Testing Gamer vs Non-Gamer Brains: How Do Video Games Affect You? | WIRED
I guess playing dying light must have helped with my fast thinking, anger and my fear of zombie video games.
Take that mom!
Que te calles uei
Gaming makes your brain faster
athletes are just pepes who win and train for something so we are all athletes
The host of this video indicated that because the pro gamer was younger, it was obvious he’d be smarter. To what extent is this age bias accurate, or perhaps comically exaggerated? I find this conclusion especially doubtful, considering that he is not particularly old. That is, he’s not old.
7:45 will that tech company be one of those companies in Black Mirror in like 2050?
You want to have a healthy thumb👍
This is so cool… I only make videos of Ragnarok Mobile game.. pls check it out..
Wow, u can play Splatoon 2, Fortnite and Gta V on gamecube..
Gamers are weak??
Fortnite is not gaming!!!
Ya cant call yourself a real gamer unless you know what Phantom Forces is
i did those hand stretches and it made my wrist crack really loudly but now it feels better than ever haha
I wonder what happens to the brain when you focus only on games that are intentionally realistic, like Squad, Arma, racing simulators, flight simulators, etc.
Husband became a gamer his anger went up and activity and social activity became nonexistent. His brain can’t seem to think outside of the game. I games to try and join him after 3 weeks I stopped because I was feeling depressed and my brain was not working how it normally does. Literally felt like it was rotting.
what a joke. I wonder which gaming company paid for this "editorial" video…so imbalanced and completely lacking the very scary data regarding ADDICTION to gaming and it’s very negative impacts on EMOTIONAL health.
suck my wigly dik
Now I have reasons not to listen to my mom anymore.
Try sports.
I think games are good for you but just like thanos said, you should keep things balanced you should still get some physical exercise, just don’t be some 800 pound person in a dark basement playing games and screaming at their parents.
Who play pubg like 😀👇😎
Try VR on PS4. Playing reg games are boring. I’m flying spaceships on distance planets and exploring planets in cool spacesuits in VR
When I show this to my mom she says it’s an ad for video companies to get people to play their games
NANI!!!????🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
Can someone just put it simply where whether or not gaming makes u dumber or smarter or nothing.
Self admitted non avid player says they been playing for 30yrs….. So is it the former or latter thats a lie? Or are the tests or whole video? When i saw S1 E1 and the topic i thought "oh yeah great idea for the starter episode, stroke dem egos gewd yo"
hi
gamers are used to having people screaming at them while still trying to win the game for example…
Picking mercy on overwatch and getting told you aren’t healing them enough or to stop dying while still healing them.
Ironically the pro gamer seems even fitter than the other guy
Also, there is an age gap between the non-gamer and the gamer person, where non-gamer is on his late 30s and gamer on his late 20s. So that would be one of the influences in this study.
Gaming WASTES YOUR TIME.
Round of applause to WIRED for not jumping on the bandwagon of *video games are bad* like seriously, my parents went to a seminar about media on the brain by Scott Ritsema and made me come. Go send that guy some hate. Watch his videos and you’ll see what I mean. BTW dislike every one of his videos lets destroy that guy’s career!!!
League of Legends is a garbage game. Lol
Hmmm yeah… I’ma keep them thumb exercises in mind. Since very little I can pop my right hand thumb sooo yeah….I don’t to stop gaming due to some injury :’c
People who play video game doesn’t know the real game in life like stock market, creating business, art mastery, music, and other. Unless there is a game that remain popular for more than decade, playing video game is useless
Anyone know what is Rotogenflux Methods about? I hear many individuals increase their IQ of 23 points with this intelligence boost system.
Im still kinda confused, does video games improve ur attention? or only action games or what?
I play 100hours a day
I’m sure you have dishes to do. GO outside and contribute to society #unsustainable
11:31 : did that stretch in VR games. :)))
Okay, I don’t play video games that often…
But when I play card and board games I get lost and struggle to keep up, yet I can figure any videogame instantly…
But did he get that good bc of a videogame or he already was pretty darn good with cognitive exercises?
I have been playing vid games a lot for 6 yrs… people are saying this helped improve their eye coordination, typing spd and even helped with their knowledge, and how come im still dumb and unattentive????????????
I just want 1 thing, for my mom to give me da succ while i play….. Too many ppl repeating the same meme in the comments
This guy at 2:40 is cheating, wtf! He says dont look at the dots directlyxD
And that’s only a Dota 2 gamer , csgo gamer reaction time mate ++
Me: mom!! I broke my arm
Mom: it’s because you are always playing videogames!!
Me: *excuse me!?!?!??!!!*
GAMERS RISE UP
