What video games can do to people....(uncensored)

Share |

A friend of mine on Facebook sent me over this youtube video and I couldn't help but feel sorry for this guy. I don't know who he is, but it is clear to me that he is the product, let's just say prototype, of what we can expect with such a video and computer heavy culture. In a lisp riddled rant against some changes that were made to a video game, Diablo III by Blizzard Entertainment, this particular video blogger expressed his displeasure accusing the video game company of what can only be described as a violation to his civil liberties -- emotional turmoil ensues. Not since Martin Luther King Jr. has someone spoken with such passion (okay that is an overstatement).

I warn you, there is some foul language, but it won't take long, and a few clicks fast forward to get the picture. I don't feel that this man is mentally challenged, at least not to any current medical standards that I know of. However, it does seem that there is enough reason to think this guy will be able to open a new chapter in medical science history -- Video Game Attention Disorder or VGAD. (No small irony that it starts with the initials VGA.)

Here is the video, and feel free to comment on ways that the gospel might help someone like this.

Now Watch Elder Bednar's CES fireside. Tell me he isn't inspired.
