What Videogames Really Teach Kids, part 1

Politicians are calling videogames "murder simulators" and say they should be outlawed. So I made a video to demonstrate why they are totally mistaken. The second part is located here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvEv_s-1NcM

Great video. But please try to purchase a better camera so we can see and hear you better.

@Fredy1718 This is an extremely old video. The majority of videos on this channel are of much higher quality.

I obviously agree and think this is a great video, but the audio is very low quality ._.

@Githian It's a very old video, made with a crappy webcam. Check my newer ones out ^^

This video is notttt trueeeee. Why would I want to spend so much time looking at a screen, doing these fake things in these fake games instead of having a real life...? These "pluses" like building hand-eve coordination... well it's more like thumb-controller coordination, which will really help with things like... texting....? And last time I checked, hand eye coordination involves actually seeing that which is being manipulated by the hand, instead of memorizing controls.

@0978raissa There are scientific studies backing up my statements. Some of them are cited in the book mentioned in this video.

Fuck people who say that Video Games teach kids to be violent that's stupid and unlikey

I totally agree with you about videogames. My dad says that I waste brain cells playing videogames but I've realized that I have better hand-eye coordination than he does and I'm better at math than him too. I tried telling him that videogame actually get you to think and use strategy.

you should redo this video if havn't already i love sending this to family and friends. but they end up complaining about quality more than actually listening to what you have to say lol

@sheehangrant77 FFVII is overrated, Sure its an amazing game, but it is not the best, nor is it the most beautiful.

FFVI > FFVII In Story, Characters, Depth and Villains.

[SavageBezerkEclipse]

Uhm, I disagree with your math theory, as I Suck at math, hardcore, yet Im able to play games just fine...

[sheehangrant77]

dont blame the game for the choices the individual chooses to act the game meerly offers the choice the person makes the decision.
