Description

Season Two, Episode #15 "I'd like to play a video game where you help the people who were shot in all the other video games. It'd be called 'Really Busy Hospital.” - Demetri Martin From playing Mario Kart to hearing that Jimmy from down the street went missing for 72 hours because he was in his basement playing World of Warcraft, video games are nuts. But are they good? Are they bad? And what's the science say? On this episode, Mohnish, Kevin, and special guest Devyn Tammons cover: - What are the benefits of video games? - Are all video game players socially isolated, lonely, and want to punch themselves in the face due to sadness? (short answer: no) - According to the research, do video games cause aggression? - How can playing video games screw with your emotional life?
