Video Games Linked To Reckless Driving

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the causation-tag-here-we-come dept.

An anonymous reader writes "'A new study suggests video games that involve reckless driving may play out in real life. Researchers say their data should not be taken lightly since car accidents are the number one cause of death for teenagers.' Just a case of video games being used as a convenient scapegoat, or could there be some truth to this?"

    I think it comes more from male tendencies to show off, flaunt power, and general aggressiveness that is built into us. Hell, that's generally why we LOVE fast and powerful cars, and they actually mean something to us more than they do with women, in general.

    I pity you and your shallow life.
