Doctor Says Gaming Is Healthy

I’ve been a big gamer my entire life, and while too much gaming and gaming addiction are very real problems, many studies show that playing video games actually has several health benefits, as long as you don’t overdo it. Turns out playing Fortnite, Minecraft, or even classic RPG’s can benefit your social life and even your grades!

I was driving in a blizzard. The speed limit was slowed to 10 miles per hour. I drive that normal takes 2 hours took almost 7 hours. I was going down hill, with chains, slowly pumping at the breaks and still slide out. We ending up spinning around to face traffic. There was a semi coming down the hill. Because of the grade and snow the were having a hard time getting down the hill and wouldn't have been able to stop. I literally had just enough time to back up, turn around, and start driving again. My buddy I was traveling with asked me how I did that and stayed so calm. I just answered 30 years of gaming.

As you walk away while still thinking about this, a body falls out of a nearby locker, with no sound but a thud.

You may be doing the "team mates" part wrong, but do not fret, your social skills improve once you fix that bug! It's part of the learning process 😁

Completely on board with this! Some games are good for building teamwork skills and reflexes, also teaching to be aware of surroundings, etc. there is so much that can be gained from gaming (reasonably).

Mizar (2nd battle) in Jet Force Gemini for the N64 got my potty mouth going as a teen. If my parents had cought me, I'd have so much soap poisoning now (movie reference). XD Imagine playing Jump rope except the rope can nearly kill you in 1 hit & you have to shoot at a target at the same time. If you actually survive getting hit, you got the heal while still jumping rope & shooting at the target. That Jerk was so annoying! Mizar is perhaps one of the hardest video game bosses I have ever beaten.
