So because supernatendo and I enjoy Video games we are mentally unwell?
hm.
I think some people just don't know how to live a little. Video games can be like good books. Perhaps something you know nothing about.
From reading your posts I can conclude that you, sir, are mentally unwell.
Thank you for that little admission.
Unfortunately, as Selene is implying in an obsolete, yet educational manner, too much of anything is bad for you. "Consumers" in mental institutions make that "Nyaa! Nyaa! Same to you!" remark to the staff all the time. Sometimes that is appropriate. Sometimes it is not.
You are building a straw man, same as SNat attempted. A strawman is not unlike the game of "Pick Up Sticks" in that removing the right stick helps you win, but pulling the wrong stick brings it all down in a mess, so then you lose.
This is the 21st Century, in case you missed that fact. Most people, especially here in the formerly "cushy" America, are a bit stressed.
If my posting habits seem convolute to you, it is because you are truly thinking inside the box. This is typical, but in the case of the die hard video gamer, the box they think inside of is a potentially frustrating "Boob Tube."
I think outside the box, for the most part. Most who have difficulty with imagination, have difficulty comprehending out of the box thinking. The problem with video games is not the game, but is the user pouring their personality out of the game like an alcoholic pours his personality out of a bottle. Like alcoholics, everyone else can see the problem except the alcoholic.
Selene,
You are either quite a researcher, or quite a linguist. As I've stated, I'm a natural at paranomasia, but I choose to enjoy it as a gift, rather than a compulsion.

For those who wonder why a Dr. would invert a quote by Einstein, it is for similar reasons as those that reason signing my name backwards.
1. I can. 2. Few can or will copy it.
As for Einstein, like so many other scientists, especially in today's world of specialists, he avoided the use of infinity. Albert was phenomenal in his imaginatory nature, but he struggled with math far more than building blocks. As Selene has pointed out, comparatively, "like calls like" where thinking is the subject. "Hell calls Hell" is like Dr. Smith, of "Lost in Space," saying "Evil knows Evil..." In comparison, "Imagination calls Imagination." Where video games are concerned, "pseudo-imagination calls pseudo-imagination" and the results are "pseudo-anything calls pseudo anything." SNat was hoping with all his pseudo-imaginative being that I was a pseudo-scientist. Unfortunately he'll have look elsewhere, because in my case "Genuine calls Genuine."
