    Yes! An excuse to play more videogames!

    BTW my favourite version of tetris is "The New Tetris" for N64 (not Tetris Sphere). It's the one where you have to form cubes that then congeal together and create multipliers for the lines. (Gold=x10, Silver=x5) Anyone else play this?

    Well, this is good, because I play the HELL out of it. I think I have a copy of it on every electronic I own (PC, phone, iPod, TI-89, etc.)! LOVE IT. But then again, who doesn't?

    Now there's a legitimate reason for me to stop studying and play Tetris in the Terminal?

    Sweet.

    I suspect a video game of Strip Poker would do more to stimulate a boys "brain" then fitting in funny pieces into holes does for adolescent girls. Just a guess.

    It is nice to see that video games can do some good, though, if I read this correctly, what they checked were folks who still had maturing brains. Mine shrinks by the minute.

    @Monty: Hey some boys get equally stimulated by "fitting in funny pieces into holes".

    Girls too...

    When I started playing tetris for the first time, I also played tetris in my dreams, music and everything. Same held true for Doom.

    Im curious if he's still able to "communicate" with the outside world. I mean was his ability to communicate completely ruined?

    @Lupison: Probably not. He still has vowels, sign, and the written word. If Helen Keller could communicate I'm sure this guy won't have a problem.

    so wait, is this like a "survey" where you'd go and get hooked up to a machine while they show you their ads? or does it just scan your brain while you're walking past?


    there's a huge difference between voluntarily creepy, and downright invasive.
