6.) Video games make you stupid
Often times, I've heard the argument about how video games and television can make people dumb because they look at a screen all day. Well sure if all you play or watch is crap the entire time, then you are bound not to learn anything. Playing video games has taught me a bunch of stuff that most would learn from books. I once studied for an English exam by playing Dante's Inferno and got questions right about a biology exam playing CSI.
A recent study also shows that playing video games make your brain bigger.
