I especially like the fact that it includes that just because someone plays videogames, it does not make them an introvert, obese, idiot. It is also great to mention that some kids and teenagers used the violent content as a stress relief instead of idea generator. All and all, a great article.

It clearly explains BOTH sides of this argument and neither side is biased, which is a real breath of fresh air for me. Thanks for your article.

I admit that sometimes I do play video games with my friends instead of doing homework. However, I've never been in a fight, I'm not overweight, I have PLENTY of friends, and I'm getting my AA degree 2 years early through the Running Start program at my highschool. I wouldn't be able to do that if my brains were being fried by the games I played, right? For readers out there, I’m 17 and I absolutely LOVE first-person shooters.
