Video games are not a waste of time. If you play high intensity video games like the ones that give you headaches because too many objects are moving in the same time on the screen and you can't understand and control sh!t... and you are losing all the f^cking time. Then those are the video games you should play. I know losing isn't fun. But those are the video games that create new and regenerate neural pathways in your brain that keep you and your brain younger.

(there are some studies about that sh!t.... dyor )

How good are those studies? How does it keep the brain younger surely it would make the brain more efficient and not younger?

Go f^ck a goat!

I will play some goat simulator later Cheesy

I want to be clear I am not disagreeing with you I think video games are good for you but I was wondering how good the studies are because I would love to shut up some of the critics when I say I play games.

they basically took a bunch of 60 and 70 year olds and put them to play 1 hour per day for a year... and their brains got 10-20+ years younger.

I'll go out on a limb and guess that the participants had next to zero brain activity to start with, making for easy gains Tongue

Were they all in the same Alzheimer's home? Just playing Devil's Advocate, as with any 'study' given so little info on the participants. Mental stimulation and stresses are good for you. Reading a good book, learning a new skill or hobby, developing a lakefront property; activity is what is important. Pointless games will do it too, but it is still time well wasted.
