Tragic Video Gaming Deaths

The human brain collects and obtains a series of stimulations which help with perception, comprehension, and cognition. Video games help users think, remember, and even solve problems both efficiently and effectively. Playing video games can also build an articulate rapport, improve concentration, boost memory, and even strengthen your brain’s ability to multitask. They can also ease, as well as, eliminate anxiety and depression. However, what are the negative effects and disadvantages of playing video games?

Do video games truly foster violence, addiction, and paranoia? As the ultimate form of escapism, they offer tangible and spiritual enhancements to perceptual processes, while also playing a prominent role in popular and digital culture. However, the pressing question remains: can playing them lead to fatal consequences or cause harm to others?

Video games introduce you to a multi-dimensional world with a reciprocated exchange and interface. With all of the strengths video gaming plays in the world of entertainment—what happens when a player’s biochemical pathway is compromised?

It was truly an honor to write the third episode for the Even Salt Looks Like Sugar podcast and I had a wonderful time doing so. In addition to writing this episode (which I wrote using my phone via iPhone notes), I co-produced this episode. And I am also featured. Hosted by Iranian-Canadian producer Billy Housh, this episode delivers some of best production, projection, and overall engagement I have ever heard or experienced in a true crime podcast. It was put together very well. I am definitely looking forward to seeing this project move upward and forward as it is simply fantastic.

Check out Episode 3: Tragic Video Gaming Deaths on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Audible, Google Podcasts, Spreaker, YouTube, Stitcher, Breaker, and wherever you find fine podcasts. If you love true crime, paranormal activity, and unsolved mysteries you will love the podcast Even Salt Looks Like Sugar.

Remember, not everything in life is what it seems because Even Salt Looks Like Sugar. Listen if you dare. I hope you are having a wonderful day and weekend.

Incredible podcast. Billy’s voice is so dark and weird yet haunting and captivating. Really delivers the stories well.

I loved your segment. I really wish you were the host. I do like the host of this but your voice is perfect for podcasting. I never knew this about video games. My husband plays Call of Duty all of the time. He’s excited for Playstation 5. Talks about it almost everyday. Amazing podcast.

This is so sad. It makes me think twice before playing video games again.

I love video games but there is definitely a limit on things. I loved this podcast. I’m a true crime junkie but I love video games and never once heard of anyone dying of video games before. This is definitely the best podcast I’ve heard. I subscribed to you on Spotify.

I had no idea video games can do this. I guess I have a lot to learn about gaming it seems.

This is probably my favorite podcast episode ever. I would be curious to know more in-depth info about each of the deaths. Any new updates and anyone who has died since the mentioned parties.

They (Billy and Sarah) did a part two on this episode and mentioned other gamers who have died. This could be a podcast series by itself. This is one of my favorite podcast episodes ever. It’s put together so well.

I love playing video games, and it's something I do often. However, this particular podcast episode really had me thinking twice about my gaming habits. It served as a reminder that we all need to practice moderation in our lives - particularly when it comes to engaging with digital media like video games. The next time I want to play Call of Duty, for instance, I think I'll set myself a timer so that I won't get carried away!

Too much gaming can be a real problem. If you spend too much time playing video games, it could have serious consequences for your physical and mental health. Not only can extended periods of gaming lead to fatigue, headaches, neck and back pain, but it can also cause depression and anxiety. Additionally, when someone spends excessive amounts of time glued to their screen playing video games instead of engaging in hobbies or activities, they are depriving themselves from the activities that are so important for your overall wellbeing. This podcast episode serves as an important reminder that there's more to life than just gaming - make sure that you're taking care of yourself both physically and mentally by limiting your game time and pursuing other interests too. This podcast episode was truly fantastic. I'm already looking forward to the next one and can't wait to hear what else Billy and Sarah have in store for us.
