The typically developing boys were big into first-person shooter and sports games. But the boys with autism or ADHD were more likely to choose action games or single player role-playing games
Boys with autism spectrum disorders or with ADHD are both prone to problematic use of video games, according to a study.
The researchers asked the parents of boys ages 8 to 18 to report on their child's video game use, including hours of use and the types of games they play.
The boys with autism spectrum disorders spent twice as much time playing video games as did the typical boys, two hours a day compared to one. The boys with ADHD played 1.7 hours a day on average. That means that the boys with autism or ADHD were reaching the maximum two hours a day for screen time set by the American Academy of Pediatrics, before adding in TV or other screen use.
Earlier studies of children with ADHD or autism also have found increased use of video games, but this is the first study to compare the two with typically developing children.

But the researchers, at the University of Missouri's Thompson Center for Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disorders, say it's impossible to say from their study if the video games are causing problems or if children with problems are more likely to be drawn to the games.

MtG is all about just general nerds that have poor social skills creating a social sphere they can feel accomplished/comfortable in. Very high level play/deck design may have spergs, but in general it's just your garden variety nerdfest.
momo, you do realize your post is stupid because fifa is now the most popular football game and PES sucks now, right? So EVERYONE plays Fifa.If you read the spoiler you would have an idea of what i'm saying, dipshit.

How about you link to the source? Grouping FPS and action games sperately, as though one isn't a subset of the other, seems suspect. But I don't necessarily disagree with the idea here...
FPS = multiplayerThat would make sense, yeah, but according to the article the researchers pin it on the fact that FPS are too busy and visually overwhelming, whereas action games...aren't, I suppose? I guess the article might have just omitted the multiplayer aspect, but it seems weird that they didn't talk about it now that you mention it.
Action = single player
FIFA sucks. Pro Evo 4 life.
Yes, PES is horrible thats why I stopped playing it after PES5 and that was being generous because it peaked at 3. My problem isnt people playing FIFA it's cockmonglers that never played PES when it was clearly the best football game, instead they played broken ass FIFA because hey, they could select Michael Owen.People who play fifa are my least favorite crowd. I used to love playing PES, but those fucks who play fifa (and madden really) are a special breed of twat.spoiler (click to show/hide)not talking about the people who jump between games based on gameplay, the fucks who were playing fifa from the shit that was Fifa 97 to now.[close]
Hikikomori. I felt like saying the word.
PES is fucking terrible now. FIFA, on the other hand, has been fantastic lately.
Like it or not rpgs will make you think while shooters tend to... not.

The thing is thought that to really maximize your score in Bulletstorm you often have to cleverly use the environment and your gadgets to get the highest you can. You're trying to be clever magus, but Bulletstorm is genuinely more cerebral than the drab menu browsing pedo garbage you subject yourself to day in day out.
You think I don't know that? I just enjoy watching people unintentionally body themselves :dead
Bulletstorm had intentionally dumb dialogue that was genuinely funny. (http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-colbert.gif):heh
So, what about those of us that play shooters and RPGs but don't play FIFA/sports? Are we some unicorns that fart blackholes?
Any argument that you aren't thinking while playing a multiplayer shooter is butt fucking distinguished mentally-challenged and requires zero rebuttal.
