Update 3 (Research)

I have also accomplished a great deal of research in this field. This doesn't just mean I've been playing other games and have been keeping a detailed journal but it also means scholarly research and articles I pulled off the Internet. The great deal of my research actually proves my thesis statement of saying that Video games do not actually cause increased levels of aggression or violence with increased play. I would chalk this up to usually just luck of finding the right articles but 18 of my 20 articles support this theme with the exception of one scholarly and one popular article. Regardless I have completed a half draft of my paper and this will be my last blog post with the exception of one or two more if I can think of anything else to update the upcoming days. Stay tuned if you actually like to see my finished paper I'll put it up as soon as I finish it. Have a good day.

Update 2 (Accomplishments)

Over the past thirty days I have actually accomplished quite a few things. I have raised my grades considerably with all of the free time I have had to replace. I also have started a new relationship and increased my roles in both the fraternity and the radio station I am working at. Everything that I have accomplished makes me want to keep the controller aside but it will be great to finally blow off some steam again. But regardless that is my accomplishment update.

Update 1

Well it is officially the last day and I am proud to say that I have made it all the way through my experiment. I avoided playing a first person shooting game for 30 days! I am actually quite proud of this achievement because I broke my ridiculous obsession with the industry for an entire month. I will be sitting down at midnight to play a game of Call of Duty but I am just happy to say I can set aside the controller for the sake of life. I will have a few more updates on what I have accomplished and what I have learned from research before the end of the night.
