Ok, let's see...
Computer gaming:
- bad for your back
- bad for your eyes
- bad for your neck
- bad for your mouse arm
- bad for your overall physical stamina (except for DaveV!)
- bad for your relationship
- bad for your economy (?)
Are we addicts, or what?!

Good for your hand-eye coordination.
I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

who cares about hand-eye coordination? You'd think that is some mandatory job skill in order to survive in modern society.
I think that's a ****ty reason to play video games. A better reason to play them is to escape reality.Comment

Escapism is a good reason! In combination with the quest for that "sense of wonder"...Originally posted by Dissident

I think the key ingredients that got me hooked to gaming in 1980 were:
1.Fun
2.Educational/(sharpens the mind)
3.Interactive
4.You could make them yourself
Are gamers geeks(ref pathetic lives)? well i certainly know a few that fit that sterotype, but its not an exclusive requirement imho.
Balance is probably a good thing to aim for, somehow i managed to fit in a social life around my heavy gaming habits, but i did loose a girlfriend once - so gaming is not an easy ship to sail in
I find the exercise of the mind the most useful thing that games have brought to me, its a good way to simulate and solve problems.
On the physical side they definately are a bad thing so you need to compensate for this by making sure you give yourself time to do something active.'The very basis of the liberal idea – the belief of individual freedom is what causes the chaos' - William Kristol, son of the founder of neo-conservitivism, talking about neo-con ideology and its agenda for you.info here. prove me wrong.

Trebizond from EU2. Or actually from a SHWI what if based on EU2, one of the things that really got me interested in that game.Originally posted by Carolus Rex
