League Of Legends, one of the most popular global phenomenons in video games
Lol Championship in China.
What's mind blowing to me is that in the next decade video games will probably be more popular than football... than the NFL!?! Consider that this is global, and growing while the NFL's ratings are dropping... Here are some pictures of an event of 'LoL' at Staples. I like this much better as there's 0 brain trauma as a result from playing said game...
So guys, basically, I don't wanna miss out on the fun and competition! Some of an older generation might find it a bit hard to believe that Ex-Laker NBA star, Rick Fox, owns an esport LoL team https://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/12/rick-fox-league-of-legends. This type of stuff excites me. Even ESPN is covering LoL, now... Let the game's begin!
Reconciling video games
Though they can have negative effects, just like any other sport like football, we need to be aware of them. The sedentary lifestyle it promotes is not good but with balance, I believe it can incorporated as an entirely healthy, beneficial addition to one's lifestyle if managed well.
In my eyes, these are the PROS:
Camaraderie - it requires you to gel with others, to negotiate, to communicate in order to achieve success.
Positivity - If you're not positive or constructive, you will fail, and everyone around you will, too. A POWERFUL LESSON.
Mental stimulation and challenge - If you're playing for a challenge then there needs to be a risk of losing. All I'm saying is be honest with yourself. If you're playing for a challenge then you should be able to tell if you're being pushed or not.
Flow state - studies have shown video games induce a flow state, which is great for becoming mindful and reducing your stress. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3324568/ 'Neural contributions to flow experience during video game playing'
Sedentary lifestyle - bad for entire bodily system. Take a hike after a game session, literally.
Deteriorates eyes - Staring at a close object for prolonged periods of time is bad for the eyes...
Distracts you from society, community, politics and the nwo agenda - Pay attention to your rights and what's going on in the world. Don't become a nihilist. Family, friends, and community are essential to health.
In conclusion...
I'll stop there cause I don't wanna be too negative haha... video games are here to stay, might as well adapt to them and learn how can incorporate them into a healthy lifestyle, good luck everyone! Use them to engage your family and friends and to relax and fun. BALANCE.
