Sports and Games

According to a study published in the journal Current Biology, playing video games, specifically action is a great workout to improve the ability to make decisions.

Apparently addicted to action games, able to develop a better perception of what is happening around them, which helps them make decisions more quickly in a really effective.

The study, conducted by the University of Rochester , was to analyze the behavior of young Americans between 18 and 25 who were not gamers after playing more than 50 hours some PC games (note that not used consoles).

Separated them into 2 groups, the first of these he began to play the good Call of Duty 2 and Unreal Tournament ancient and immortal and the second The Sims 2. After the time, they presented a series of test cases that were identified situations, a screen and they should be analyzed to reach a solution.

The results showed that both groups had equal number of hits, however, those who played the shooters, responded to 25% faster.

So you know gamer, the mental agility to take out excuses to keep playing is not free, is the product of all those years playing Counter Strike.

Are you a fan games and a hopeless loser? Well now you have a site where you can play Xbox Live with girls. Yes, women! This strange species of human beings so little look on the street. GameCrush is a place (real) where a very low figure, connecting you with girls to play for 10 minutes. Currently available for Xbox 360, but is also expected to Wii, PlayStation 3 and World of Warcraft.

The notion that video game fans are moles who never leave their homes and have no girlfriends no longer haunts us both luck, but apparently there are still those people. At least that’s where you find a site called Money GameCrush , which offers one of the most bizarre and useless services to date. If you register, you can play via Xbox Live with girls … yes, that strange-known endangered species in some places as women.

But worst of all is that this is a genuine site. If I said you’re playing with girls as beautiful as models and are really ugly girls with beautiful voices, perhaps it would make sense … a very corporate, but heartfelt nonetheless. However, in the same place you can see that they are women “real” to say otherwise. Thus we can not imagine the motives of a person to pay just to play with a girl. With respect, but it may pay for more entertaining than that. And much worse, what if you win in the Modern Warfare 2 ?! We can see the teen suicide rate skidding.

Will have to excuse our cruelty, but really do not understand how a place like this can be and what kind of people are behind him. Currently only supports four games: Modern Warfare 2, Gears of War 2 , GTA and Halo. If you are a woman who wants to be part of the project, you must first register as a “play date”, something that no disrespect, sounds more like something else. And yet, if you’re a typical player Xbox Live, do you look for in an online game: a challenge or an appointment?

We tried to register to see if we could find a sexy chichi want to play with us, but apparently, the records are closed until the site is officially launched, so we have to remain disappointed. What we know is that once you register, you can pay $ 8.25 per game plus $ 1.65 tip. Do not want to keep comparing it with another type of service, but the similarities are emerging. As if the figure was not high enough, each game lasts 10 minutes (not so dissimilar to other type of service) and then you can talk with them for a few minutes. Truly we are without words, and recourse to you, to tell us what you think of this strange proposal.

A study by Canadian researchers has provided a new clue to obesity epidemic in this country, suggesting that the use of video games is not just a replacement rampant and sedentary physical exertion, but forcing players to eat more, even when not hungry.

The adolescents who participated in the Canadian-Danish research (study subjects) spent an hour just sitting in a comfortable chair and another time, another hour playing video games.

After the game, they consumed an average of 80 calories more than what is consumed in a meal with pasta. The increase is more significant than it seems, since the consumption of only 50 extra calories a day – an apple, for example – will add about 28 extra pounds after 10 years, said Dr. Jean-Philippe Chaput, director research.

“It’s a sad story that has been sedentary activity alone,” said Chaput, a kinesiologist at the Research Institute at Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario. “When we play games, yes, we burn fewer calories, but eat more.” Readmore…
