BYU P.U.’s Pew Pew
Posted by jonnielaw , Jan, 2009 @ 4:32 pm
Two new reports were released recently claiming that gaming is bad for you. The first, via TechRadar, states that gaming can affect relationships in RL. The second was published in the Journal of Youth and Adolescence [via GamePolitics] states that gaming can affect the youth of today in “so many ways.” These studies both suggest that gamers are more likely to be anti-social and prone to drug use. Both studies were held by Brigham Young University.
Hold a tic, BYU? 2 studies? This is the same shit! From Mormons, no less!
Don’t get me wrong, Mormons are swell people. I’m friends with some (most of which are gay, but that’s a whole ‘nother can o’ potatoes) but I am not going to except any scientific research coming from a University based within a religion that was borne from “magical tablets” which only one man could read. Here’s a vid from experts on The Church of Latter-Day Saints:

Though I am completely biased, I am still calling shenanigans. Bottom line, if you do anything for extended periods of time it is going to affect your interactions elsewhere. Moreover, what they fail to realize is that gaming doesn’t make people anti-social or prone to drug use, rather it is more likely that anti-social, drug-users tend to play more games.
I dunno, call me crazy, but it seems to make sense that if you think you suck in RL but can pwn face ingame that you just might want to spend more time in the latter realm.

Hi, possibly i’m being a little bit off topic here, but I was browsing your site and it looks impressive. I’m building a blog and trying to make it look neat, but everytime I touch it I mess something up. Did you design the blog yourself? Could someone with little experience do it, and add updates without messing it up? Anyways, good information on here, very informative.

There’s even a video on it that can be seen here:

Good afternoon, I was reading something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective on it is diametrically contradicted to what I read earlier. I am still pondering over the opposite points of view, but I’m leaning to a great extent toward yours. And irrespective, that’s what is so great about modern-day democracy and the marketplace of ideas online.

Hello! How are you today? It’s only that i dig your blog so much, and that i believe you can start getting a bunch of cash from it. I run a few successful websites that i started bringing in some cash from recently. They use a thing called a content hider widget, that makes guests fill out a quiz to get access to highly valued content or to download programs or tools that they need. And each time they do a fast quiz i make around two dollars. Pretty cool eh..? Been earning much more from this than google adsense. Feel free to email me, or you can check it out through my link. http://www.tinyurl.com/yevwfst, Best Regards, Hennrik G. Hansen
