Modern youth every day is more and more interested in computer games and game consoles. Everyone has their own reasons for this. Some want to show off their keyboard skills in front of their classmates and friends. Others try to assert themselves in this way. The third lacks impressions, and games allow at least a virtual look at something new. Fourth, while playing computer games, they want to acquire skills and abilities that can be useful to them in life. And for the fifth, it turned into a real mania: as soon as another new product appears, the gamer will not calm down until he passes it. But why? "Easy Useful" will help you figure it out.

Are there any benefits of playing computer games?

It is impossible to give an unambiguous answer to this question. There is an opinion that computer games develop reaction and fine motor skills. Unfortunately, this is not entirely true. The only thing a player can learn is to accurately hit the keys without looking at the keyboard or gamepad (remote for the game). However, only developers, and even people who are engaged in public play for money - the so-called "let-players" and "streamers" derive practical benefit from their hobby.

Gone are the days when you could rewrite a fashionable game from a friend to your disc or download a pirated version on the Internet. Today, only the simplest games or outdated versions can be obtained this way. To protect themselves from cyberpirates, developers put up their freshly advertised creations for sale on major gaming industry marketplaces such as Steam, GOG and some others. It is enough for a company to spend money on good anti-hacker protection - and thousands of players, deprived of pirated versions, will go to buy a new product.

Here is another way for manufacturers to earn money: a store can be added to the game, where the player gets access to various closed features of the gameplay for virtual money. These can be additional artifacts, new locations, or so-called skins - design options. If there is not enough in-game currency, a gamer can buy an additional one by paying quite real rubles.

In addition to manufacturers, professional players earn money on games. Letsplayers go through various games by popular demand of the audience and film it on video. "Streamers" do the same, but at the same time, they communicate with their viewers directly during the process, as if they are reporting. In both cases, viewers are unobtrusively invited to support the player financially (in slang - "donate", from the English donate - donate money), and in return he will release more videos. Sometimes letsplayers and streamers enter into a contract with developers and play games for promotional purposes in order to increase their popularity.

There is a myth that the average player can also benefit by playing, for example, in an online casino. Alas, for the most part, such establishments, like real casinos, only lure money from a gullible person, after which they block access to the site under one pretext or another.

Games and mental disorders

There are hundreds of thousands of "toys" on the market. Some of them - logical or attentive - do not harm the players if they do not spend long hours at the screen. Many games, on the contrary, develop the logical thinking and horizons of the player. There are games that do not increase a person's knowledge, but help in the development of imaginative thinking, teach you to focus on the little things.

Unfortunately, many people, especially teenagers and young people, often find such games boring and ask for spectacular spectacles, speed, and shooting. Not everyone will like to perform the same actions, putting together a puzzle. Because of this, various kinds of horrors (from the English horror - horror), shooters (from the English shoot - to shoot) and thrillers (from the English thrill - trembling, awe) are born - video games, the plot of which is designed to put pressure on the player's psyche as much as possible.


Many young people will chuckle skeptically: they have heard more than once that "shooters" turn people into serial killers, but they refuse to believe it. Indeed, in a psychologically stable, prosperous, sane person, terrible and bloody games will not cause a desire to go and kill people. However, there are many people at risk in society: disadvantaged, victims of violence, people suffering from nervous and mental illnesses. They have carnage on the screen can provoke an aggravation, and the consequences can be dire.

Games take time

Even for mentally healthy people, computer games pose a number of non-obvious threats. Let's give an example from real life: a person often plays a network "toy" (an online game with the ability to play against real opponents), participates in various virtual events. For activity, he is offered free access to previously hidden opportunities.

The gamer, of course, agrees, after which they send him the conditions of the promotion. Most often, they say that a person must win a certain number of victories in a strictly allotted time. Otherwise, he will be able to try out the update for a certain amount, which is required for the purchase - full or partial. The conditions of the promotion are always harsh: the player is forced to either abandon his idea, or play literally for days on end.

However, not only hardcore gamers are burning hours of life in the online world. Ordinary players also spend a lot of time passing the next level. Even if you play an hour or two a day, it's already 14 hours a week, and 60 a month. It turns out that you give almost three days to the game. It's worth it?

Games with paid content are dangerous

Games with paid content are especially dangerous: even an adult player will not resist the temptation to "pump" his character for a small amount, and there is no need to talk about children. Not wanting to lag behind classmates who have already bought all the best artifacts, a student can spend pocket money or take money from their parents without asking.

However, not every child dares to get into the parent's wallet, but many, as practice shows, willingly agree to the offer of strangers on the Internet to "earn some money." Of course, such offers come from intruders, and the income is to make "bookmarks" (hiding places) with prohibited substances or send naked photos of yourself. When such outrageous cases come to light, parents are amazed to the core that their quiet straight-A student or sportswoman agreed to such a monstrous salary in order to buy virtual nonsense in the game.

How to get rid of gambling addiction

If you feel that your passion for computer games is turning into an addiction, try to break this vicious circle at the first dangerous signs. As soon as the games lose their attraction for you, you can return to them again, but already as a winner. They have lost power over you, now you and only you are the master of your life.

What is the root cause of morbid passion for computer games? Most often, a person is fond of them in such cases:

  • when bored;
  • with a lack of communication;
  • with the inability or unwillingness to build normal relationships.

In the first case, a sharp rejection of games will help. Other hobbies, sometimes completely unexpected, can fill the resulting void. Are you so passionate about the game that you began to perceive its characters as real people? Wonderful! What happened to them after you left? Take a thick notebook and a pen (for this period it is very important to generally minimize the use of any technical devices) and sketch out the plot. Oh, this is already interesting! Well, let's add some details... "Look, I didn't even know they could do something like this..." After a while, you will have in your hands a unique fan fiction (fan's work based on a book or game), incomparably more exciting than any game.

In the second case, there is only one cure - to find friends and a new social circle outside the world of games. Today there are many interest groups in social networks, and in the real world. It will be useful to sign up for training, dancing, right-brain painting classes or a programming circle. All these classes are held for both adults and children, so they will be useful for former gamers of any age. Spend more time with family and friends, and even better - become a volunteer and help people and animals in trouble. Once you feel that you are needed in the real world, you will no longer want to return to the virtual one.

In the third case, to get rid of addiction to games, you will need a good psychologist and a change of team. It is a long and, no doubt, difficult process, at the end of which you will be surprised at the changes that have taken place in you.

Why is the game so attractive? In it, you can always press pause, go through an unsuccessful episode again, and if nothing works, remove the hated disk out of sight. The habit of playing freedom often leads to the fact that real life seems too complicated, and a person becomes isolated in the game world. Do not be afraid to go to a psychologist: it does not label you as mentally ill. A competent specialist will help you during conversations, therapeutic tasks and, by the way, games, but not computer games, to regain self-confidence and interest in life.

Does an intellectual need to humble his thoughts on the path to God, how to respect human freedom, do heresies exist today, and why not everyone will be saved, patrologist Alexei SIDOROV, professor at the Moscow Theological Academy, argues.

Recently, Harvard Divinity School professor Karen King, in an interview with the author of the Smithsonian magazine, stated that she does not recognize the term "heretical" in principle and is ready to consider the Gnostic sects of the 1st - 4th centuries. like trends in Christianity. Is it fair to say that there were many different denominations in the days of the ancient Christians?

- What attracts in Gnosticism today? Mystic? Beautiful names? Immoralism?

First of all, about immorality or immorality. In Gnosticism, there were sects of both a libertine and a purely ascetic plan, categorically denying everything bodily; the latter, as far as I can tell, were more. But both extremes are alien to Orthodoxy, in the moral teaching of which great attention has always been paid and is being paid to the body and the bodily, as a creation of God. At the same time, it is prescribed to treat sin very severely, which, after the fall, was mixed with the carnal principle in man, corrupting at the same time his spiritual principle. Therefore, Orthodox asceticism and Gnostic "hyperasceticism" are not only purely different categories, but also radically opposite.

As for the interest in Gnosticism, today there is indeed an increased interest in this ancient heresy, however, it seems to me, it is noticeable among relatively few and, in general, marginal intellectuals. At one time, I, unfortunately, also paid tribute to this intellectual charms(that is, "over-flattering", lies), having read more than one hundred works in different languages, interpreting various aspects of this heretical movement. I see the main reason for this interest in the fact that the human vain mind, which has lost the main landmark of being as a result of the fall, always wants something “such”, instead of striving for God, it is carried away by the “whirling of thoughts”, which gave rise to ancient Gnosticism. But the same “whirling of thoughts” captivates modern man: he gladly indulges himself in the “bead game”. You can play this game all your life, but it completely obscures the main question of our earthly and quickly transient earthly life: how to be saved? And if we do not pose such a question and do not give an answer to it, then the whole life here is lived in vain by us and loses all its meaning. And the answer to this main question of human life is found only in Orthodoxy, where the unity of "theory" (that is, speculation) and "practice" (that is, moral life) is an unshakable postulate. I do it firmly and on experience I know, because I myself “whirled with thoughts” for a long time.

What forms should apologetics take today? Should it more “rigidly” assert the Orthodox point of view, or, on the contrary, call for dialogue and clarification of positions?

Without apologetics it is impossible for the Church to exist, and Orthodox thinking is always apologetic to some extent. After all, the Orthodox Church has always lived, lives and will live either in an indifferent or hostile world. After all, the Lord Himself said: "Do not be afraid, little flock." There are always very few Orthodox and they are surrounded by the ever-changing sea of ​​life. And how it will change sometimes depends on us: on our apologetics both in life and in word. What matters is the form this apologetics takes. Personally, I do not accept the word "hardness". Of course, heresies and errors must be exposed, but mainly with love and meekness. Naturally, it happens that those who are mistaken stubbornly do not want to deviate from their error, and then it is hardly necessary to "cast pearls before swine." However, if it is possible to turn a person to repentance, that is, to a change in his entire way of life and thinking, then “rigidity” can only do harm. It should always be remembered that adherence to principles and rigidity are different things. Both in history and at the present time there have been and are met, for example, confessors, both strict and affectionate, but both of them are principled, and therefore many are converted to repentance. Likewise, an apologist can be strict or soft, but he must always be principled. Undoubtedly, it is necessary to denounce heresies, both present and past. Although in the strict sense of the word there are almost no "past" heresies: they have a steady tendency to always be reborn, albeit in a somewhat new guise. In particular, the same Gnosticism, which in modern times is being revived in various forms of anthroposophy and theosophy. Origenism is also akin to it (especially the doctrine of "apocatastasis" - the salvation of all), which is trying to be reborn in modern times. The apologist must clearly realize that the new guise of an old heresy does not change its essence in the least.

What books would you recommend to a modern intellectual who is skeptical, and even hostile towards the Church, but who does not know the Church?

Although this is not entirely correct, I would like to answer the question with a question: are there medicines that are suitable for everyone? We do not know through which book the Voice of God will call (if it calls) us. At one time I was inspired to study Christianity by Plotinus, a very refined and "elitist" philosopher, in whom I was actively engaged. Then the book of Father Pavel Florensky "The Pillar and Ground of the Truth" and "Confession" by Blessed Augustine played an important role. All these thinkers are very different, but apparently for some reason it was through them that it was necessary to convert me to Orthodoxy. And another person can be led to the only Truth by a very simple book: he will reveal, for example, the "Law of God" - and his life will change. The main thing is that a person - whether an intellectual, or "not very intellectual" - would sincerely seek this Truth; even if he errs, the Lord will lead him to the right path. The books you need will come. And if he does not seek, but simply admires his intellect and therefore questions everything, then this is the case about which the Lord said: “Let the dead bury their dead.” Every person has a great gift of God - free will. And if the Lord respects her and does not step over human freedom, then all the more we must respect her in every possible way.

The best point-and-click computer games.

One of the most beloved and memorable computer games is graphic adventures. They can take many forms, vary greatly in quality, but the stories, puzzles, and sense of humor in these games are usually top notch.

The following games are the best combination of all three, whether you're investigating a sinister occult murder in New Orleans or chasing a murderous clown all over Paris.

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars

George Stobbart, an American tourist in Paris, nearly died in a cafe explosion. He takes it upon himself to catch the culprit and, along with journalist Nicole Kollar, becomes involved in a conspiracy involving an ancient cult.

This atmospheric adventure ingeniously weaves a captivating real story into a captivating storyline with clever puzzles, a likeable hero and a very funny scenario. Broken Sword is the perfect start to get into this genre of games.

The Secret of Monkey Island

Guybrush Threepwood is a charming, energetic and slightly goofy guy who wants to become a pirate, and you will need to help make this dream a reality.

Filled with colorful characters, absurd puzzles, and quote-breaking dialogue, this classic adventure from Lucasfilm Games makes this game one of the best in its genre. And the insult swordfighting mini-game, in which you exchange ridiculous insults with rival pirates, deserves a special mention.

Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

Despite the presence of humor, the first part of the adventures of Gabriel Knight is the most serious of all the games that I mentioned earlier. Playing as a titled knight, voiced by Tim Curry, you investigate a series of sinister occult murders in New Orleans.

The game has an amazing neo-noir, and the further the knight plunges into the investigation, the more strange things become around. Just don't touch the remake, but play the original version.

Day of the Tentacle

This adventure takes place in three different eras: colonial America, "our" days (circa 1993), and a distant future ruled by evil tentacles. Each of these eras has an impact on puzzle design.

The three playable characters can change things in the past to change the future, and trade items through time. But be careful: the game can be insanely difficult, it will force you to use the guide. But humor is great for keeping anger at bay.

Thimbleweed Park

Developed by adventure game veteran Ron Gilbert, this epic character-driven adventure is set entirely in the fictional city of Thimbleweed Park. The open structure means you can step back from the puzzle that was giving you trouble and try another one.

This allows you to enjoy the leisurely pace of the game. In addition, the puzzles are incredibly enjoyable to solve, avoiding the powerful brainstorming that most even good adventure games provoke.

This adventure not only contains puzzles, but also tells one of the best gaming stories in recent years. This is a story about a girl with the ability to turn back time, which she uses for both small things like fixing a small mistake, and more serious things like saving her city from destruction.

The Last Express

Set on the Orient Express in 1914 on the eve of World War I, this adventure takes you back in time. It covers the political and social issues of the time, as well as an intriguing mystery for you to solve.

The interface and way of navigating the train is a little confusing, and the fact that the game unfolds in real time sometimes makes you feel a little too stressed, so this game is for experienced adventurers.

Avoid this game

Police Quest: Open Season

There's something special about Sierra's Police Quest series that gives you the opportunity to play as a cop, but Open Season is the part that's best avoided.

Despite the interesting backstory - you're a detective from Los Angeles investigating a series of murders in the city - everything is too clumsy and poorly drawn, and also terribly written. The idea of ​​following police procedures is fun at first, but you soon forget about it. The game is not worth attention, even with the innovations.
