Well, girls can play videogames, but you don't want them next to the knifes or anywhere near the kitchen afterwards, then making them useless.

Sometimes if I've been sitting at a computer for 18+ hours plus working, and then have to look at reference materials, I briefly get confused at my lack of ability to copy and paste from the book

Re: Video Games are evil and will melt your brain....
After playing a bit to much Blitzkrieg, and beeing stuck on one of the "levels", I dreamt how I should solve it.
Kinda scary.

Re: Video Games are evil and will melt your brain....
The worst that has happened to me was being attacked by tie fighters while on the toilet after playing Rogue Squadron for a few days. Never found myself actually trying to do something from a computer game in real life though, no matter how long I have been playing.

Re: Video Games are evil and will melt your brain....
After a night (full night, including morning) of doing defence calls for my alliance, and then the next day at university, I went for dinner at a mates place. After dinner, as we watched telly, I started falling asleep, with browserwindows of scanpages and battlecalculators flashing in front of my eyes.

I do this. I also think of all history in terms of the Europa Universalis or Victoria map displays.

I do this occasionally. I also look for hiding places, ala Thief, but that's more from hanging around with an extremely paranoid Thief fanatic than playing the game per se.
Also, the reason that there aren't many lucas arts style adventures nowadays is that lucas arts is now run by executives who have no clue how the industry works.

Did you actually "get" a solution while dreaming?
Couse I did, and it worked perfectly

Re: Video Games are evil and will melt your brain....
Hmm I've dreamt about solving things in games/programming before, but much like homer and his amazing device dream I always forget it by the time I wake up.
I think it's up to the opensource / freeware devs to revitalise the adventure game genre. Clearly companies are not going to take the risk until they feel it's commercially viable. As such I'm working on one now.

Re: Video Games are evil and will melt your brain....
When I used to play pa seriously and was a BC I would dream of it but not the txt it was like real life doing everything but I always have action dreams could write many movies on them.
I also used to wake up with a start in the middle of the night with the feeling i was under attack and go out to my computer and sure enough I was 3 hours later go back to bed when i was covered.
I am so glad I do not do online gaming anymore.

Re: Video Games are evil and will melt your brain....
I've had some interesting moments driving around after long sessions on GTA3.
Although I also once spent a good day playing Rainbow Six over xBox Live! and then said 'Tango Down' to a passer by when we seen someone get knocked over

Nominating that article simultaneously for the Daily Sport's "Best independant journalism" award and Telegraph's "Worst independant journalism" award.
I would also like to echo earlier sentiments that that woman is clearly dippy and should be kept clear of computers.
Also:
Kozi Kitchens?!?!
