Sure, but you're going to have to tell me how cause i can't find it?

^ I believe that was a joke, AFAIK you cannot edit thread titles. IIRC it's been said that "the way to correct misspelled thread titles is to get them right in the first place"

Anyone who consider playing video games a productive use of time really needs to get there heads checked. People need entertainment. It's a form mental relaxation, stress control or sanity level sustaining enjoyment. However it's also possible to achieve these while doing something productive. Like reading, painting..... In this way since VG are not productive it does not take a genius to know that VG are a waste of time.

I will however continue to waste my time enjoying other peoples creativity.

Explain to me (I study English literature) how reading is more productive than playing video games.

Go ahead.

 To date, video game training appears to be one of the more interesting and promising means to improve perceptual, attentional, and cognitive abilities. One of its promises is that, compared to traditional training, it can be engaging and entertaining. This has led some companies to begin to market video games for the specific purpose of improving cognition. For example, Nintendo advertises “Big Brain Academy” as a game that ‘‘trains your brain with a course load of mind-bending activities across five categories: think, memorize, analyze, compute, and identify

There are many positive effects of video games on some people as suggested by some researches; people play because they want to get away from their everyday life, break routine, to relive stress, allow them to cool off when they are stressful, could help people take out their anger through the game rather in real life because they are fun and interesting way to spend time
