Video Gaming Myths

[xdgt]

Bullets don't kill people, its the lack of oxygen to the brain that kills people... incidently a bullet would damage the blood system impairing its ability to deliver oxygen to the brain...

Aw man. I was hoping to be the first the put "Pressing A DOES NOT Increase the chance of catching a pokemon". Different kind of myth.

Probably anything from that religious gaming site, though I'm pretty sure it's a joke. Pastor Skeet? It actually had me going for a bit.

Off course it doesn't help... jeez... you've got to press A, B and the left arrow. Man

(if it wasn't obvious here comes: HEAVY SARCASM)

OT: Gaming will make you a stupid and weak little boy who knows nothing else. My mom knows how to put it

Videogames will cause you to never get laid... Wait aminit.

On the other hand, young boys jump for joy on the vaccine for cooties

"Spending all of your time sitting at the computer eating food will make you unhealthy."

Coincidentally they were right. A sense of moderation has allowed me to lose that weight and attain a state of healthiness.

Cousin: "Now that we're alone, death to America, right?"
Muslim: "That is lie. I have no intention of harming America."
Cousin: "We'll check on that in the Corona."

(Cookie to the one who gets the reference)

You can't slip a Simpsons reference by me that easily.

On topic: Um... nothing that hasn't been mentioned already. Games are responsible for violence, all that stuff.

Pong was not the first ever video game.

My parents said it was "The way of the new generation", and supported me as i took my first wobbling steps up to where i am now. That sounded way too theatrical.

Meh, i really don't believe that video games affect kids,
after all, if they did pac-man would have made us sit in dark rooms all day, listening to repetitive music and popping pills......

OH SH--....

Well I have heard several from my own parents, even being old enough to do what I want I normally hear things like:

"Videogames are making you antisocial" (yeah right, I have a girlfriend and several non - internet friends)
"Videogames are making you dumb" (I am a freaking professor, dammit, I teach technology)
"You are wasting your time" (It is my time, and in fact videogames have teach me several things, for example by presenting me problems to solve)
"Stop playing all the time" (at best on a week I play 5-7 hours)
"Don't you feel bad for killing those guys on the screen" -side note: this was said to me while playing ratchet on my own house by my father - (They are just pixels, I am not the one seeing each WWII movie ever made or boxing matchs one after the other)

the list can go on.

Biggest Myth: Your good at this game, So your a hacker.


This is the one truth of gaming.

 

[BlindTom]

you have to burn the rope

 

[Nerexor]

The computer/console can cheat.

All those times petulant gamers have sworn up and down that the computer is cheating and thus preventing them from their rightful victory. I know I've done it...

Apparantly, Video games are the reason that I dislike most the people I meet >.>
I think it's because the majority of people I meet are Stupid Jerks ._.

You are all wrong. It is B+down.
On a side note, my mom told me when I was little that the Gameboy was evil. Straight up evil, seriously. Before I knew what a Gameboy was, I knew that it was infested by demons or something. Actually, that would be pretty awesome.

It is quicker to fire your AWP normally than to fire>switch to deag>switch to AWP.
