I love video games, and I have a 4.0 GPA! Video games do not rot your mind! If you have proof, post it here!

I play video games all the time yet I'm in four AP classes, I got a 100 on my English Regents last year and my average is a 91. Heck, maybe vidoe games helped. They don't make me prone to violence either.

Some video games are surprisingly educational:

Growing up with SNES RPGs really developed my english skills.

I think I've learned a few new words from Mario games... but I can't remember which ones.

"Do you got a mullet goin’ on?"

Wow, this topic is like, obvious city.

Heheh!

My grade point average has actually gone down since I stopped playing video games. I don't think that either is a cause of the other, though.

Playing video games probably taught me that it's more comfortable to sit on a nice couch than on the hard floor for extended periods of time.

I learned my left from my right when playing video games.

I did learn other things, but I'm too lazy to list them.

Yeah! If it weren't for M&L, I wouldn't know how to spell simultaneously! RPGs really help you learn new words!
Vidgmchtr: Me too. Thank the L and R buttons. What the teachers always said about how to remember never helped.

And if it wasn't for video games, most of us wouldn't be here!! XD

I think I also learned my left and right from playing video games.

I don't remember how the teacher teaches you the difference.  I'm guessing she'd tell you the hand you write with is right, so just rembmer the writing hand is right and the other is left.  But I'm left-handed, so she'd say the opposite.

Bird Person: Actually, I learned my left from my right when playing Super Mario 64. Level 6, Hazy Maze Cave. It started with a fork in the road. The left being a pit you had to jump across, the right being the path to the Red Coin room.

Not from the shoulder buttons.

Well, sure. But I learned with the SNES's L and Rs.
I think video games might rot your mind... If it's stupid violent games like Grand Theft Auto and Halo. But it's just different with games like tetris and Mario RPGs.

Well... Unlike GTA, Halo's not all violence. It's SCI-FI violence! The good kind...Yeah.

What makes it SCI-FI?  A lot of games and movies have aliens and advanced technology in them that I would not consider science fiction.  I'm a big science fiction fan and consider something to be Sci-Fi only if science is integral to the story.  The Cold Equations is a good example.  Star Wars is more of a western/space opera to me.  I'm a purest who doesn't like most fantasy novels, but I like satire and distopian fiction.  I like alot of the early speculative fiction that was in my opinion mislabled as science fiction.


Disclaimer: I've never play Halo or any other Xbox game.

X Box must die. Most of the freakin' games are rated M. Which reminds me... a while ago, someone had an awesome sig like this:
Mom: What was that loud sound, son?
Me: Uh, nothing mom! *Continues to smash X Box*
