[QUOTE="Foundry of Decay, post: 4367247, member: 846"] Looking for scientific or psychological evidence here is far, far beyond the scope of these boards. The thread would close if anyone required data or a degree in psychology or any of the major sciences. Seeing as I'm being handwaved to the 'irrelevant' category is rather insulting I find. But I've learned not to bother trying to argue about what people do and don't find relevant online (Since I have yet to see many actually relevant arguments online at all, INCLUDING this one). But your entitled to how you perceive his post, as am I. I'm not going to type out again what I have before. Other than to say that I agree with some points made by the OP. I outright refuse to justify my experiences to anyone. As in, don't bother replying with an argument related specifically to the experiences that I had posted in regards to Warcraft's effects on my imagination. First hand experiences trumps any conjecture on anyone else's part. Even if they were to dangle a degree in psychology in front of me. Now, do I think Warcraft is creating a nation of zombies? Do I think TV is rotting the minds of people? Not really. Creation goes on despite these two phenomena and as pointed out by others, it always will. So is D&D the angelic song that will suddenly make every gamer out there more imaginative? Short answer, no. However I feel more creatively stimulated playing D&D than I ever did playing Warcraft or ANY other computer/online game. Take that for what you may, but its what my experiences have been these past 20 years of computer/D&D gaming. And yes, they are relevant. [/QUOTE]
