One minute, I was gibbing some n00bs in quake, next thing you know it I was passed out on my bed with tourniquet around my shoulder, and a needle hanging out of my arm.

While this may be interesting, and cause for more research, I'll take it with as many grains of salt as I want until a more conclusive study is released.

Did they take into alcholism into it? that makes people more aggresive...
What if people who are disposed to liking video games also just happen to like alcohol/drugs.
Is there many people who don't play video games? Do the people that don't play drink/take drugs?

In my opinion the study is similar to something they would show on ACA - and we all know the quality of reporting they produce....

^^ Agreed, completely useless.

Ok, of course blood pressure is increased after playing GTA, and of course it will be higher for those in more stressful environments anyway - FFS stress induces high blood pressure.

On the same note, I'm more likely to take drugs or drink if I'm NOT playing video games, cause sometimes I'm bored as all s***. It's one or the other, rarely both.

This fully explains why I don't take drugs because I'm not a gaming nerd. Suck s*** gaming nerds.

The first primitive computer and video games were developed in the 1950s and 60's

WoW is a drug. It's so damn addictive!
