Hi there, do you believe that kids who play video games are better off in visual reactions compared to the average teenager who doesn't play video games?

Can't other activities such as hockey, baseball, football etc develop the same exact skills at a faster pace? I imagine someone who faces real consequences for making a wrong splitsecond decision (mountain biking, etc.) would be more focused on developing their judgment skills more so than your standard gamer.

I say this as a gamer and a sports player, I don't believe my gaming life has helped me in any way outside of gaming itself, it's more of a net loss considering wasted time. I've developed the reaction skills I need to by playing sports and had I not played video games I would've been outside more and probably would have played sports which means I would probably have better spent my time more healthily.

Alright, time for the real question... When do you plan on rap battling B-Rabbit? More importantly, who would go first?

I imagine baseball would develop them more slowly, it's a rather slow sport (stop, go) etc. But I strongly disagree that you wouldn't get the same development from hockey and football. Unless you can provide solid proof (AFAIK comparisons haven't been done yet, I may be wrong) I probably won't believe you no matter what, so don't lose heart XD. Definitely some interesting research and results
