interesting,.....
it increases your knowledge of the L337 language of monkies.
Reflexes... not so much casue in real life you dont really turn like you do in halo or any other FPS.
It could increase muscle strength in you hands casue you handling a controller the size of a rhinorerous.
Cheers

You should play tough rpg's with tough puzzles to solve. and you should solve it on your own. no asking help. I have clearly benefited from this. I became more independent and more logical.
Sorry I cannot give you scientific proof, but I am pretty sure this is what happened to me.
And besides... scientists don't even play games so they'll never truly know what we benefit from it. Only we ourselves can prove it. no one may believe us, but we know it is true. ^_^

Are you able to give an example of how games demonstrate leet? :nya:
The main thing that games do that is positive is expand our imaginations. Well, at least for me, anyway.

oooo it satisfies the desire of killing other ppl...just in an imaginary world

better reflexes and a greater imagination

Logic thinking skills and investigation skills. ---Zelda---

Quote by KLYLogic thinking skills and investigation skills. ---Zelda---

Yeah, some guy wrote a book on how video games were just as important as reading and playing ouside. One of his main topics was Zelda. I don't think it included shoot-em-ups though.

video games tauted me how to read.
I'm better at solving puzzles, and if someone breaks into my house I'll be able to relel him with my advanced Tetra Fire spell.

I'm just writing in regards to what was reported in my local newspaper weeks ago. They conducted studies on gamers, and they found that gamers tend to detect specific things in the surrounding faster than non-gamers.
Another different study concluded that gamers are 0.2 seconds faster than non-gamers.
So the prospect for gamers? The army. Hehehe..

That's what I've always said too. An no, there's no dash. ;)

hm ... something positive ... if you dont know what to do or you gotta wait hours for something to happen or so, games can be a big time-waster so you dont even notice how fast times flies by.
well but i think that it depends on the game i mean if you are playing stuff like ... i dunno counter-strike or quake3 (i bet nobody plays those games anymore ^_^' ) then the thing with the fast reaction and so on might be right ... or when you're playing starcraft or something else i bet you could start thinking more logical, thinking forward, planing your moves in everyday life ... but i dont think that games contribute that much to ones ability to do something or to personal habits or whatever. BUT i have to admit that games can make you understand the concept of 3d-objects and how to imagine an 3d-object on a 2d-surface and so on (people who had geomitry in math-class might have noticed that a lot of people can only see a bunch of lines where actually should be a cube or something). that's as much i can come up with.

A possitive side effect is that they help me relax when I'm having a bad day.... well.. unless I'm playing a horror game...

erm...well...mm...hmm....i...can't think of any good excuse, hehehe! all i know is that it's fun to play, lol!!!

I did get locked out of my house once and, had it not been for my "plan-ahead" in puzzle situations that I learned from Zelda, i would have been locked out for a whole hour longer.

Relieves me of my stress and thoughts of suicide :D
Its a really good 'escap' from reality.

good point kitizhi it releives ur stress lol but some games with tuff ass puzzles make u go nuts

more profits for me
