The Game Developers conference just wrapped up in San Francisco and it packed quite a motherload of game updates, game engine evolution, and other hot gaming development trends.

Participants in both groups admitted to having nightmares about war, but those in the high gaming category said the dreams were not as intense, and they were more likely to be able to conquer whatever the opposing force was.
By contract, those classified as "low gamers" said the enemies in their dreams were more aggressive, and they expressed having feelings of helplessness.
