2:34 am
turnover in today's online games market is about one billion dollars and it's showing no signs of slowing down. the alternatives a 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 a 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 games are just another facet of. that. 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
2:35 am
can separate different areas of reality but if for example tomorrow will 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. 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 but 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
2:36 am
a myth. but it is not a myth for the folk in family in kiev elaina. he's 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 were eventually her son alexander became totally immersed in online games and lost all track of the time he spent on the internet and. alexander doesn't try to conceal his hobby from anyone.
2:37 am
who. reported on the two boys of misbehavior alexander and alexey devote 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. now we know how your children are going to look when they are forty would you be interested to see the results.
2:38 am
psychologists 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 believe that because of alexander intellects he's violent behavior at such a young age they could end up as criminals in later life. during their.
2:39 am
i have several pictures here the younger brother alexei was drawing a tree but he ended up drawing an x. . 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 x. . probably most computer. for most of these systems computer computers all of us dozens of them you're down on them. yet so you did. that i did say 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
2:40 am
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 eighteen 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 society and i can't stand being part of it. i hate this life i see only one way to fix it kill as many of the scum as possible.
2:41 am
profile names demitra vinogradov. look year of birth nine hundred eighty three where we born in moscow. are you married no children no what weapons were on your person. twelve and benelli i'm sorry. six months before the incident vinogradova had suffered from depression had seen a psychologist and was taking antidepressants. today scientists in russia and around the world are looking into how computer games especially violent ones can affect the media particularly in people with mental health problems. and the doll is part of the brain responsible exclusively for emotions that it wants. and then what it can grow inside is the other hard stuff brain responsible for rational behavior. that is those sections that help us keep our strain to be pragmatic with
2:42 am
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 i'm indicating it with the cursor here it is and it's pretty big. it's responsible for developing addictions but we don't know yet
2:43 am
to what extent. should. tell you the truth i've never wanted to use something i learned from the games and practice in real life that is to say if there's a fight in the game but i don't feel the urge to take it and shoot someone in the head. oh 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
2:44 am
be very difficult for the guys this is one of the most difficult steps on the way to the finals of this championship. six nation 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 played to one hundred percent and then two hundred percent of those guys pushed hard and really kicked our butts but it was what we needed. now the two teams rocks and zed 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.

2:49 am
free time right now i have so much work already i was on or called me on skype or something's up. banks everyone but you look thank you rob he's a bit don't forget come back good bye. prowl xander his computer the internet are everything to him it's the place where he works. play. meets up with friends basically everything. this game is everything to him. currently lineage to is one of the most successful projects in russia and the c.i.s. countries online games are basically endless their cost to 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
2:50 am
classical art form. we were planning to make a project with. design. where we selected paintings by google and bosch as references. to. 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. we can offer the designs to players maybe organize a 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 let's see
2:51 am
a maximum of three then the best three are made and the next time we do another three. fans of the game a meet up at a special party sporting the costumes and make up of their heroic avatars online. for super my wife maria makes the costumes by deal with the weapons sign in medical physicist and i'm a sound engineer. 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
2:52 am
video games overshadow everything else. that happens when you least track a time when you play the game long after midnight and you have to go to work early in the morning. game is not just something you should point your finger at and prohibit but people must understand that it could be dangerous and the most important thing is not to overstep the boundary. sportsmen are at risk of some very specific injuries depending on their game of choice daily training can lead to anything from deterioration of vision to muscle cramps even a nervous breakdown. of the cup these guys have their eyes set on taking the throne of king of the hill everyone will. determine. its climax. nation are facing off in the final of the point blank.
2:53 am
now let's welcome team rock's kids to the stage. sergei's known and line as the negative and he plans to live up to his name in front of the crowd. doesn't go as expected for. their chief live nation to rack up point after point. it seems to be all over for. a breakthrough comes quite unexpectedly. even though they. managed to regain.
2:54 am
i'd cut your it was a complete 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. we tried the whole thing was neck and neck everyone was screaming on both sides i think because in one match it was four against one whole match set us back and swayed the balance they got a boost while we started to weaken a bit of. a nation defeated victory in the point blank final minutes six thousand dollars for sergei bids on his team this is victory opens the way for new
2:55 am
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 manager dealing with news and media and it's communicating with players and localization companies and developers that. i have big plans for the future in the short term it involves working with a company organizing these contests both local and global tournaments. so. the army of gamers is growing very fast right in front of our eyes with what in the goals of course there are going to be more tournaments and the price money will increase. for the moment sergey bids on is lucky there are few gamers out of the millions of players in the world who are able to earn a living through this activity. where saving for they can their you. spend.
2:56 am
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 any 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. juggling
