Video Games Found To Decrease Brain Activity

Richard C writes "A Japanese researcher, Akio Mori, from the Nihon University's College of Humanities and Sciences, claims to have found a link between the playing of video games and the balance of activity in the brain. It is also claimed that this effect can cause behavioural changes, such as lack of concentration, difficulty with social association, and short temper. These effects are also thought to be, to some extent, nonreversible." I was gonna say something witty and insightful here, but I can't think of anything. At least I can't make a windows machine stable enough to run Neverwinter or my brain would be toast.

It means Taco is one of those idiots that is still running a P133 and a Trident 512k video card and expecting to run the latest games. Exactly the kind of Linux-using-wants-everything-for-free loser that causes game companies to run from the platform like the plague.

What next?

What next? Eat lots of crappy fast food and get fat? Pig out on sugar and become diabetic? Watch too much TV and get stoopid?

The government should do something to stop this!
