When asked to describe the colour of the word "blue," for example, when it is written in green ink, non-players were far more likely to choose the dominant impulse and say "blue," though the colour is green. "The [video game players] are much harder to mislead, to trick," Prof. Bialystok said.

Brain Training FTW!

This article should be on the first page of the English version of BT

Riddle me this, then: If half of us GAFers are genius enough to play games AND speak japanese along with English, then why do we waste our brains by spending all day on this forum?

That explains why Nintendo fans act like fuckin 6 year olds.

Looks like PS2 helps gamers improve their brain, not the DS

 

[sasimirobot]

Under achievers?

 

[MattPeters]

That would explain my immaturity.

I knew even before I clicked on this thread that someone would say this.

The simple answer is that we aren't really that smart. The long answer is that more then half of us are depressed 20 somethings with no motivation to remove are exteriers from the computer chairs that support them.

shrug, i wouldnt know

I dont bother with DS threads

 

[M3wThr33]

Remember when DS fans kept saying that the DS and PSP weren't competing?

Yeah. Let's go back to those days.

 

[Monk]

Not you, it's just annoying how i see every positive psp related thread being nice and clean, but every positive ds thread turning into that crap.

 

[Teddman]

The brain training games look like fun, but I gotta ask: when the Hell is saying blue instead of green gonna come in handy?

Damn, that's low quality. The correct answer is:

"That explains why Nintendo fans are senile."

Then it doesn't have to contradict the whole Nintards-hate-playing-games argument.

But which is worse, be an adult and act like a 6 years old (Nintendo fans), or to actually be 6 years old (Sony and M$ bots)?

 

[Morbo]

Oh my, SuomiDude with the maturity reversal!

 

[ElyrionX]

But which is worse, be an adult and act like a 6 years old (Nintards), or be 6 years old (Nintendo fans) or to actually be 24 years old (Sony and MS fans)?

Fixed

I choose to be 24 years old!!

Too easy

 

[BlueTsunami]

But which is worse, be an adult and act like a 6 years old (Nintendo fans), or to actually be 6 years old (Sony and M$ bots)?

I would think being an adult and acting like a 6 year old is worse. Some would liken it to Mental Retardation. At least a 6 year old acting like a 6 year old is...normal...

It would have been so easy just to talk about the article, ignore any baiting and rise above it.. but no, you got it locked instead.
