<< Children who become addicted to computer games may actually be more intelligent than the average and go on to university and higher-ranking jobs, according to a Home Office research review published yesterday. >>






<< In fact, one survey had found that heavy game use had a calming effect on the grounds that it provided &quot;an outlet for aggression and the open expression of competition.&quot; >>



just waiting on it all to pay off now...

Cool... finally, some people admit that computer games are not as negative as they think.

I just hope that these shootings don't get blamed on TV/Video game/whatever violence. I think that the nation needs to realize there is a bigger problem than caused just by violent media. It's old and repetitive yes, but.. There are many more people that play violent games and don't lash out than those who do.
