Well this is one of those weird research studies, but it shows that there is an apparent colleration between surgeons who play videogames and the amount of error they make or are less likely to make.

I read that yesterday. Funny but true. I guess judging from what I see on the screen, Super Monkey Ball demands some eye hand coordination.

So does that mean because I'm good at Chopper Challenge, I would be an awesome helicopter pilot?

I'll merge them. The topic will now reside in The Dungeon seeing as BAB is the winner.

Super Monkey Ball one or two?

If it's one, then good.. but if it's two, god help the patients.
