That seems a bit odd..." but then I watched it, and I totally got it. Thanks for sharing this. =) This encompasses everything about the article and I think it perfectly describes what's happening. To steal from Monsieur Plott, I love that I love all of this. The passion is so awesome in our community. :D Thanks for the article!  | ||

Sometimes the tone of these threads sound like the same tone of a person coming out of the closet. "Mom, dad, I'm a hardcore gamer." | ||

I mean yeah i'm happy for the OP that his mom understands why does he like games and is having this epiphany but the article is just a sum up Day[9]'s video with a couple of very wrong conclusions about not studying being ok as long as you play games. Honestly, I think a lot of people didn't read the linked article. Don't get me wrong, I loved the tone of the article and that his mom is open minded and supportive, but with quotes like, "I once asked my son about this, knowing that he probably knew more than most therapists," and, "Years ago, I noticed that if I let my kids eat all the candy and television they wanted, they soon normalized on their own," you can't take any of it seriously. Just take it as a well-motivated and perhaps overhyped article. | ||

"Mom, dad, I'm a hardcore gamer." That's because a lot of people who play games are actually closet gamers. | ||
