>> Editorial > Video Gaming Is Not Bad for You
Video Gaming Is Not Bad for You - September 17th 2003
We're not rude antisocial m*therf**kers.
Random Perspective Editor Ben Dickson Playing Videogames

As I sit here, ready to write August’s editorial, I find myself halfway through September just having confronted a news report that suggests Britain is becoming a nation of videogame addicts.

Of course, this is probably the case, however it is immediately followed up with those old fashioned people who insist all this time playing Quake and Solitaire must be bad for your heath.

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaasswwwwdddddddddwdwdw w w w 5 sssssdddwwwww w w w 3

I’m not exactly sure where these people get their facts from, but those suggestions of lack of concretion or an inability to interface with other coherently humans are frankly complete crap.

To be honest, if I’m ever in the same room as one of them, with a double barrelled shotgun and a Quad Damage power up – I show them who has trouble differentiating between fact and reality. Of course, they might claim that they have some poncey ‘real’ shotgun license so could kick my backside in a showdown – but I’ve got news for them: I’ve mastered bullet time – they’d be dead before they even had time to reach for trigger.

The police might come after me, but I’ve evaded them hundreds of times before.

My vision after 16 hours of Deus Ex.
My vision is fine.

And if nothing else will get the message through to these people that videogaming is useful – Neo has shown us that one day mankind’s fate might rest in our RSI infected hands.
