Can video games help deal with a fear of death?

PBS Game Show explores the history of death in video games and how it affects our psychology

Maybe its more of a fear of how I die rather than death itself...

Dying to old age is better than being eaten by a Dragon

Agreed, Death is inevitable and we cannot change that, how i go is what concerns me the most.

I wouldn't want to lie like a vegetable in bed for years, that is not a nice thought.

I haven't played much games, but u think its normal that I don't really fear death at all? I have had a few near misses on the bike on the passes in CT, and doing top end runs at 323kmh, and still no fear of really kicking it. Is that normal? What would one call that? My folks said since I was a child they could never recall I time I was scared putting my life on the line example they used was that I climbed over the swimming pool with that old checkered rope like safety net when I was 3.

I suppose if I have to go, it would be great to me if its on a top end run on my baby (bike not wife) going over my max I have achieved. a Feeling of greatness and then no feeling at all lol.
