Do you think that games can relate to real life experiences negatively or positively? For example, does someone that plays World of Warcraft or Call of Duty feel more violent if they play the game religiously? Or does someone that plays more educational games become smarter? This has been consistently argued both ways and I wanted to know what you think.

If you play WoW all the time, then I would call the SWAT team and they will hunt you down (I hate WoW if you can't already tell.) Anyhow, I think people who game all the time are more self motivated than others.

It's been argued both ways but tests have consistently shown that violent games don't cause any increase in violence

Emotionally vulnerable people are going to be influenced by inputs that regular people are not overwhelmed with, be it literature, music, games, movies or scripture.
