Originally posted by exstasie Not necessarily. I think it all depends. Alot of video games out there require a lot of problem solving and more than simple move from point A -> point B. There are a lot of simulated Strategy games which require a lot of thinking and planning. Think of games like Command & Conquer, or World or Warcraft. Even games like The Sims and Sim City require a lot of creativity. I don't think you can make a state saying reading is far better than playing video games.

I'll admit, you're right, there are many games that require critical thinking, problem solving etc., but it's a game like Halo 3, a first person shooter, that I don't think requires very much thinking COMPARED. You go around shooting people, in different levels, and obviously you require skill, but there's not much to it. You see a guy, you hide, you try to shoot him before he shoots you.

Yes, i'll agree that a lot of FPS like Halo don't require that much skill. There are a lot of games that are just for fun (like certain books) and others that require a lot more knowledge and skill.

If you want, you can make quite skillful, espcially like Multiplayer. I've seen people who play the shooting stealth games like they are literally in the army. Using real strategies that they learned in combad and talk in code and everything. It's actually quite entertaining lol.

I had a buddy who use to compete in Counter-Strike tournaments (coincidently he use to be in the army too lol) and i've seen some videos of how intense his team was and how organized everything was. It is definitely something you need to see.

I'm sure there might be something on YouTube. But watching people who were actually in the army apply their skills and knowledge to video games is something to see!



PS. There was a study that was done which showed that kids who played lots of shooting games had better accuracy (shooting) and problem solving skills than kids who didn't haha. I should try and find that study.

no actually I was trying to be polite, but on second thought, I figured no, it's pretty much just stupid.

but i'm glad you read my post and admitted to your stupidity, after the fact.

but...you're still wrong. cause the same argument can be made about any text, seeing as how in literature we have the option of reading a peice of writing that is very rich with depth/complexity, while on the other hand, we can also easily read very dull/plain writings that do not take any effort to analyze.

speaking of, which do you play?

The ONLY one i ever really got involved with is GUILD WARS... have the 2nd expansion pack.

But about March 2006 i just lost time to play and the interest faded. but i still get emails from teh software company and i LOVE the direction its going w/ all these new expansaion packs. The original and new guild classes ROCK MAJOR ass... and i love the worlds and interaction... and it doesnt appear as semi "cutsie" as Lineage II looks like it may get from some images ive seen (though never played, so i could be totally wrong here)

The main reason i got Guild Wars over Lineage was the fact that it was no online monthly fee to play!!


What you think of Guild Wars?

Im actually surprised i never bought WOW... bc all thru highschool, and even into uni after starcraft was out, i played Warcraft II massively...

prolly bc i never got into warcraft III is the reason i never got into world or warcraft... things got to fancy for me for a single player strategy game i guess...



but back to guild wars! DAMN to i ever wanna take it up again! I need to find time, but never seem too... love checking their website for characters and new environment images!! so coool! love it.

Making fun of the phrase "brain power" when you don't know what it means, THAT'S stupidity.

I'll let you have this one, this time. I did say book in a previous post, which could be a very complex book, or a very dull one. I didn't specify, so I'll give you this one.

Well the first mmo i played was WoW so i pretty muched loved anything that had graphics like it. I played Guild Wars for a little bit, also played DAoC (Dark Ages of Camelot), City of Villains, Ragnarok, EverQuest II, and a couple of other free ones i found here and there.
Stopped playing WoW a little bit ago though, not long after i got the expansion, just wasn't that much into it anymore. Now i'm just waiting for Warhammer Online I'll definitely be lining up at the store to get that one lol It's in beta now so i'm hoping soon it'll be available, probably Q2 of next year Very excited!

Back to GW though, i thought it was an okay game, great that it was free, and i liked the fact that you had a lot of options to customize the looks of the characters (not as much as CoV though). My only problem with it was that after WoW the leveling in GW seemed sooooooo slow lol. And because i was still playing WoW at the time i kinda gave up on GW. I wouldn't mind trying it again but there's so many expansions now that i really can't be bothered... I might just though if i get really bored lol

Warhammer online... oh god. I better stay away from that.

Big Warhammer fan here...

Considering I found you in a ditch once, and everyone around me told me that was normal of you to be like that after a party, I think I can come to the conclusion that you may of eaten a few too many paint chips as a young boy.

lol a ditch huh? There's ditches in Toronto? lol.

Yes though, I did pass out 3 years ago, at a TA bbq, everyone knows that lol, big deal. When you're younger you some times drink more than you should. It was 3 years ago! lol. You act as if I am the only one that has ever done that when they were young. Many people on here have done their fair share of stupid things when drunk, and pictures have been posted of it lol. In your mind, anyone who has ever gotten drunk and done something they shouldn't have, is stupid. That's about 90% of people on TA btw, pictures posted to prove it lol.

On another note, did I ever do something for you to start hating on me? haha. Did I not say hi to you once some where, and now your all mad? lol. Just because your 35 (or at least look it in the picture thread on TA), doesn't mean you have to hate me Rodrico. It will be okay. We will all pull together and find you a nice girl to go out and do something with, and then you can stop being such an ass lol. Well.....maybe we will, if we give her some money
