I didn't intend to say anything else on this forum thereafter, but just leave it as an aside.
However, I felt the need to reply to some of the weird responses I got rather than let them go.
The aggressive and irrational responses here do suggest the idea that the brain is modified by gaming is correct.
I don't belong to any religion or cult, and always start out from a sceptical position with anything new I come across.
I've been watching this type of research for a while, and there is now enough of it to give it some credence, and to sound a note of warning to those at risk..
(Even the W.H.O. is urging caution - as I pointed out when you called it "dribbe" and "fake stats".)
Sorry if I offended you Psyber. I did try and take a humorous response, but I see now you are very serious about this issue.
As I am a huge fan of videw games, can you recommend something I would enjoy? I am currently playing minecraft, and even though it is one of the least violent games I have ever played, it's community is full of the weirdest gamers I have ever encountered. I am considering buying Battlefield 3 on the xbox, and although it is violent, to win online does involve a considerable amount of teamwork and strategy (using your brain).
P. S. Don't suggest reading a book or sport as I have just finished 2 books and play golf and go fishing as often as my working life allows.
Do it, i am getting it for xmas and cant wait, i play at my mates place all the time and there is heaps of strategy and using your brain involved in the game! i love it...
