Just something that came across my mind about video game addiction.

When I was a kid I'd play with my Legos or action figure hours upon hours every day, and my parents were fine with it the whole time.
Sitting there. Not getting outside as much. Doing nothing productive.

When I was 10 I played to many video games according to my parents, hours upon hours a day.
Sitting there. Not getting outside as much. Doing nothing productive.

So why is it playing with action figures is better than video games, when you're basically doing the same thing in both situations?

Parents have trouble with logic, to put it that way.

Though I could see Legos being productive, adding on to imagination and building things, which is somewhat productive.

Because video games ruin your brain. No, seriously, they do.

Playing with action figures increases your creativity.

Either way, video games actually encouraged me to get into my hobby of woodworking ironically enough.

"Because video games are virtual and staring at them all day ruins your eyes."

This was true with CRT monitors/tvs, but now with LCD and LED technologies it is no longer valid.

(If you don't know what a CRT, LCD, or LED is just google it please)

@Tobi

Then how is it that quite a bit of the video game addicts in my class are some of the smartest? (Discounting me, because I'm only a little above the average in my class, which isn't too bad.)

I'm proof that video games don't make you lose brain cells. :) I have a lot of games, have been playing for a long time, and I still get top-notch grades. Please don't take this as bragging though.

And to all the activists out there: Video games don't harm people. At all. Because I just brought up a serious topic, no siggy here.

Puzzle games like Portal 2 are 'heathly' for your brain and it's actually hobby for our brains.

I've learned a significant amount more from video games than I have from toys such as Lego.

If I never touched a video game in my life I would be a completely different person. A much dumber person. I don't see how the, actions figures increase creativity argument works.

Video games are just as much as a hobby as any other form of entertainment.

The media just fails to realize all the good gaming actually does.

Yes. You dont receive any skills and become a total freak and noob. Lego toys with your creativity. Games make you less focused, and all you will want to do is sit there and slowly kill yourself.
