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.
(never actually done LSD)

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.

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 -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.
