Re: [Audyssey] Fw: Violent videogames may boost brain power, say researchers
Hi Jacob, Very interesting. Hmmm...That has interesting implications for gamers. I use to play games like that for years. I wonder if this means my brain power was boosted by slottering hords of enemies in Doom, Quake, Jedi Knight, Tomb Raider, etc. Would be ironic to think so.

Re: [Audyssey] Fw: Violent videogames may boost brain power, say researchers
I'm not overly surprised, though I'm a litle sad they focus only on fps action games. I actually think playing maze games like Turrican or packman at a very young age improved my ability to understand routes and distances, something my brain doesn't generally do well at. another interesting point, is that it's been proved playing very cognitive intensive games such as resource management, or stratogy games like chess or battleships can actually aide depression, sinse you are stimulating different parts of the brain while doing this.

hmmm and I never recieved that message but it would make sence. Over time with the strat games where possilbe I find I am faster with my trigger finger.

Re: [Audyssey] Fw: Violent videogames may boost brain power, say researchers
h. As long as you can distinguish it all from real world. When I am stressed, I go to a game and start killing everyone in sight. Now in the real world I am not going to get a knife and start butchering. Then again I don't smoke or do drugs or stuff like p and such. There are stories every day on the news on people that do that on a regular basis. They are either drunk, drugged up to the nines or both and are adicts to several bad things. And it screws everything up for em. We don't have death here as a punishment though sometimes I think the cops wish we did. Lol who said blood wasn't good for you then!!!

Re: [Audyssey] Fw: Violent videogames may boost brain power, say researchers
Hi, Action games have actually made me more braver. For an example, when I was young, if I get hit or punched, if I fall down, I use to cry. But nowadaies, I am much more brave and fearce. For an example, if someone tries to fight me, I take revenge from them. Also the Harry Potter books taught me a bit. And a case that I watched, when a woman in Haiti was trapped in an earthquake, and her husband and a bunch of firefighters come for the rescue and rescues her. She sings, and tells them, you must not fear death. The harry potter books taught me that as well. The more braver stuff you read thoroughly, the more braver you'll be. - Original Message - From: Thomas Ward thomasward1...@gmail.com To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Saturday, February 05, 2011 2:37 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Fw: Violent videogames may boost brain power,say researchers Hi Jacob, Very interesting.

Re: [Audyssey] Fw: Violent videogames may boost brain power, say researchers
