    being a hardcore gamer myself, i believe it.
    you sit there running people over in burnout, then you expect us to be good drivers? ahaha

    If thats really how you'd drive after playing burnout, they should just put "This game is not intended for impressionable idiots" on the case.

    We drive fast because its funner, not because of video games. Even before video games like this people were driving fast.

    Who cares if some random 20 asses cant drive for crap

    The media heavily stereotype 'video games' and most of the time don't even know what the word means.

    They do it all the time.

    I can remmeber the Man Hunt case... Haha... Good times...

    Thats the problem.
    Manhunt DID cause problems.

    Videogames DO make impressions on people, regardless if its how they drive, or if they happen to go on a killing spree. Nobody normal is going to play manhunt then randomly go out on a killing spree wearing a mask, but it does affect people.

    The same way what we see our parents do as we grow up effects us, a lot of current heavy drinkers have heavy drinking parents or have seen their parents drinking heavily as a young child. Games influence us, a lot.


    However, against all that. Blaming video games for it is bs, since so many other things factor in how we drive.

    so what this is saying if there was a puzzle game and if u played it, you would be more invovled in making puzzles in real life.

    and if it is true jack should be hit by a "racer" from NFS...

    Good God. I wish parents would own up to their own shortcomings instead of blaming their kids' failures on stuff like videogames, music, etc.

    Woooooooooooow.

    This is stupid because my brother and cousin did a test:

    My cousin grew up in a family where he had ONE t, no computer, and was socially retarded.

    My brother however, had a TV in his room, one in mine, one in the living room, and one in the kitchen. We had a comptuer since Windows 95, had every system from N64-X-Box360. We had everything.

    So the day they both got their drivers license, they wanted to see who had the better drving:

    Non gamer
    Hardcore gamer

    So, my brother won. His reflexes from 10+ years of gaming really helped him out. He did wreck once, just went off the side of the road, it was because he dropped his coffee and swirved :P

    We all know that drinking coffee is the cause for aggression and bad driving..
    I proved it myself, i asked my friend if he got more violent after drinking coffee, he said yes. Case solved.
