And that is ALL we need to know.
Also, our brain activity constantly adapts to what we do. it is no wonder that if we do same task for 10 hours a day makes our brain adapt to working in this condition more than it would without it. That would be as good a conclusion as saying that "working 8 hours a day is bad because it causes brain activity to shift". Or for that mater substitute sleep for work, or anything you like. Changing in brain activity does not measure goodness or badness.

Experiments that prove existence of postive impact of gaming on people. I find lack of them... disturbing. Why there's no serious talk about such experiments and their results ?
C'mon, we don't live in the black/white reality.

See the daily mail prints the truth sometimes.
The Daily Mail is a horrible paper for the easily influenced. It published an article on how paracetamol can kill you if you take it regularly. This was a spin on the actual evidence which says that taking it regularly is more damaging on the liver compared to a single overdose of it. In my profession, I had to spend the next week explaining to Mail readers who came to see me that it's still a pretty safe drug and that using it on occasions for headaches or other pain didn't mean their liver was going to give up on them.
But that's just one example relevant to me. I don't read it, I only ever hear of its scaremongering, usually from threads like this. All it does is cause arguments between people who read the articles and people who genuinely know more about the subject. I can imagine now and over the festive period, elderly folk who read the Mail lecturing their grand children about how their brains will melt out of their ears and cause them to become psychopathic killers because they play video games.
I don't know how to put it in a more succinct, proper way so I'll just say "It's not fair". I don't see how they get away with causing so much panic and angst against things. I don't see the point of something that has no intention but to antagonise.

Whenever a news article starts with the words tabloid, daily and mail that's your go ahead to tune out. It's not news. It's not true. These people aren't journalists, let's move on.
It's been proven that violent video games attract aggressive people. I'm not aware of any proof that playing violent video games actually causes aggression and I doubt you could find such proof.Satsuki666 said:
Please, for the love of God, don't spread false statements. It just makes the lies easier to swallow.
I see the papers are jumping to conclusions again.
It means nothing with out a group who are playing non violent games. For all they know non violent and violent gamers brain configuration after this time could look the same.
Im sure they would find a difference in brain configuration if they tested something like a group of footballers after playing a match (and how there brain works normaly).

ATTENTION UK GAMERS....now that I have your attention, why do you look at the Daily Mail? Seriously it seems like complete shit and I can't see why you would look at it. Why not just ignore it?
10 hours of gaming a day for 2 weeks? I'd be cranky too.
Seems like both their attitude towards gaming and their stock photos are becoming very dated.

I wonder if they found the same result with violent jigsaw puzzles.The Daily Mail article said:
