Ok, although threads about video games being good/bad/ugly tend to end up as cesspools, I think there is a wide enough scope of topics to discuss within this heading for us to make this work. These topic include but probably are not limited to:

• Whether it makes kids insensitive/violent/fat/satanist.
• Addictive games can be pretty devastating for some people.
• Whether they distract people from doing more productive things with their time.
• Whether they condition people to be lazy or impatient.

Feel free to talk about specific video games but bear in mind that individual examples do not usually make too much of a difference to, or prove much about, the bigger picture.

I was motivated to make such a brain-numbingly unimaginative discussion by purely selfish principles rather than any genuine burning interest in the matter, so please forgive the somewhat sloppy manner of this post.

P.S: the satanism and fat thing was a joke, I didn't mean it.
