According to the findings of researchers Daphne Bavelier and Shawn Green, visual processing is enhanced through consistent play of complex graphical titles. Simple orientation tests were much easier for a group that played UT, compared to a group that only played Tetris.
I was just gonna do a big all caps thing about how there should be no women talked about on the site, we must all conform to the geek stereotype with no girlfriend, nice and sarcastic, etc, then stupid-ass slashdot gave me this: Lameness filter encountered.
