You know, studies show that playing video games can increase planning and reflexes

I know. I did a five page psychology report on the benefits of video games. Try telling them that. They're close-minded and arrogant.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Oh no, they'll just believe that video games lead to violence and therefore, all people who play violent video games will be anti-social psychopaths

....even though there's no scientific evidence of any sort at all

All of this pretty much is because of Columbine IIRC.

But dey wot ur bwain

this reminds me, once we were at the doctors and my brother and i were both playing on our nintendo ds's (i have no idea how to write the plural of ds), and there was this old lady there who commented "what a shame they're wasting their brains on those things"

...of course, neither of us heard her because we were too busy wasting our brains, so we wouldn't have known if our mum hadn't told us afterward lol

Re: Mario Kart 8

Well, I ended up doing a research paper for my English class last semester on Video Games, but more on the potential they have,moreso on how influential they are. So, I do know a lot about both the pluses they bring, but also the studies shown how video games can be very...unhelpful.

But if we're talking about Mario Kart 8 about this, then I don't see how it can really be violent, unless you are uber competitive and get into a fierce race with your friends.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Notice how, in the news whenever a mass act of violence happens the media always blames video games?

Re: Mario Kart 8

Yes. I think it's BS.

What does BS mean?

Re: Mario Kart 8

It means completely stupid.

Re: Mario Kart 8

The media's always saying "RAAAAAH VIDEO GAMES DESTROY KID'S MINDS!" when they're actually quite beneficial.

But they do! Video games keep kids from having fun and playing outside! JK.

Not soon enough. That's all I really know.

Re: Mario Kart 8

Yeah I really hate some of the flak the babies are getting when the the entire roster isn't revealed yet + too optimistic people

Re: Mario Kart 8

Sheesh... when's Goomba gonna appear? Other than that, I like the roster.

Well, I'm pretty sure that we haven't shown any flak to them.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that it my both our days.

Re: Mario Kart 8

UPDATE:

apparently you CAN hold items behind you:

I watched the trailer again and it's not a shell wandering to Mario: Mario is indeed holding it behind him
