Psychologists Claim Games Alter Personal Reality

[Grunt_Man11]

I can see this. About 4 years or so back, during my stint playing WoW, I was sitting in work and was about to head to the canteen when I was a little surprised to find myself wondering whether I should summon my voidwalker for the journey, just in case.

Ha, I've caught myself imitating the idle animations from WoW at work during long periods of standing at a register.

Like doing the shoulder roll of the Night Elves, the stretch of the Undead, or the look around of the Tauren and Blood Elves.

So, people can have revalations from books, movies and music... and now games; tell me what I didn't already know.

Come on, this is stupid. Of course games change your personal reality. so does everything else. School, Parents, the city where you live (environment), Television, music, those stupid GEICO commercials, wars, politics, & (especially) violence. You name it, it alters you personal reality whether you like it or not. but they just want you to focus on Video Games, makes me sick.

I wonder if the researchers have seen Scott Pilgrim.

Yes, I have watched it
