Focusing mainly on Valve's Portal. For our final Psychology project we decided to talk about video game addiction and emotional attachment.

  • That thing about the couple forgetting to take care of their baby for a virtual baby was from an episode of Law and Order, not a real life example.

  • @VintageBalderdash I did not personally do the research on the videogame deaths, but my partner got them all from the same website and she certainly knows the difference from real life cases and plotlines from television shows, so either the website cited the information wrong or the Law and Order episode was based from actual occurances.

  • Part 3. I really wish I'd done this project with you. I could totally help with the character attachment. I play a lot more video games than you (obviously). I'm not sure about Makayla, but seeing as she only talks about Portal and L4D, I probably do.

    So much Zelda and Kingdom Hearts could have gone into this project but sadly. Just sadly.

  • @sabrielfan Mother of god... a three part comment...

    Yeah we had a few bumps with the questions, like sometimes I was like "seriously?"

    Makayla games quite a bit, we just didn't know how to fit it all in because it was supposed to be a teaching thing instead of a personal expeience thing, we kinda toed the line. God damn, this project would've been infinitely better if you had done it with us.

  • "Hang out with people; be a person." LAAAAAME

    I know how to socialise because of video games! And I learn random shit! "Do you know why the sun sets red?" the teacher asks. *starts to cry* "Yeeheheheeeesssss"

    "Confusing reality with video games" theory. Fucking ridiculous. People who believe that are stupid. I mean, I pray to the Goddesses from Legend of Zelda but I know the difference between that and reality. No, it's not a good question. It's uninformed.

  • Madden is an emotionally evoking game?

    Also Kingdom Hearts (which I guess falls under "Final Fantasy"). Holy shit I cry when I have to kill a character or when one of them dies.

    Bioshock: Fear. Pure, unadulterated terror.

    Final Fantasy X? Wow. Most people hate that game. I don't, but it sure is awesome.

    Left 4 Dead. Amazing.

    If Ethan gains 300 pounds because of Skyrim I'll LOL all over the place.

    I like how the only FF character you know is Cloud. Hahaha.

    I'm never going to Video Game rehab.
