zonen christina both twenty two met through online gaming during a tournament called point blank she played against sergei but couldn't beat him using a keyboard mouse but she managed to defeat him offline while he was. christina turned out to be stronger and. we started talking. time he already had to go. and sure was. now kristina is here with him at every place where sergey qualifies even though she is his most devoted fan she won't play on the same team as him. the same as working to get a thought and means well. then maybe he needs that. said

the video games market has been crazy those short few years have truly been a quantum leap in terms of the technology and the experiences we offer people. according to business development manager today of the turnover in today's online games market in russia is about one billion dollars and it's showing no signs of slowing down. turns as if reality is an interesting concept the idea has been bounced around for the past twenty years it implies that there is a brighter layer set apart from the world which exists only inside the human brain we get connected to this virtual reality by means of a computer or potentially through some other interface like virtual reality headset it's online games are just another facet of. psychologists are wary of the advance of this new alternative reality their observations suggest that online games can provoke a levels of aggression particularly shooting games. if

a person gets used to certain reactions they'll become the norm for him as long as everything is ok in his life he keeps them in remote areas of his personal life he can separate different areas of reality but if for example tomorrow they'll be some sort of tragedy or some sort of anger or aggression in this person's life that can become a trigger that will mix up all these realities. have a different argument they don't see a direct link between aggression in games and in real life. it is unusually ready to stab someone with a knife then a computer game is not to be blamed he is ready to stab someone with a knife regardless of computer games with the murderers of the one nine hundred centuries for example didn't play any games on the p.c. but still murder their victims. the gamers themselves are not concerned with such

arguments their goal is simple they just want to win. i think it's just a myth made up by people by parents who say that their child spends too much time on the computer. or whatever. but that's just nonsense it's a myth. but it is not a myth for the folk in family in kiev elaina. is a manager at a printing company she has two children twelve year old alexander and seven year old alexy their mother raises them alone but spends most of her time at war. games and lost track of the time he spent on the internet.

trying to conceal his hobby from anyone. that's. a blanket that. the ukrainian t.v. channel s.t.b. reported on the two boys that misbehavior alexander and alexi devote all their free time to online games and the imbalance can be seen in every sphere of their lives such as their diet they feast on an endless and unhealthy mixture of junk food and sweets. hello. we've carried out

a diagnostic program and now we know how your children are going to look when they are forty would you be interested to see the results and of course. psychologist help set new rules in the home now alexander is allowed to spend no more than one hour on the computer there's a complete ban on violent video games in the house in the morning preferably oatmeal and a low calorie food for lunch like boiled meat and vegetables. but alexander doesn't take kindly to the changes he refuses to eat the food given to him and rushes to the computer after his meals when she gets home from work and their mother has no time to control the situation psychologist to believe that

because of alexander intellects he's filing behavior at such a young age they could end up as criminals in later life. what are you doing to well there. i have several pictures here the younger brother alexei was drawing a tree but he ended up drawing an axe. in this picture alexander house but he finished drawing an x. now you could have doubts about it but the boy took that piece of paper and began using it as an axe. these are the systems computer computers all of us there's also something. you love yet so you were good. at that as if i was that.

alexander has been raised by his mother who had one point missed out on his upbringing and when she had the chance to take the situation under her control she failed to do so and it seems to me that she didn't do it because she doesn't want to. as a result a harsh outlook on life took root in the boy's impressionable but unchallenged minds yet. twenty nine year old lawyer for a moscow pharmaceutical company dimitri vinogradova spent many hours playing violent computer games on november seventh two thousand and twelve she took two shotguns to work. just eight hundred seconds for him to shoot all of his colleagues down in cold blood six people died. in a crowd favorite game was manhunt now banned in many european countries. the murderer posted his guiding principle on his social network profile page i hate

of the brain response of all exclusively for emotions. and then what can go inside other parts left brain responsible for rational behavior. that is those sections that help us keep restraint and be pragmatic with our emotions those parts start to shrink. in other words it is argued that computer addiction leads to motional stress and emotional stress leads to murder. is a common opinion among psychologists while psychiatry seem to disagree the brain institute of the russian academy of sciences does not confirm that prolonged exposure to computer games on a daily basis leads to physical changes in the brain which is going to go i don't believe that there are some structures found in the brain of computer addicks that are responsible for this sort of addiction well they may have something to do with addiction but i can easily show you addicted people without any changes in their

brain. this is the singular gyrus indicating it with a curse or cure it is it's pretty big. it's responsible for developing addictions but we don't know yet to what extent. should. tell you the truth i've never wanted to use something i learned from the games in practice or in real life that is to say if there's a fight in a game that i don't feel the urge to take and shoot someone in the head. for me there's a distinct between reality and what's on screen. when they see a star in p.r. and screen it means i can't. give the reality is a cyber tournaments so far his team has been doing well they've made it to the

finals soon they'll know who they will face in the final battle. it seems most likely that they'll be up against the said nation team. but it will be very difficult for the guys this is one of the most difficult steps on the way to the finals of the championship. they should makes it through to the final after a decisive victory. but. we have the will to defeat those who seem stronger than us so you play to one hundred percent and then two hundred percent those guys pushed hard and really

kicked our butts but it was what we needed. now the two teams rocks and said nation will come face to face in virtual combat the big question of the season is whether the long standing underdogs will this time prevail. and admission free accreditation free transport charges free. range months three risk free studio types free. download free broadcast plug in video for your media projects a free media oh god r.t. dot com in. the mean speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on the. scene from the world's hot spots the v.o.i.p. interviews intriguing stories for you to. see if in trying.

tall strong and ready to defeat all enemies who stand in his way that's how alexander's in call appears online behind the keyboard however the twenty seven year old gamer from minsk is wheelchair bound and suffers from cerebral palsy the computer is his only window on the world and his only chance to constantly train

his muscles and exercises intellect it is hard for him to talk this is the only way he can communicate. or. hear this. new will. grow up madison. who. alexander's in cause a favorite game is lineage two he spends twelve hours a day online. oh hello. hello

alexander. you know where your sasha. robert and alexander met ten years ago as they grew up in the same apartment block since then they talk every day. of the house lynage i've not played in a while. that level ninety eight. it was robert who first introduced alexander to the game which is now part of his daily routine alexander quickly mastered it and has even surpassed his friend. don't go to manuel seal out alexander doesn't want me to go of course he doesn't. want to have some free time right now i have so much work already called me on skype or something's

up. banks everyone but you don't think you are reasonable and don't forget come back could buy. and that's also probably xander his computer the internet are everything to him it's the place where he works. plays meets up with friends basically everything. this game is everything to him. currently lineage two is one of the most successful projects in russia and the c.i.s. countries games are basically endless they're constantly being updated over the course of several years. localization of a game is not just about translation such games have no wind so every new detail must maintain the player's interest for instance designers draw inspiration from classical art form. as much as move on you know when we were planning to make

a project with. design. where we selected paintings by google and bosch as references. for what i mean to say is that we were inspired by those works when working on the project of that. in the game the hero's appearance can be changed along with his costume and race in russia hundreds of thousands of people play the game daily it gets updated at least once a month giving players new opportunities like buying virtual clothes with money. at all for the designs to players maybe organize competition. no competition is not a very good idea we could make a poll for users show them the pictures put them to a vote but see a maximum of three then the best three are made and the next time we do another three.

fans of the game and meet up at a special party sporting the costumes and makeup of the. avatar's online. pursuit of my wife maria makes the costumes i deal with the weapons. in medical physicist and i'm assigned as a near. every character has either black or white wings players use them to show which faction they belong to they also serve as a reminder that within the game their characters are able to fly. at the party the players divide themselves into groups of allies and adversaries then take part in games on the dance floor and have as much fun as possible. the boundaries between the real world and of the virtual seem to dissolve sometimes video games overshadow everything else. it happens when you lose track of time when

you play the game long after midnight and you have to go to work early in the morning. computer game is not just something you should point your finger at and prohibit but people must understand that it could be dangerous the most important thing is not to overstep the boundary of. cyber sportsmen are at risk of some very specific injuries depending on their game of choice the intense daily training can lead to anything from a deterioration of vision to muscle cramps even in their office break down. these guys have their eyes set on taking the throne of king of the hill everyone will. determine in she has reached its climax and said nation are facing off in the final of the point blank turn of it. now let's welcome to the stage.

sergei's known to everyone as the negative and he plans to live up to his name in front of the crowd. doesn't go as expected for kids their chief live nation begin to rack up point point. it seems to be. a breakthrough comes quite unexpectedly. even though they. managed to regain its rank.

blast after the first map i thought we were going to have a preliminary final and then the second come back and then the third. such a rush. tried. both sides i think because in one match it was for. the balance. while we started to. see a nation defeated victory in the point blank final minutes six thousand dollars for sergei. this is victory opens the way for new challenges but sergei and christina realize of course that they can't keep playing forever.

i would like to be a referee for example or a community. with news and media news communicating with players and. companies sign and develop. i have big plans for the future in the short term it involves working with a company organizing these contests both local global tournaments. so. the army of gamers is growing very fast right in front of our eyes. of course there are going to be more tournaments and the prize money will increase. for the moment sergey bids on is a lucky there are few gamers out of the millions of players in the world who are able to earn a living through this activity. when saving for a change they can there you. go to on june first we'll have our wedding.

and we're leaving for our honeymoon in the canaries right after that or somewhere else it's a great idea plenty of time. there is all the time in the world to play games but not enough for everything else away from the computer sooner or later and gamers will have to put down the keyboard if they don't they may end up losing something important that can't be fixed with a reset button. good luck. was able to build a most sophisticated. found anything mission to teach me. to care about humans and. this is why you should care

only. there are twelve cities in the united states in which half of the people with hiv aids lives. with this is a problem that. it was like the big elephant in the room and nobody wanted to talk about they were really good public health campaigns that people were really focused on this problem you certainly should be able. to see the story. and the. other part of it and realized. the big picture.
