    Default Games may sharpen the mind

    Damn you. I saw this same story on MSN in school and was going to post it. Ah, whatever.

    I have noticed this also. I also was going to say that most gamers are smarter than people who don't play video games. I think there was a thread in Misc, something about cheating on tests. I thought it was pretty interesting that most people got good grades, despite the fact that video games/TV supposedly "rot your brain".
