Study Finds Video Games Relaxing, Pope Catholic

On April 2nd, 2008 in Uncategorized -

It seems that a study at Middlesex University has yielded some astounding results: video games, which most of us play for their often frustrating and aggravating elements are actually relaxing. Nearly three hundred people ages 12-83 played World of Warcraft for two hours and instead of the hoped for result of turning them all into frenzied berserkers with an insatiable bloodlust, many of them found themselves a little tired and more relaxed. Luckily this effect seemed to be mediated by personality type, indictating that not everyone is susceptible to the soporific effects inherent in video games. Further studies will allow researchers to create better questionairres and methods of determining the effects of video games on individuals which will facilitate the attempts of gamers to create an army of twitch-gaming beasts that we’ll use to supplant governments all over the world and reign supreme over all of mankind.
