There was a big debate in my class about how video games can kill you or not. Some say that it could put in your coma. Other say the whole thing is ridiculous.
Seizures cannot be given. Nothing life threating can happen from playing a game on the TV.
That’s just one of the things parents make up to stop kids from playing so much, Jocks so they feel better at being good at nothing but sports and hippies who hate the whole idea of violent games to begin with.
(And depending on the hippe they may hate electricity as well)
P.S
A seizure can only happen if it repeatidly flashes bright colours in a rate so fast you would never see a video game do it. Plus seizure don’t kill you, they only hurt your brain.

dude no it’s total bull. Every night i get home and play video games and i’ve been doing so all my life. (In my defense i have a hard time sleeping at night so i play video games to pass the time until i pass out.) It’s just a big scare to get kids to be more active. I’m all for getting kids to be more active but we shouldn’t lie to them to do it. I’ve been a hardcore gamer all my life and nothing has ever happened to me because of it. Don’t let them scare you

Well:
1. It will ruin your eyesight
2. Sometimes if you play a video game that is just too interesting and addicting, your kidneys could explode from not noticing when to urinate
3. Depends what kind of Video Games you play. Lets take Gears of War 3 as an example. Gears of War 3 is kind of violent so that means if you keep playing it, you might become more violent
4. You could get addicted too much to make you do not so good things
Otherwise than that nothing is wrong with video games

Video games alone can’t kill you… but if you combine playing too many video games with eating unhealthily, never exercising or socialising etc., it would be very bad for your health and you could end up having a heart attack or something.
But just playing video games can’t kill you, that’s stupid.
Everything in moderation

Video games alone will NOT kill you, that’s crap lol.
However, if you aren’t eating healthily or not exercising, that’s the point where you should get worried. It could lead to high blood pressure, which could lead to kidney problems or heart problems (which is something serious).

The games themselves cannot kill you, but not eating, drinking water, or sleeping because you’re playing games can kill you. Regardless, and as much as I’d love to just sit around doing nothing else, video games should be taken in moderation just like all things.

I believe the answer is yes, I ‘m sure if you played long enough it would affect your brain. Personally I’ve played some games for like 8hrs straight and nothing crazy happened. I’m sure it would effect ur eyes if you played for like a day straight. its different for different people. A lady I knew couldn’t play halo for too long or she would get dizzy .
Who knows.
