Right off the assembly line
gaming has both pros & cons... but as a avg. game user(not hardcore), its fine...good for life.
ppl who hate gaming on pc or console are either old or dont know abt gaming or confused !!!

Gaming is good! Don't take any babble from any fool who has never even tried to know the abc of gaming from a country where people are obsessed with Cricket(not the digital version). Heck, my friends even laugh at me for watching the Olympics... or Hockey... or Football(the actual sports)!

And Gaming is certainly not childish, Most games are rated T or higher! And I havent ever seen a child play computer games. They'd rather go for physical sport like Hide-n-seek or plain troublemaking!

Long live gamers!
@Plasma_Snake,Offtopic:dude, you'd better change that Indidiot thingy before Political parties/ activists nail you down and slay you :D.

Nicely said.

I agree, cricket should be banned. I hate that game from the core. Digital and physical both :mad:. waste of time.

Game Development = Childish ???

LOL... that's a good joke. There are games which takes years together to code, design & debug etc...

Playing games = Childish ??

Kinda, but not really. It requires ur talent to complete few games.

Okay if we have too....we can (but should not) call gaming childesh. But Please please...we cannot call game development childesh. Its quite high level/advanced programming. Lets not sin here.

In the zone
If a person has mastered game development or knows how to do code games then there is no software in the world that it can code.

I started play keen 3d, Roadrash and yes GTA I a new concept evolved in the gaming..:rolleyes:. Since then i love to play games and eventhough my job sux i wont care about that and i continue playing....

A Note : Even my brother who is 22 placed in an MNC will spend more than 12hrs:confused: in playing games like FarCry, Crysis,GRAW II,COD etc..

HAPPY TO BE A GAMER... At the same time gamers have better aptitude ability than non-gamers...:D. Just note that.. its awesome........

AFAIK gaming also helps humans a lot.

It fastens and trains our reflexes.
Improves concentration.
Improves hand-eye-coordination.
Improves vocabulary and grammar (I dont mean the F and S words :) ).
Some games improve our GK too.
Some games are termed as "simulaters" which really help us learn stuff like vehicles, etc.



I think this are the main plus points of gaming. Gaming is not childish and those who think it is must die.

^^+1. I've read these in various magazines. I've also read somewhere(digit or SKOAR!) that games improve the eyesight too. And no, not Tetris kinda games, but games with realistic graphics(Dad still won't get me an alienware;)). I've also read somewhere that the Japanese Air Force pilots, while not flying the real thing, are ordered to train themselves constantly on Flight simulators! The US Army uses the game America's Army as a recruitment tool(to inspire people to join the army)! And belive it or not, it does work! People do fall for it(I apologise for the lack of tact). And, in the real life, US military personnel are trained to use the Javelin missile system using a video game/simulator!
