This week GAB are looking at the benefits of gaming. We’ve almost drowned ourselves in discussing race and geek girls - and it’s high time we had a nice break to feel warm and fuzzy.

Lets remind ourselves of not only why we love gaming, but why it can be good for us.

We’ll be posting and linking things like the one above (source: http://visual.ly/gaming-good-you) here, and on our Twitter, Facebook & Website.
And you can share your questions and stories with us by dropping us an Ask.

Merry Gaming :)

Me and my sibilings are homeschooled,  and you know what taught my little brother to read/ write? Minecraft. He plays on servers and had to learn how to talk to people on the chats

quotes
“
Creating a life that reflects your values and satisfies your soul is a rare achievement. In a culture that relentlessly promotes avarice and excess as the good life, a person happy doing his own work is usually considered an eccentric, if not a subversive. Ambition is only understood if it’s to rise to the top of some imaginary ladder of success. Someone who takes an undemanding job because it affords him the time to pursue other interests and activities is considered a flake. A person who abandons a career in order to stay home and raise children is considered not to be living up to his potential-as if a job title and salary are the sole measure of human worth. You’ll be told in a hundred ways, some subtle and some not, to keep climbing, and never be satisfied with where you are, who you are, and what you’re doing. There are a million ways to sell yourself out, and I guarantee you’ll hear about them.

Private Garden Paradise in Chelsea | HomeDSGN

“the garden is simply spectacular. The mature, fully-landscaped rooftop spreads over 1,600 square feet on multiple levels with fascinating architectural elements, making for intimate seating areas, sensory dining opportunities and infinite possibilities for entertaining. A rare, sensory retreat in the heart of the city.”

I love plants and I love cities.  A garden like this would be paradise for me

[W]hen we launch in a territory the Bittorrent traffic drops as the Netflix traffic grows. So I think people do want a great experience and they want access – people are mostly honest. The best way to combat piracy isn’t legislatively or criminally but by giving good options. One of the side effects of growth of content is an expectation to have access to it. You can’t use the internet as a marketing vehicle and then not as a delivery vehicle.

This this this!

What I download goes down dramatically as my access increases! I downloaded a lot of stuff when I was living in a rural area before Netflix started. Now that Netflix streaming is available, as well as Amazon Prime Instant, I download dramatically less. I live in an even more remote area now where video stores are nearly 30 miles away and Redbox is almost 20. The closest movie theater is a crappy 3 screen that barely shows what I want to see. Even PBS is impossible to get where I live, so most of what I do download is currently airing TV shows. And I know that my access compared to that in other parts of my state, much less the country, is great.
