The Effect Of Video Games On The Brain! What Do You Think?

[Mike S]

Yup ..... I do agree Jake that they can be distracting and will take away from ones normal way of life ...... and that is bad especially taking away from studies ..... but the violent behavior bit I don't buy ...... I have this theory that if you are a violent person you have no self control over your emotions and in many case don't want to or just use it as an excuse to do what you wanted to in the first place ...... I love to hear the lawyers claiming "but your honor ... my client was temporarily insane" ..... in other words he lost his temper and couldn't control his own actions ..... and did what he wanted to ..... again no discipline ...... hummmmmm ..... they teach you discipline in the service don't they Jake ...... :hystery: :hystery: :hystery: ...... or in your case in school ........ :hystery: :hystery: oh well better get off this subject before I show my old fashion up bringing ...... :bash: Oh FYI .... one of the guys that used to work from me or maybe I should say with me was an ol' Navy Senior Master Chief ...... we used to sit for hours at work at chew the fat while we waited for the next piece of equipment to break down..... pretty colorful guy ...... the BS would really flow ....... :nudie:

I retired as command master chief, pay grade E-9. I think it's equivalent to Master Guns (USMC) or Army battalionsergeant major. While working at a local casino, my co-workers kept calling me master chief. I politely remindedthem that I'm a civilian now and insist that I would be address as master-bater. Almost got written up by a femaleco-worker for inappropriate sexual comments. She was such a douche bag......Anyway, to some extend having prior computer skills like video games, work processing, spread sheets and graphicdesigns play an important factor of getting high paying technical jobs. For example, the US military relies heavily onautomation using keyboards, joy sticks and the ability to multi-task under heavy stress environment. Many hard corevideo gamers can fit that bill easily. Me, I'm still old school -- T squares for drafting and slide rules for math.

I like the effect video games have on the boys who take care of my yard. They rush around with long swords, (they call them camarines but I know them as bolos for haras haras) slashing at all the bushes and clumps of grass like they intend to find heal potions or treasure under each one.Anyone else play games like that?ps: The one they use is #2 in the pic below.

I don't worry about my SS Buddy Jake aka Mr. Chief Master-bater, because he changes his wiper blades often on his desk top computer display screen! Anyway, he's already brain dead from too many pitchers of ice cold Mojos! :hystery:https://www.google.c...iw=1166&bih=661

I'm not much into computer games! I'm mostly into downloading full length movies or TV series episodes from my favorite website: http://www.kat.ph/browse/ which has more than enough selections of whatever one is looking for!I use a free uTorrent bit torrent client downloader and a VLC player, which is also a free shareware program! Works great! Check it out!

When you expended your very last magazine, those bladed weapons above are perfect against360 degrees attack from hungry zombies. And then I'll use number 8 on myself while a femalezombie finally got a hold of my middle leg.....he, he.
