my kids play video games.....they are not obese, they have friends and they are certainly not suffering from dementia. Again the media taking things to extremes

Funny how the older genaration allways has to get in everyones buisness. 

[BboyByungGyu]

lol...I as comp sci major thinking about game dev...i'll write this message is c++

if (addiction>21hours) { addicted=true; makeLiving=true; haveDecentLife=true;

}

else { addicted=false; makeLiving=false; haveDecentLife=false;

}

from non-child perspective...but oh well i guess i'll just stay addicted...

@andreacanadian Hardly.. Gaming is so serious because anybody can buy a console and it's easy to do and because no body thinks it's that bad it's worse because you will kill 2 hours a day and more, yes they blew it out of proportion a little but especially children, would you give crack to your kids?...probably not.

@kattastrophik Lots video games aren't exactly productive

[kattastrophik]

These fucking idiots make me sick. You could say the same thing for anyone who likes to do certain things. Why do they pick on gamers? They would never mention the guy who likes to work on cars all the time. Or the girl who likes to read constantly. What's the difference between staring at a screen or staring at a page?

[BrutalityEngaged]

How ironic CBS saying it brainwashes kids.

[theeviljester666]

also, when she says "they're saying that" who in the hell is "they", im addicted to games,

[theeviljester666]

this is as a bigger load of bulls**t as the statement that Oprah is popular

[zeitgeist925]

stupid blondie

[paraplegicgiraffe]

All you people commenting saying "ONE HOUR A DAY???" are idiots. And you're addicted to video games.

[McStanky11]

1 hour a day! bitch if you limit me to 1 hour a day the rest of my time will be spent plotting ways to kill you...
