Beeks' Place! Beeks' Place!

Party Time! Excellent!

Action games improve vision! Harvest Moon, not so much.

The local news station (KAKE 10) ran a little story the other night about how playing video games can actually improve your eyesight! This website outlines how playing high-octane action video games with lots of visual information helped gamers get a better score on certain parts of their eye exams. The other test group that played Tetris (an "equally demanding game in terms of motor control") didn't show any signs of improvement! This probably explains why my vision only gets worse each time I go to the eye doctor--I've been playing way too much Harvest Moon (such a pleasant game!) and not enough Metroid Prime!!

The advent of a shiny new blog!Gotta love the free gift!
