Hi, my name is Nick.
As a gamer myself, I am currently studying the experience of video games for the thesis of my psychology master and am in need of your help!
Would you fill out my questionnaire about video gamers and help me graduate??

RSQ-EN

Eternal Gratitude!! Nick
 
A questionnaire about mixing up video games with reality on a Japan-specific forum! A missed chance; you could've investigated dating sims like Love Plus, a game that encourages this behaviour by making you say sweet words to your DS (as in, literally speak into the microphone) and kiss its screen. :)

That's right, this man married the virtual schoolgirl of his dreams, in real life. Of course, to be fair, this is only one case out of who knows how many players.

Somehow I don't think the creators of Pong had this in mind...
If it sells, it will be made. I'm not even going to mention what other kind of simulation games exist beyond this; it gets pretty dark. Then again, people say the same about Grand Theft Auto... And just like GTA clearly doesn't turn players into criminals except for a handful of isolated cases, I doubt these games have much real-life effect either.
