(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); To what extent do you think video games are bad or good for your physical and mental health?

In what ways can Call of Duty and other games be educational?

Well, Everything in this life has positive thing and negative thing, so

Playing too much will not effect you ,and its helpfully once you play, It will help you to write a stroy , etc.

BUT playing too much might kill you and you will lose your eyes.

I know for a fact that playing video games has both negative and positive effects on your physical health. It is good for your brain as you're constantly deciding on the best paths to take , etc. It's good exercise for it.

However, if you play a lot of games, it increases your risk of heart attacks or strokes by double, as scientists have found that just sitting still for hours on end is ridiculously bad for your heart. This sucks for me, as I sleep a lot, have a shit diet, work in a supermarket and play a lot of games......... So I'm CONSTANTLY sitting still :p

There are pros and cons to everything. I play video games a lot but still have a full-time job. The main thing is you need to keep active if you play video games a lot. It's not good for the body to sit still all the time.

I dont play regularly but 2 hours week is not enough either. Id say I might play 4 hours one day and not play for a few days and then play 1 hour. I love midnight club and GTA

Erm..How bad is 12-19 hours Fri-Sun? =D

dude thats horrible. You waking up play then sleep for 5 hours and repeat everyday

Erm I mean 12-19 EVERYDAY

Video games are awsome but I still have a life lol!

PROS OF VIDEO GAMING:
a) you're constantly using your mental capacity to asses the situation you're in,therefore employing brain power.this,in turn will have beneficial effects for the brain,keeping it in an "active" and not "dormant" state.:y:
b) tests prove that "videogamers" have a better hand-eye co-ordination,reflexes and a quicker thought process due to the fact that we have make split second decisions in-game.:y::whistle:
c) saves money..well,think about it.instead going out shopping buying stuff,you're at home gaming.yeah you pay the electricity and internet,but that's nothing compared to what some people spend their hard earned on.:y:
d) good for relieving tension..how u ask?..imagine,a guy has a stressed assed job,comes home,jumps on COD(or any other FPS) and starts blasting away.:y:
e) keeps you occupied and at home so your parents(this is for the ones still living at home) don't have to worry of your whereabouts(doin drugs or some shit):y:
f) online gaming is an escape from reality to a virtual world where there are no rules(apart from the games' code of conduct,copyrights bullshit).:y:
g) you're rewarded for bad behaviour..like blowing up buildings,smashing cars,killing people,killing animals,polluting the environment,nuking whole cities, burning everything in your path,decapitating any living thing that moves,bombing terrorists,doing drive-bys,did i mention blowing shit up?..but yeah i can go on forever lol.:y:
h) you are your own master in the virtual world.:y:

CONS OF VIDEO GAMING :
a) healthwise,it ain't looking too good for gamers..sitting down doing sweet fu*k all(except maybe twiddling your fingers) does no favours for your body and it's a good way to gain weight especially when munchies come into play.
b) eyestrain:gluk:..i think that pretty much says it all. fact is,staring into a computer or tv screen for prolonged periods(i mean like 5 or more hrs continously without breaks) puts a lot of stress on and fatigues the eyes.go out and get some fresh air for those who just nodded to the above lol.
c) your parents will nag the heck outta you for playing games instead of doing chores and shit around the house(yep,again,for those still living with their folks)
d) no life..speaks for itself really..some people are soooo consumed by the gaming world they rarely leave the house.and now u can do your shopping via the internet and get it delivered really hammers the last nail in the coffin so to speak.again,for those that just nodded to the above "yeah,that'll be me"..please go out and see the world..the grass is green,sky is blue blah blah blah..OK,depending on where u live,u may or may not see what i just mentioned lol..world is not perfect,what can I say?
e) breaking up marriages and relationships:bye:..now this folks,is serious shit.:scared: common sense should prevail..but if you start to see "cracks" in ur marriage/relationship due to ur gaming,get the heck offline and sort it out man!
f) brings out the worst in you :catfightcos' nobody is watching you hehe)..i mean c'mon everyone can agree to this..there are times where "someone" or "something" is pissing u off:dingding: so bad online or it ain't working as it should and you start cursing like there's no tomorrow..poor guy online's wondering.."what the fu*ks:wtf: wrong with that guy man? he's got issues!" lol..
g) no life..oh shit i mentioned that already! lol..

well,that's my take on videogaming..

hey hey! the PROS outweigh the CONS!:p
Woohoo!..back to gaming I go !:p
