Do you think playing video games affect your outlook on real life? I'm pretty sure that my addiction to need 4 speed most wanted has made me a more aggressive driver and also the reason i've got 2 speeding tickets in the last 5 months

I just saw a story on CNN that said surgeons who play an average of 3 hours of video games a week have better hand eye coordination and 43% fewer mistakes than the ones that don't. I think that counts for something. But then again we have an XBox 360, PS2 and GameCube in my house, so I'm biased. LOL

Ur question reminds me of the Spykids movie series.have u watched the part 3 ?There if u remember then the video game comes to the real world and the characters of the game are invisible unless u put on a glass to see them.I know perhaps this wont happen but imagination has no boundaries.If u have watched Matrix then it deals with a smilar type of topic.Here.artificial intelligence comes into play and the robos take hold of the earth. Yes ! these are all imaginations but I do think that video games drag u away from reality and attract the player into the virtual world.Way back I was too addicted to video games and wanted day and night to win games.I wud sit hours along in front of the computer.But soo i realized i am going away from the real world and becoming enclosed in the virtual world of games.Now I do play but just like refreshment not like full time job
