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. What really caught the eye of many observers was the release of a psychiatric survey that showed that VIOLENT games like Call of Duty and WOW have positive psychiatric benefits/stress fighting capabilities.

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.

So... next time your mom or your wife or your boss or another person in authority (

) tries to kick you off the PS3 or the PC, tell them "I'm dealing with STRESS!"

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
