Brute Spiker - Details
Hawty McBloggy posted a piece a couple of days ago about a fan-made Brute Spiker; if you liked what you saw, but were hungry for shots of the piece under construction, and comments from the creator, swing by the gallery page for smick6's Brute Spiker. Awesome work! (Louis Wu 14:57:24 UTC) (permalink)

Videogames are good for you (mostly)
Two years ago, we mentioned a study being done in New York that found that laparoscopic surgeons who played video games were faster than those who didn't. Last month, at the Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association, a number of studies were discussed that showed similar findings - cognitive and perceptual skills are increased, reactions are faster and accuracy is improved. (There were some negative findings, as well, especially related to attitudes towards violence.) The APA press release doesn't mention Halo - but the Boston Globe editorial that refers to its findings does. (Louis Wu 14:49:21 UTC) (permalink)

(There is also a summary of the last question she asked, concerning dream vehicles - go see what people want to add!) (Louis Wu 14:38:36 UTC) (permalink)
