"The researchers found that video game players develop a heightened sensitivity to what is going on around them, and this benefit doesn't just make them better at playing video games, but improves a wide variety of general skills that can help with everyday activities like multitasking, driving, reading small print, keeping track of friends in a crowd, and navigating around town."

Maybe I need to play more games. I just wish they weren't so boring.

Excellent, a justification for my Starcraft 2 obsession.

I notice that I have somewhat less situation awareness these days compared to when I would spend hours playing Quake. Hard to tell whether it's because of the lack of fps game playing, or simply old age. :)
