Playing Tetris Is Good For You
An anonymous reader writes "Some UK researchers found out that playing Tetris is actually good for people with post-traumatic stress disorder, by interfering with memory. I wonder if playing Minesweeper is effective against boss-inflicted stress."
was brought on by being hit repeatedly by blocks of various geometric shapes each divided into 4 equal sections?

No, but Mine-layer is...
I wonder if playing Minesweeper is effective against boss-inflicted stress.
I don't know where the poster works, but in most workplaces, boss-inflicted stress is caused by playing Minesweeper on the job. But then I suppose getting a pink slip is one sure way of never being stressed out by the boss ever again...
So, what does playing tetris do when you're trying to store normal memories, like where you put your glasses?
They're between the lamp and the glass.
Be careful not to leave the keys on that table, or it will all disappear.
Easy: if you see the blocks clearly, you glasses are on your nose. See? that's the power of Tetris.
You must be new here. There's a little checkbox right next to "Post Anonymously," just above the text area where you write. When we troll and flame the site, we always tick that, so that it won't affect our karma, the way I just did.

From what I've seen people do primarily play Tetris to decompress and reduce stress.
It doesn't reduce stress for me! Especially when some high ranked asshole comes into play me on Tetris Party for the Wii and quits after I beat him and before his ranking is affected. Fucking cocksuckers. If I ever find one of those motherfuckers I will pound them in the head with a Wiimote repeatedly until death occurs.
Oh, is that what you meant by reducing stress? Sorry, I got distracted.
Actually they were good for nothing, unless you were surrounded by an environment struck constantly by conflict and horror. Something you would have picked up if you had read TFA instead of wasting 14232 hours of your life playing Tetris.

Clicking without looking is like watching the movie in The Ring. After a while someone will murder you.

In other words, unless he had a TV running somewhere around him.

Or maybe plsy the Great Outdoors, Meeting People, Other Hobbies. Despite the fact that there are bears out there, it's not that bad outside ... ;)
Bark less. Wag more.
You just got Reikk-rolled.
I'm not insane! My mother had me tested.
