ONLINE GAMING Is It Dangerous ?
Hi :)

I have been a gamer since the 70's on the early consoles.
Over the last 20 or so years first person shooter games have become way more intense.

I find that after a full on match where both sides are going at it to win my heart rate is high and the feeling of tension and stress is very high.

I got to thinking the other day ...Is this stress bad for me and others?

Am i alone in this?

It's deadly if you are playing FPS games, but you respawn soon afterwards.

First person shooters are just expensive judges to tell you when "BANG! Gotcha!" is legit for people who can point and click fast.

You might have a small argument if you use Photosensitive epilepsy and saying games can cause seizures. Maybe it's related and you just aren't aware of the medical issues you may have. It's a pretty big maybe though.

Deadly if you have a weak heart maybe? Otherwise, I'd imagine it's actually helping to keep the heart strong.

The guy's had a hard life. He talks a lot about his struggles with his weight and depression in his videos. Really cool guy. Very humble and down to earth.

Re: ONLINE GAMING Is It Dangerous ?
It's highly addictive, that's one of the dangers.

Since you mentioned stress, I know a guy who plays a lot of online games. He's high-strung and has an anxious way about him, his temperament annoys me somewhat, but that might just be his personality.

Either way, it makes me want to stay away from online gaming.
