Video Games and Reality
:: Gaming
Interesting article over at Wired News, courtesy Slashdot about what happens when we play too many video games, or even spend too much time in front of the computer screen in general.
It's a common phenomenon for me. I'm one of those folks who, after a marathon Halo session starts judging if I'm close enough for a melee attack when approaching others, sometimes catches myself wondering why CTRL-Z doesn't undo mistakes in real life. Although I've never actually tried to press CTRL-Z, or executed a melee attack on innocent passers-by. That's mapped to B, and I have no B button in real life. Duh.
