Out of Sorts

Yes, here comes another uber scientific study suggesting that people, specifically those who play first person shooters or FPS’, train their brains to amp up their visual rods. Rods in the eye are responsible for our ability to see in the dark, help guide our peripheral vision and act as motion sensors in low light situations. 

Where was I when this study came rolling around? “Here, go play Unreal Tournament for 9 weeks, we’ll pay you and you tell us if you can see different shades of grays!” My luck though, I’d be in the other testing group that was forced to play The Sims. I probably at that point would have been purposely setting my virtual house on fire and letting my creations piss themselves. I hate that game. Sorry.

The good news out of all this is that kids have yet another excuse to play their coveted video games. Not only will hours fighting zombies and terrorists fine tune  hand/eye coordination, but now, you totally get to be a color gray connoisseur. (On an unrelated side note: I totally spelled connoisseur right the first time).

Now, if only video games could help me land voice work jobs. ;)
