I spent most of my freetime during my childhood bowling. I had a coach make me play pin-ball for 1/2 a day to improve my hand/eye coordination. It worked.

Yes, but I dislike the ending in Final Fantasy 7 (which is some sort of "guessing and vague ending") and fact that Aliean died(what is her name). As for Final Fantasy X-2, I got its ending right here:

Her name is Aeris ... and I like her and the ending. I don't know ... something about wipe the slate cleans and start a new cycle with a new species is very appealing to me

Thanks for the FFX-2 link ... I didn't go there yet, but I had bookmarked it. I want to finish the game first before anything else but somehow, watching Yuna in shorts is not very entertaining.

Sounds like something useful to study to cure Epileptics for me. Any work had been done by Scientists on this?

Seizures can be triggered by bright flashing lights, but they're not the only initiators. I imagine the effect has been studied.

Oh yeah ... speaking of which, you're a moderator, so you should be a perfect person to ask. How come there is no Game column in this forum?
And don't tell me it is because Games don't have theology or Atheist concept in it either ... I can list down half a dozen games from various counsels which DO have such concepts.

Games fit into the category of Media and Popular Culture.

So playing more of this kind of games should get my brain used to seeing virtual objects ... right?

I don't know if the effect goes away with practice.

OK.

Thank You. Just that I don't see much discussion about games, songs or any other entertaiment media other than movies around here and wondered why.

Maybe we will get the results from someone who had stopped playing games for a long time or maybe someone will do another studies with people who stopped playing games to see their effects.

As for me ... I'm still a gamer (at least till I get married and have a few Seraphims running around the house :P).
