If you are fat enough you could do anything and lose weight, making it "good for you".

I'm glad the article examined all of the negatives that video games can bring onto a person and then came to the conclusion that video games are good for you.. oh.. wait.. nevermind.


Hey guys, smoking makes you 4% less likely to catch the flu! Smoking is good for you!


I just pulled that statistic out of my ass, but you get the point.

In 1996 smoking was as good as or better for you than a glass of milk according to the tobacco companies.

Fact is, video games do help people excel in certain ways. I've always noticed after playing DDR in a fast mode everything else after that seemed really slow.

If you've played DDR at Extream mode and play it through with perfect score, you'd probably be tired as hell and sweating hard even if you're really athletic. Pretty darn serious bout' that.

Hell, I'm athletic and I still start breathing hard after doing a few rounds on standard.

I've noticed that after taking LSD you can see spirits and talk to them. We should all be high on LSD then, talk to those spirits.

Well said. The arctile doesn't serve the purpose of displaying why video games are good very well at all. It simply brings up a few things that can be construed as good about video games.

Terrible comparison.

You'll die faster from smoking. It's not like you're going to die faster if you play video games if you work out.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:
[2026-6-23. : 3:29 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
