Finally, proof.

Are violent video games affecting those who play them? That question has been asked a thousand times in the last several years as video games become ubiquitous. Can playing a violent video game make a child (or even an adult) act out in real life? Scientific studies have started and the results are rolling in.
Here is a quote from one of the scientists in a recent study.
"It was just amazing," says Weber, who, as the group's methodologist, has been analyzing the data by comparing, in 24-second intervals, exactly what was on the computer screen with what was going on in the participants' brains. "It was like they were unaware of anything but the game." Though it's too early to draw definite conclusions, Weber says he thinks "we can see aggression-like brain activity when they play."

So many people don't want to believe it. Come on people! As Forrest Gump says, "Stupid is as stupid does..."
