Spent: 9 June 2005 15:14 Recently changed: 9 June 2005 15:21 AMSTERDAM - computers peel, also violent, a healthy exhaust pipe flap form for boys and men. Until that conclusion comes researcher J. Jansz of the University of Amsterdam in a theoretical explanation for the popularity of games. The investigation appeared end this year in the wetenschapelijk periodical Communication Theory.

Especially competition, challenge and derivation name (young) men as the attractive elements from the videospel. Games can lead till positive emotions as plezier and in spite of, but also till negative experiences as fear, horror and rage. Yet its negative feelings no reason to stop, establishes Jansz.

The confrontation with various experiences helps boys and young men by the forming of an own personality, according to the researcher.

He also said that games are the cause of violence, which is partly correct, but not fully correct. <_<

So true you all ready need to have a sick mind.
And the game will give the guidelines what or how to do it.

Old stuff but extremely important!
So stop saying it’s the games fault. GOOD DAMIT!

I read that article in the newspaper yesterday I think it's real funny after reading all those articles saying that games make us voilent GODDAMMIT WE'RE NOT VOILENT AND IF THOSE SO CALLED SCIENTISTS THINK OTHERWISE THEN I'M GONNA OPEN UP A CAN OF WHOOPASS

oh and don't forget, GTA is not a voilent game, once one of the developpers said (I don't know exactly who, not even if it was some pr guy or a developper or whatever) to the question "why is there so much violence in your games?" "we don't put the violence in the game, we give the player the possibility to NOT use violence to reach his goal, it's all up to the gamer" or something like that, he said it better

yep gaming is healthy
