Here's an article about how girls that played video games, especial with their Dads, were better behaved, felt more connected to their families, felt less aggressive, and demonstrated decreased levels of internalizing, which can lead to depression. Granted, the study was for girls ages 11 to 16 and Julia's been playing for two years now, but it's time well spent!
I guess I've always had a problem with a lot of movies, music, tv shows and other entertainment that a lot of people love. I'm looking forward to ruining your favorite things.
