I predicted a Brazil - Argentina finals.
And then predicted an Argentina 2-1 victory.

Edit: this is good news though, means I'll still be enjoying video games when I'm 50 :D i dunno bout that, games when I grew up were made for adults, games today (COD, Battlefield, autohealing and not being able to lose) are made for kids, which make it boring to play them. idk, I think adults will always be a good market and there will be plenty of games for us. Especially this new generation of adults, who grew up with video games as kids and are already playing them. I know many adults in my parents generation didn't get into video games, and even look down on them (at least, most of the adults I knew, since I went to a weird school where none of the kids were allowed to play any video games). you are definately right, the market just got bigger, the good games didn't go away. But the kids nowadays, when I ask them about Doom, Unreal Tournament, Quake, Counterstrike, Deus Ex, STALKER, StarCraft or whatever they don't know and they don't want to know. They know LoL, CoD and BF4 but in the end it is important that they switch to the game with some demanding gameplay, or will they stay with their ez games? I know what you mean, man. The one video game I played a lot as a kid was Pokemon. A friend felt sorry for me since my parents didn't let me play video games at all and he gave me his old GBA and cartridges for Ruby and Fire Red. I kept that GBA hidden under a mattress in my room and played it a bunch when my parents weren't looking. I gotta say one of the things that was difficult about switching to Starcraft for me is that when laddering, no matter how good you get you'll only win 50% of the time. The fact that in pokemon games you win virtually all of the in-game battles has kind of spoiled me, lol. yeah, it is not the kids but the industries fault. Learning to lose should be part of the game, not auto-win. To learn how to do it in a different way, when it doesn't work the way you trie it first. But with CoD like games (and autoheal) it is "rewarding" no matter how u play the game. It would be more rewarding if the victory is achieved harder from time to time, but that is how most games of today are designed. I played Doom when I was 6, hell I shit my pants back then (I needed to wait until my parents go to bed, went to the computer room in our house and played until the level was finished (couldn't stop playing before that, or the demons would come at night and get me). I died a hundread deaths but it was worth it, after playing through it you really felt like being a hero. That is why I hate CoD so much, it doesn't feel like I have done something special. Back then I was more used to lose in games or almost every way cause I had an older brother who won against me in almost anything we did. Maybe that is why I don't cheese in SC2, I choose to do it the hard way, no matter if I lose. 50% winning/losing is a good concept I think. Yeah man, I've been trying to get back into laddering. It's stupid how discouraged I get when I lose at SC2. Kind of pathetic really that I mostly still just play the AI. I've been trying to learn a new hotkey layout (TheCore), but I'm never able to stick with laddering long enough to learn it. Last time I laddered I stuck with it for about 3 days (Jakatak says it'll take at LEAST a week to learn the core) so now I kinda have to start over since I didn't really get anywhere last time. I tell ya man, ThePokemonSyndrome is a serious illness that games can suffer from, lol As I am still searching for a research topic in my psychology studies for my dissertation, I will have a look into the influences of games onto gamers (from a not "games make you a killer" perspective), thx for the tip. Hey no problem buddy. Yeah it would be nice to have a psychological study about gamers that isn't politically-motivated. I swear to god, if I see one more person on TV going on about how "omg it's so terrible what these evil video games are doing to kids these days. Look at how violent kids are these days! Blaah blaah blaah." Not to mention that according to Steven Pinker, violence has actually been steadily declining, in spite of what some might have you believe, and we currently have less violence in our society than we ever have. wrote my first (for being a Bachelor) research paper on the influence of games, but it was more a physical thing (better reaction in some cases, better organisation and communication skills) not too deep into the psychological area. And... you don't need to ask a single person for seeing that violence is declining, there are official statistics, provided by the US gov. that prove that. http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/violence-and-games-graph.giffun fact, you can google "violent crime rates US" or so and find out, that the crime rates are exploding after 1960 (TV reaches the masses) and declining from 1993 (Doom 1, Playstation) on. I don't say that there are connections, but well... make your own deep thoughts about that  There are tons of articles like that one on the web, but they don't get published in the mass media - unfortunately http://theincidentaleconomist.com/wordpress/its-not-the-video-games/
Thanks for the articles, man. Yeah, society is pretty stupid when it comes to scapegoating video-games. Do you think any crazy anti-video-game laws will ever be passed as a result of this video-game hysteria?
Also, why aren't these articles published in the mass-media? You'd think controversial articles would attract attention and be good for ratings.

sure man. I collected hundreds of these once.
Also there are studied "experts" like "Manfred Spitzer" who are absolute idiots on that field and talk completely against the facts.
I also liked this article and the graphic at the end

That sounds about right: the first player to ever lose a bo5 after being up 3-0. only bomber could overcome my silliness. Naniwa lost 0-1 in a Bo5... anything's on the cards. pretty sure Startale fan could tell us a story about a won game that doesn't count too.
