Again, this is all a nonsensical straw man, since I doubt you can find a single "study" which evaluates an actual strategy game against any of the things you listed. What you're condescendingly throwing out are comparisons of social activities vs FPS and whatever the popular game-of-the-moment is. No one is arguing that the majority of those types of games are stimulating, but your assertion that in-depth strategy games are inferior to a game of chess or "pool" is quite simply laughable.
Yes, because "Head Shot!" and "Time to teabag the noob!" are so applicable to Europa Universalis, and everybody plays The Operational Art of War for "the pretty colors!".
Again, statements like that pretty much prove you've never played anything more in-depth than a Sid Meier strategy game, and simply don;t understand what you're talking about.
head shot and the like is definitely and FPS thing--I hate FPS>
as I said, several times, I much prefer strategy and RTS and the like.
I don't think you've actually read a single one of my points--it's a simple issue of graphics--the comparison between TV and reading--books that allow your brain to fill in the gaps (visual pictures of the subject), and TV that does all of that for you.
Simply--it depends far less of your brain when such gratuitous visual stimulation is involved.
Unless your seriously complex PC strategy games are completely text-based, then you have yet to address a single one of my arguments.
straw man? lol, hardly.
