[Supreme Warrior]

I would like everyone's opinion on this Article as a Family member showed it to me trying to prove a point,

Family been thinking you've been playng too many fightan games?

So wait, the test was conducted on people with low exposure to violent video games prior to the test? How did they discount that the changes weren't due to exposure to a new media?

Edit:I should really finishing reading things.

That Test is regarding to First Person Shooters Nem, nothing in there about STRATEGIC FIGHTING games.

Dude, I've played Doom at 6. I've played SiN at 8. I've played Soldier Of Fortune at 10. So far I haven't been that violent, and haven't been out killing people. Of course, there has been references to punching. But the though of killing someone never crossed my mind and won't happen even now.

I take it you didn't actually read the article, nothing was said regarding going postal.

Ooh, ooh, is this where I point out that all activities alter brain function in some way?

I think it is.

Unless that person you're talking to is a strict vegan that's never set foot in a fast food joint or so much as looked at a soda, they're being a tad hypocritical here.

that study means nothing. they had such a short experiment period, didn't control anything else but video game playing (meaning the lifestyles of the males before the study weren't taken into consideration), there wasn't anything said on the division of the groups, on whether it was all younger/older people in one group.

It's such a poorly designed study that there's no way they can make any conclusions on whether violent video games actually made a difference. Until they have a better study, I'm saying video games have no bearing on brain function.

Still?

I have nothing of worth to add. Eventually all the extremists will be dead and anyone else stupid enough to do such studies will be too imbred to function. The End.

You know I thought about that myself, I'm not entire sure what the study is trying to prove though. That doing things alters brain functions?
