Prolific gaming in childhood has shown to create social dysfunction and isolation.

Sure, it can promote many good skills, hand/eye, quick decision making, et all, but it needs to be done in moderation.

The behavior described in this OP is absurd.

God dammit. I knew I shoulda stopped playing them vidya games

But this one here hooked me. I was frickED and straight up jizzed on myself by the time Lara Croft was doing this shite in 3-D.

Yeah, because if you eliminate the video game, siblings will never cuss or fight with each other.


Very good question. My brother beat me up all the time and cussed me if I didn't give him half my fricking cheeseburger.

Dude, go be a grumpy baby boomer somewhere else.

Kudos to OP for the way he's approached this. I'm 29, I play video games all the time, have ever since high school, and I have plenty of friends.

Seriously though, if it gets bad, it might not be a bad idea to turn PVP off. Playing video games with other people is fun, but it can get vicious for children and teenagers. I hate minecraft, but if I was that into that game, I think it'd be something I'd want to play by myself, just to get away from the world every once in awhile.
