Your first assumption that is in error is that its only about eye-hand cordination. You are definatly stuck in the 1980’s and need to upgrade!

The number one thing the DOD finds that is the main diference between video gamers and those military member that don’t play video games is that the players, no matter the eye-hand cordination skill level, are more able to recongnize multiple inputs of information and react to it in a timely manner. This is the skill set that quite frankly, DOD has found really can’t be taught.

There is no 40 hour block of instruction that can teach this, no text book written on it. There are plenty of research papers on this and the consenuse so far is that the best way to get such skill sets is to spend time playing games.

You need to read up on the unmanned STRYKER program and maybe you’ll see what I’m talking about, Dude.

One can pick either side, Drug Dealer, Terrorist, Russian – good guys or bad guys – “What’s the difference”. In the past shoot em ups clearly put you on the “right side”.

Alien games blur the difference even further. And where humans battle monsters, it is a common theme that we “go to far”, have superior weapons, etc.

Frequently (as in Halo) you are put in the role of “bringer of chaos”. Before you enter the game aliens are usually milling around “peacefully”. You never see the bodies of fallen comrades in the earlier phase of hostilities, or the abused indigenous inhabitants.

I’m just saying.

Now I have to play it and see if it is just another “liberal” views platform to watch out for. The cut scenes are of particular concern as sides justify their actions. Who are the “Freedom Fighters”.

The shoot em up part is clearly liberal in that you will liberally pour boxes of bullets into the “bad guys”. As it should be.

Brilliant!

Bwahahahaha! Good one.

I’ve learned my lesson from csdeven and will now devote every hour I would have wasted playing video games to a better cause: campaigning for Fred!

saint kansas on September 27, 2007 at 5:21 PM

I learned something, too. Crotchety is not an attractive trait.

OH, THAT’S RIGHT!!! That’s how life is in the video game world! Guess what oh great and powerful gnarly one? This is real life, not a video game.

Sorry, this is fascinating reading–but how is “this” real life? This is cyber-space where you can be anyone you choose. If a blog is considered “real life”, I’m not sure what real life really is. Really.

Now, back to the flaming! HA!

Thanks for helping me while away a little time…your a good sport…you should get out more (just kidding).

ha ha

The weather is starting to get nice over here though.

Dark Fox on September 27, 2007 at 4:10 PM

HaHa, that is funny…I thought I was the only one.

Thanks for helping me while away a little time…your a good sport…you should get out more (just kidding).

But now you’ve got me in trouble with Bryan. Have to spend the rest of the week kissing his…you know how he is. Those shut-ins get very irrational.

Bryan, have a way for you to make a million dollars…invent a “tanning monitor”. A tanning light built into the monitor, no one will ever know. You could look like a young George Hamilton, and still blog and stream, or BS as they say in the trade.

There, that should get me un-banned.

But the stereotype of a gamer who for 12 hours straight is trying to save the universe is a pretty funny image.

right2bright on September 27, 2007 at 3:19 PM

Yes, it is funny. I’ve known several of those types and don’t see them anymore and have no idea if they’ve ever made it outside.

I get that and am not talking about those comments. I’m not even upset, more annoyed. There’s just no reason to call everyone who’s ever played a video game a shut in, and that’s all I was referring to.

Relax you guys, it’s a little tongue in cheek teasing.

csdeven on September 27, 2007 at 3:09 PM

You’re full of it, really.

You follow that comment with…

Wasting away in your PJ’s in the house playing with imaginary characters is NOT equal to blogging on HA where we get to talk to real people and real this in the real world.

csdeven on September 27, 2007 at 3:20 PM

The characters on an online role playing game are exactly as real as the people right here on Hot Air.

And for both of you, I didn’t “pull the Byran card.” I was simply explaining one example of the person csdeven was calling a shut in.

Again, the teasing I get and am not commenting on. It’s the rabid whining about “adult responsibilities” and “adults who never grew up” nonsense that I’m arguing with.

right2bright, I’ve agreed on several occasions that these are just games. You’re clearly reading some anger into my posts that just isn’t there.

Bryan on September 27, 2007 at 3:25 PM

NOOOOooooooooo! I am sorry, you look great, like a real stud, whoops, like a major league playa. I was talking about Bryan Greenberg.

csdeven on September 27, 2007 at 3:15 PM

cds gets it, he has been on the receiving end of this a couple of times.
He will acknowledge, this is a serious flaw in my character.

right2bright on September 27, 2007 at 2:19 PM

You’re banned!!!!!!!!

Gee, you must be feeling taxed right about now.

ScottMcC on September 27, 2007 at 3:02 PM

That’s what I am talking about, a little levity…it was a joke wasn’t it?…you little stud.

Wasting away in your PJ’s in the house playing with imaginary characters is NOT equal to blogging on HA where we get to talk to real people and real this in the real world.

Esthier on September 27, 2007 at 2:50 PM

Lighten up, have some fun. Let’s see you pulled out the Bryan card, and I made fun of that. I didn’t see Bryan jumping up and down.
We have a ton of serious issues we deal with on HA, this is not one of them.
You guys are way to serious about this, I am just sitting here doing some work and making foolish posts, and you are getting all upset.

Relax, it is funny, that you take it so serious. Everyone has their own past time. Some walk around a green lawn and hit a little white ball into a hole several hundred yards away…as if. Some waste time by catching a fish, and then releasing it…that makes sense. Some waste time posting on HA, others aren’t wasting time, but say some really interesting things. This post is not for them. Some people drink beer and try to sing, others just drink beer. All of them are a waste of time for someone who does not partake in the activity. But each one is valid to the individual. I happen to play tennis, a lot of tennis, wearing shorts at my age, chasing a ball for a couple of hours every day is pretty funny looking…and a waste of time (and money) for some who do not have those couple of hours a day to waste on a court.
A great way to relax is getting in front of the computer and play games (I don’t, so I make fun of it), my kids laugh at me trying to become the next Federer, and they do a pretty funny imitation of me on the court.
But the stereotype of a gamer who for 12 hours straight is trying to save the universe is a pretty funny image. White, pasty faced, eating french fries with their mouth open, drinking a large coke from McD’s, unshaven, blogging, streaming…whoops back to Bryan again.
C’mon, defending gamers, like most of you have, is pretty darn funny. At least it was amusing to me, and I am all alone in a basement…is it light yet? What day is it?

Relax, this is a fun post…Halo 3 is just a game…or is it?
