Video Games and their effect on you.

Hayabusa · Post by **Hayabusa** » Tue Mar 28, 2006 4:44 am

First off, after being absent for quite some time from the comunity and these forums I was sad, I was like "WHERE'S Z2" - I quickly messaged Papabear and the good ol' man gave me the Link- So I'm still glad it's still up and running. Maybe sometime soon I can upload my game and finish the few boards that I started....a year maybe 2 years ago? Man.

ANYWAY. -

I need all of your help. For school I have to do this paper on Cause and Effect.

I had no idea WHAT to do this paper on. Then shortly after, I found out someone was doing videogames as a topic, but of course, it was in the negative way of, It makes you kill people.

SO! I was thus inspired to write mine on the POSITIVE effects of videogames and how it's inpacted not only mine, but the mind's of many alike.

So I would like to use some quotes from some people that would agree Video games have had a positive effect on their life. So tell me what videogames has done for you.

Uh they helped me not kill myself.

Also if that music on your myspace is truly yours then you are damned good.

video games entertain me in a way no movie, book, or television show ever could. they are an art form in their own respect (especially if you eliminate the money aspect and take a look at the freeware scene.)

I can think of a few things that make me want to kill people, and one of them is certainly not videogames. If anything they keep me from doing it.

also they bring loonies to a place like this. You've already eliminated about 99% of normal people by having a fan site based on a game that uses text-mode graphics. It's no wonder we're furries/nerds/dutch/tyrannous/etc...

I play dancing games like DDR and ITG frequently and as a result am in good shape. With those games, the more you play the more stamina and muscle you build.

Also, I personally know someone who lost almost 100 pounds playing DDR.

Going outside does this too
