Everything in moderation, you know your family will say you're not playing in moderation
Some things aren't quite true about that article though.
Some things aren't quite true about that article though.
I bet a few rack up that many hours in one year of FFXI or whatever MMO of your choiceAnd the average young person racks up 10,000 hours of gaming by the age of 21.
Not every needThe truth is this: in today's society, computer and video games are fulfilling genuine human needs that the real world is currently unable to satisfy.
BullcrapAnd when we play multiplayer games, we become more collaborative and more likely to help others.

I would actually like to see her research that went into writing that book she said she has out... as much as I'd like a pro-gaming book out, I'd want it to be as accurate as possible too...
