Post Positive Effects Of Gaming

I did a slideshow on the positive effects of gaming and here is what the text of it was I just thought it would be intresting to you all well here it is I have the slideshow if n e 1 wants too see it this was for a research project and I did this all from the top of my head tell me what ya think, I got better ones on anti censorship tho here it is and just for you gib its error free lmao

Slideshow Presentation



Introduction



I did my sideshow on The Positive effects of gaming and in my personal oponion there are way more positives then negitives when you talk about the effects of games. Critics have to dig very deep to find negivitive effects and the effects they find are actually not exclusive to just video games. So here are some of the effects of video games.



Powerful Distraction Tool



Video Games Can have a varity of calming effects taking them away from the negitivitys they may face in everyday life. When we deal with negitive scenerios or situations we usually find something or someone or even both to help them cope with the adverse shigrin they may be facing or feeling. I personally use games to cope with negitive situation and I know quite a varity of people who cope the same way I do. The virutal worlds that are created by the designers provide a sense of comfort in the everyday lives of children, teens and adults alike. Sometimes its a good thing to just go to your own space and loose your mind in a virtual world to forget all of the bad things that you might be facing at the moment.



Great Anger Venting tool



I know that anger venting is a must to have. It is best to have a safe, calming activity to do to release all of the anger that has built up. I have had a problem with anger so I know this is so important to reducing anger in the human mind. Games like Grand Theft Auto, Unreal Tournament and Halo are great ways of calming down after I just had a long day filled with hatered and negivity. I know I need to just take my anger out on a video game for a few hours and I am ok again. When you are playing a game you are getting your anger out in a non viloent way. Critics and aragont, missguided and stuck up people are missinforming the public that games cause anger as opposed to release it and that is not true it only has adverse effects to missguided minds that dont know how to handle it. The majority of people that play games calm down from it. When it comes down right to it it really is better to shoot the AI characters in the game rather then take a gun and shoot them in real life. Personally I who be a psycho without anger vents like video games to calm me down.



Physical Improvements



When talking about video games you would not usually think there can be a varity of physical improvements resulting from video game usage. The truth is there are quite a few improvements. The First improvement results from the cardio workout you get from games like Dance Dance Revolution and In The Groove. There is included in the DDR game a workout mode to use and have resulted it loss of weight in the majority of the people tested by the game devlopers. The game is played by the beat of the music and you simply have to hit the correct step at the correct time. The step sequences can become very complex and fast for example a song in DDR is called Max 300 and it is 300 beats per minite and is very hard to even experenced players on the hardest level of play which is heavy. Now First Person Shooters like Halo, Unreal Tournament and doom increase you reflexes greatly. The reaction time you have to have to play a fast paced game like that is sugnifigant. The object in these games is to kill your opponent before they kill you and it really comes down to who is quicker then the other. When using your controller for what ever consol or even using the keyboard on your computer increases hand eye corordnation. Take me for example I have been playing games for 14 years and I have amazing Hand Eye Corodnation mainly from video games.



Intelectual Improvements

In any game a premis that is frequently repeated in all games is the increasing skill level. Usually in the first level you have a very light challenge to let you adept to the game and all of its controls. The following levels become more and more challenging improveing your expertizies in the game. An example of this is the game for the X Box Ninja Gaiden. At first it seems simple then it gets very rapidly harder and harder as you get through the levels untill you finish the game hours and hours later. Another example of skill improvement is the varing difficilty levels that the user will have to choose from. For example in the game Halo you have the levels easy, normal, heroic and legondary, each with varing diffuculty levels. Sometimes advanced strategy must be used in games like starcraft and other RTS games (Real Time Stratgy) in these games you are usually a group of people starting out in a base and you must infultrate and erradicate your opponent to win the match.The user must manage attack and defence if they want to win. Advanced strategies like flanking and multi pronged attacks are used to get the upper hand on an unsuspecting foe. In these games AI usually uses tactics like these so the user must adept and overcome everything the enemy throws at them to win. In RPG's math must be used to figure out stats for the character they are using and if a weapon is equiped they must calculate the bonous that that item intails them to get. For example a players character has an attack of lets say 45 and the player that they are attacking has a dexterity (thats defence) of 45 as well and the weapon equipped to the player's character gives him a + 10 attack bonus. The player must calculate what damage will be delt to the opponents hit points and wether they can win the battle or not. The AI skill level will vary game to game and the players mind must adept to the changing skill and tactics of the AI and human opponents that the player faces. To succeed in Gaming the player must have an attention to detail and it is devloped over the time that the player plays video games. For example to solve puzzles in games like Myst and Prince of Persia you must have a very high attention to detail to solve the puzzle in front of them. In Prince Of Persia there are multipul parts where you must jump from spot to spot and use the talents of the prince to get to seeming unreachable areas. You must use your attention to detail to find the route and exact spots you will go to to reach your goal and to the next puzzle.



Conclusion

In conclusion the Video game industry has done far more good then harm to todays youth and adults in socity. To everyone who says gaming is bad for you I will tell them to look at the facts and they will see that games devlop the Player in many ways.

It definitely isn't error free buddy, but it's still much better than you usually do! Hahahah

And yes, that's a pretty damn good article. With a little refining, that's post worthy!

Hey nice article man! Maybe you could refine this for the website and add a part where you qualify the claims of the positive benefits. In other words, arguments look better when you acknowledge the other side. Good job!
