Do videogames make kids devoid of any intellectual thought?

Considering there are so many people on this site that have been playing videogames for so many years of their lives, and are rather versed in ways of expressing their intellectual thought, I'd say it's a crock of shit.

Although, kids these days are really idiots, and I hardly blame video games for it. Parenting/schools/etc are a large factor.
 
HUUURRR DUUUURRRRRRRRRRRR I LIEK HOARSES.

I guess I'm pushing your buttons, sorry. I'm just provoking further conversation. I haven't seen you here before.

No, I don't want you to disappear, that was the first post I read from you and I thought it was hilarious. Because your name is Mirage, and you were talking about disappearing, I thought that was you being clever. Plus it was a little pathetic, and we all feel like that from time to time, I think.

Anyway, I would have never guessed you were strictly business. It wouldn't hurt to lighten up, but you know, whatever.

Honestly, I haven't been serious at all so far. I was surprised how seriously you were taking everything I said, so I played along with it.

Oh, haha, I would've never thought of that (the disappearing/mirage thing). And yeah I was having a bad day when I wrote that, also you didn't "push my buttons" I just see a lot of hostility towards "noobs" and just wondered.
 
Ask her if she thinks you have those disabilities and such, if she says yes (and you actually don't), smack her. Claim your love of games and such and call her a ****ing retard.

Good god, we must all stop playing video games ASAP!!!
 
Thanks to video games, I have been lured to the brain dead profession of programming.
 
Video games are just another medium of entertainment. There are plenty of ways video games can be used to enjoy a more intelligent and creative life. You need to tell your sister to learn to restrict their time and moderate the content. Saying GAMES ARE DUMB, NOT IN MY HOUSE is a stupid thing to do, and there are plenty of games out there that are probably more thought and creativity provoking than the televison her children watch.
 
Hopefully her kids don't watch TV all the time.

Me reckons that idiot box is worse, innit.

Why would you go cry in a hammock? A hammock is like the most inappropriate place to cry. It's a relaxation place, not a sad place.

What if he's from Hawaii and a hammock is just like a bed?

Where is your logic now?
 
You still can't possibly be sad in a hammock. Even if it was "just his bed," you're suspended in mid-air, reclining between two trees. You're like, "Holy shit, I'm all laid back and comfortable chilling with the trees." And if he's from Hawaii they're palm trees, and can you feel sad around PALM TREES? Fuck no you can't, because palm trees are the most festive of trees. You think a douglas fir is a festive tree? Get the fuck out of here, everytime you see a palm tree you want to party. That's why they put 'em on shirts made for big fat party animals. You ever see a fat guy wearing a shirt with a fir on it? No, you don't.

My logic is infallible.
 
Darkside why do you use different fonts to bypass the f­ucking profanity filter?
 
I'm not. It's verdana, ain't it? Fuck man I used to use arial all the time because it was the shortest font name and then there was someone having a goddamn conniption every time I did, telling me to use verdana. That's what I be using now and now someone's giving me shit about that too.

Fuck all of y'all I'm going to start posting my swears in fixedsys, how about that?
 
Impact is solely the domain of image macros. Impact is the best font and I would not dare use it for something as trivial or as menial as the "u"s I use to curse. Impact is so ballsy it has its own dramatic Japanese themesong.

That wasn't what I was getting at, man!

I was hoping you'd quote my f­ucking post and see that I haven't changed fonts at all.

I was hoping to grace you with knowledge.

holy crap I was not expecting you to post that

Mystical Ninja is awesome.
 
You...you can bypass the char filter as well?! Your magic frightens and baffles me. Good sir, have you the very power to blot out the sun?
 
You had your chance to learn from me, Darkside.

Now you must fight in the shade.
 
I won't strike you down now.

You will first endure a terrible curse, the curse of waiting out your own demise.
 
Between two fig trees only, according to my general procedures of conflict and filter bypass manual.
 
Well, fig trees are pretty cool. At least I'll always have something to eat.

Also, I smell the approach of mods, so before we're stricken with infractions for going off-topic I'd like to posit that all of the posts in the above exchange were, in fact, a way of demonstrating that video gamers are not without a sense of imagination and creativity as we have constructed a dramatic, multiple-person dialogue involving witchcraft, trees, fonts, and liberal use of swear words.
 
Kinetic's going to give me one either way.

Fu­cking Kinetic.
 
I'm not worried about Kinetic. It's always Glenn that comes after me. He's got it out for me, I tell you. I swear he's following me.
 
Well hey. I heard Kinetic is allergic to the colour red. (My signature used to be a "ScareKineticCrow,bro" but I must have the wrong shade of red!)

If you, uh, rub your head aginst his face or something, I'll show Hectic Glenn how Ricky Gervais is just an average stand-up comedian, and perhaps the two will leave us alone?

A bit of teamwork?

Oh god I'm just going to stop posting, now.

I uh...I don't know if I trust the rumor that he's allergic to red well enough. I don't think me rubbing my head against KA would make him go away. In fact it might be quite the opposite.
 
Is it too late to try and hide my camera and bad porn music CDs?
 
You know, neither of those things go well with a hammock anyway.
 
Saturos, just get them started programing, making their own games on the computer. This is pure creativity and logic problem solving.

I once created a blackjack and poker game using ASCII and C++. Never tried anything much more complicated than that.

A great idea, except kids have short attention spans. They're too young atm anyways, but maybe a few more years or so.
