Jane McGonigal: Truths & Myths in Gaming

Yeah video games do get a lot of crap.
The worst people are the kids that played hundreds or thousands of hours over a few years, then stop for a year and go on about how they now "have a life" and act all high and mighty.
Sure video games have their down sides but so does everything, and most things are fine in moderation. Playing sa-mp in 2007-2008 was a unique social experience that was a ton of fun and you'd better believe we worked on skills such as cooperation. I'm glad there are people out there defending it.

A downside of video gaming is that it can get addictive, as mentioned in the video. It was one of the reasons I had to re-do a year in high school.
When that happens, you do start thinking. It's not however like we haven't learned anything because of all these experiences.
I've personally learned a lot because I was right here. Perhaps too many hours were spent, but still, it was worth it for several reasons.
