after all

I thought I'd share an article that shows them thar video-games us young whipper snappers play do not rot our minds.  They may even be helpful mentally.  The study that was performed with Tetris, though I'd imagine chess would have a similar (if not bigger) benefit.

Videogames themselves are not the problem, problem is the education you got in your house. 

 

I have played a lot of violent games but I am not killing or fighting anyone, I have played Need for Speed but I am not driving like a fucking idiot in real life, I have played GTA and I have no desire at all to join some cholo gang and look for trouble. 

 

Unfortunately some people can not distinguish reality from fiction, there have been many stories of people doing actual shooting after playing certain games.

Video games maybe improve hand eye coordination. Maybe. They have very little if any real benefits after that except keeping you entertained

they might not be bad for you, but considering how short your life is, it's time wasted with nothing to show for it.

The same could be said for most pastimes.
