Playing video games helps mostly with mathematical intelligence.

It makes you less kind, social, and makes it harder for you to concentrate on only one thing.

My wife gave me the first Grand Turismo, Silent Hill and Oddworld: Abe's Odissey. Those were the days!

Yeah but I've had to swallow all Richard Gere's movies (if those things deserve that name).

Everyone's too old for Richard Gere movies ...

I didn't notice until now some had posted in this thread lately. I agree with stuzzicadenti. Video games, chess or whatever we're into that day, does help us to unwind. I love my family, but a small part of me does miss being a teen sometimes though, completing 200 hour games to 100% in a week kind of thing lol.

You're never too old. Just make sure it isn't the sort of kids game.

Minecraft, Player Unknowns Battlegrounds, Geometry Dash (some people will disagree), Uncharted 4: A Thief's End all seem fine to me. (Oh, and I know of some people older than me who still play Star Wars Battlefront, which is a Star Wars-based shooter game. It was my favourite shooter when I was younger.)

Actually I still play Star Wars Battlefront, just less than my other favourite shooters like PUBG.

*see my profile if you're not convinced

And heyyy, if superman or destroyer_mark is seeing this, (i don't remember who asked me about my playing Geometry Dash and questioning my age), you just need to know that I'm older than I am. My brain grew old faster than myself. As for Geometry Dash, go follow Riot/ GuitarHeroStyles/ KnobbelBoy on YouTube, goddamnit!

Playing video games has been shown to increase IQ

 

What study has suggested that? The same kind of studies that suggest that lazy people are more creative or that people with big butts are more intelligent?

Heh - I am 66 and still play video games - strictly retro (various systems before PS2) - mostly rpgs, strategy, strategy rpgs and puzzle games.   I tend to go in streaks - I will spend an afternoon or three playing and than not play for a week or so.
