Hey guys, sorry that I didn't find portions of the brain being linked to video game adequacy interesting. Seems REALLY obvious that you use certain parts of the brain for video games and people with more activity in that portion would do better at video games.. how the hell is that really fascinating? It's not so much finding that fact and actually locating the actual sectors of the brain. But if you're all against scientific advancement, why are you using that computer? | ||

The conclusions people draw are astounding.. you think I am against ALL scientific advancements, and you deduct this from where? People have the audacity to call me stupid yet I am having my reading comprehension assessed, my intelligence weighed and my body mocked because I deign to disagree with the fascination of an OP.. THis has been a great case study of some of the TL posting community haha | ||

I posted, came back to check my post (oh btw, this is how forums function..) and saw I had replies. So I replied.. etc etc. Do you post, then go away? Cause it wouldn't be me that has the strange habit then dude. I hit F5 every 30 seconds, besides pee breaks. I honestly didn't think much of the article, nor do I think it's groundbreaking, or even that applicable. They're using ideas that have already been applied and applying it on video games no? If anyone cares to expand on the article please cause I read the first and last paragraph as I usually do and went meh. | ||

Also I guess we should all make a post in every thread stating our disinterest. Yep, once again the extreme interpretation of my post. EVERYONE POST IN EVERY THREAD BLAH BLAH lol dude, sometimes people find things insignificant and they make fun of it. You might have seen that around TL a few times? Well this was one of them.. I just so happen to have a few moments on my hand and seeing what people are posting in response to me I am inclined to discuss the matter. You can continue to psychoanalyze my purpose in this thread if you like but I'd recommend you stick to other hobbies. | ||

Well fuck me sideways.. that is a tremendous breakthrough. I also read an article that said if you the ability to run fast you might do well in track. lol kind of what I was thinking. Being able to think and react fast are pretty obvious skills to have in computer games | ||

Surely you saw the pattern between intelligence and being good at video games right? Did you really need a thread about brain activity/size in certain parts to tell you that that could be linked to video game playing ability? The brain doesn't have an area dedicated to video games guys, lol. It has a portion of the brain dedicated to skills/abilities that lend themselves towards playing video games. This was known. Having more mass there / activity would probably aid in the ability to play video games.. WOW! But surely you realise that the point of this study wasn't to try and prove that there is a correlation between certain forms of intelligence and ones performance in a video game? The video game aspect was just a mean of measuring and the reason why we conduct 1000s of these sort of studies is so that at some point we can come to understand the brain. This study focused on the correlation between size of certain parts of the brain and various personality traits. The idea that size and "smartness" as you call it are correlated is just your own silly assertion, but I guess scientists should just assume larger brain = intelligence because it makes sense. That sort of reasoning has worked out in the past, right? | ||

GUYS.. the size of the brain had no correlation to how smart you are Is there any reason to shit up a perfectly good thread? At least the news is interesting, it's very rare that such a concrete thing such as physical size actually has any effect in the brain (normally we can't begin to figure out what makes it work) so at the very least it's interesting that we're able to judge skill in an applied art simply by looking at the size of parts of the brain. + Show Spoiler + And also, i just came to the conclusion that iNcontroL stopped being funny about the time i stopped thinking that a high post count here mattered. You're good at a video game, that doesn't give you leeway to act like you're the coolest, most witty, intelligent guy ever who's so cool he gets to derail threads all on his own. And after that i still respect you and think you're a cool person. | ||

Oh wait that's physics LOL Oh wait you've never opened a math book beyond algebra I It is no mystery people who get an emotional reward for winning or doing well are people who will try harder at video games. Its a really cheap and easy way to get that emotional high. | ||
