   Report: Effects of Gaming Worse Than "Smoking on Lung Cancer"

   gamefreaksnz:

   sweez:

   “Psychologists say regular exposure to games like these actually rewires a child’s brain, making them more amenable to violence,” the report adds. “Such is the level of concern now, the world’s leading researchers have been summoned to Sydney for a conference later this month.”
   
   Who these psychologists and researchers are, what studies they’ve conducted or which conference they’re being “summoned to,” as if Australia’s Imperial Mage clapped his hands and sent forth his drakes to call the wizards of the council to his dark tower, is never mentioned. It’s an astonishingly concentrated dose of misinformation, sensationalism and hilarity; at least, it would be hilarious if it wasn’t also just about guaranteed to make a big impact on at least some of the parents and R18+ naysayers in Australia. The public consultation may be over but the fight for a proper game rating system, I think, is far from finished.

   Idiocy, you have not failed us yet.

    this wouldn’t be happening if parents stop buy games for their kids with a “M” for mature rating!

2. Notes

A modern man trapped in slow pace town in the South. I take on many roles in this world, trendy but simple, well traveled but can be a highly "low key" person, quiet but loud. If you can get to know me...consider yourself a friend of mine.
