Since the early 20th Century We've been on a steady rise from the 30-40 range thanks to modern medicine.

100% of all gamers die.

Video Games can be used for pain management. if anyone should know this it's the medical professionals.
I'm fucking tired of people attacking one of my favourite things. patients use games to concentrate on something other than the excruciating pain of DYING. Again.. medical staff.... read some fucking recent articles that actually point out the merits of gaming.

There is truth in Change4Life statement. Video games is a solitary activity. You don't move around, although your fingers get quite a workout. And seeing how people play games for a long time each day, it's not so hard that they will pack on the pounds. Now unless they workout to balance their gaming, then everything is peachy.

I was hoping this was going to have something to do with Left 4 Dead. I was sorely disappointed.

Yep. If you live you die. There's no escape. Everyone dies. So that means that we shouldn't do anything at all because it may cause a premature death.

Games aren't bad for you. Another study shows that Surgeons that play a video game daily make less mistakes than ones that don't. It improves hand-eye coordination. I'd also be willing to bet that if they did the same study with driving automobiles that it would reflect the same results. http://www.boston.com/news/local/connecticut/articles/2008/04/13/video_games_help_surgeons_refine_their_techniques/ There's also a few other articles that point towards games being helpful in this manner.

If you are on the side of change4life, why are you even at this website?
A hardcore gamer knows the benefits of gaming.

I guess I'm just from a generation where we didn't have game systems in our houses. And if we wanted to play the best ones, we had to find an arcade.

Finally: heart disease is caused by many other things, if you don't eat a properly balanced diet, don't exercise, smoke, use drugs, and drink, you will have a higher risk of going into cardiac arrest (even things such as age, race, sex and medications can cause heart disease). This isn't kindergarten health class, most everyone on this site should know these simple things. I'm positive that if you are on the internet, or intelligent enough to read, you should have already had someone tell you this. There is a multitude of causes for heart disease. It's absurd for anyone to point their finger and say that playing video games is going to cause you to have heart disease on its own. Those types of statements borderline on retarded. It's a faulty generalization, and you should check your logic before stating such nonsense.

HAHAHA games have taken a life or three....The horrid abomination of WoW has taken its share....and do you remeber japanese kids dying from playing too much pokemon on their GB color's? Ciggarettes kill you, Alcohol kills you, shitty fastfood will also kill you. Its all about moderation.

It's a melondick.
