less sensitive, ignorant, and most of time using excesive words maybe.This makes me confused. Give me an example of a game dulling a person's senses?
i've never seen someone like that.it's quite hard for me to exclude that tiny country in gaming discussion.
they also contribute almost half of income gaming console industry for the rest of the world.

and probably get FAT.
well that's the most stereotypes out there.
well, if the person isn't socializing at all. it would really dull his socializing skills.Ok well I mean if you were socializing. And you couldn't hold a conversation to save your life.
Well now I know that fast paced action video games don't dull reaction times or accuracy. Thanks guys, very useful posts. Seriously.Physical senses/reaction times/spacial awareness http://www.reghardwa...ecision_making/ and http://www.theregist...er_human_being/ says no.
Social ability..... I dare say my argument would be can't polish a turd but you can make sure it does not stink up everything for everyone if you make some effort (rephrasing of perhaps violent people are drawn to violent games). This said I do not participate in online games and will drag myself and a bottle of wild turkey to friends* for multiplayer games on a fairly regular basis so samples being biased and all that.
*games might be suspect but spawning and being in a properly properly committed relationship does seem to reduce time available for socialising.

I play video games like 5 out of 7 days a week for like 3 or 4 hours, I'm not fat I'm actually underweight! My sense aren't dull and my counsellor said that it sometimes can work as stress relief for me.
This thread is pointless. If you've ever played Call of Duty you know that you need to have pretty damn good reflexes to get a positive KDR, and you need to use your brain to play other games too. Kinect, Wii Fit, Playstation move are now used in old peoples homes and schools to get the old people moving and keep the kids fit.
This is useful to know. Real. Useful. In fact, I need to start playing action video games more. When I started shifting to RPG games, I felt like i changed. I mean, too much gaming is horrible, whether or not it helps. But i guess to pass time during my day, i could go play some FPS games on my PC. Not a fan of call of duty at all(even though that gets mentioned a lot). Thanks everyone. I wish i could talk more, but it's 4AM in the morning. Classic case id like to call the unwillingness to go the fuck to sleep :/ I wanna call it insomnia, but that's a sleep disorder. Lol.I don't know what video games may have done for my already shit eyesight (so much Pokemon in the dark when I was a kid), but I'd say they actually sharpened up my hearing from listening so closely on online shooters like Call of Duty for people near me (lol sound whoring). My hearing is definitely more reliable, though, the sensitivity to lighter sounds has faded as I've pretty much stopped playing FPS's completely. So, I mean, it probably depends on how you game, but I can't really see more than hearing and sight being affected, if any senses are going to take a hit.
Edit: Also, why are people talking senses, then bring up weight? Weight isn't a sense. When most people refer to senses, they mean the five basics:
Hearing
Seeing
Touch
Smell
Taste
Gaming likely won't affect the last three on that list, which leaves what it may do to the first two. What it may do to the first two is entirely dependent on how, where, and when you game. There's no clear cut response.
actually, you can polish a turd, mythbusters proved itPhysical senses/reaction times/spacial awareness http://www.reghardwa...ecision_making/ and http://www.theregist...er_human_being/ says no.
