Games make you chill with the still...apparently

According to a study by Middlesex university, playing video games can actually help relax people. 

The study took (they actually abducted people) 292 people between the ages of 12 and 83 - plonked them in front of World of Warcraft for 2 hours and analysed the results. Most stated they felt calmer after playing. 

Heading up the study, Jane Barnett commented: "There were actually higher levels of relaxation before and after playing the game, as opposed to experiencing anger, but this did very much depend on personality type."

So what on earth was the point in the study? This has just proved that we are all different. I would expect that after 2 hours sitting down doing anything, you would feel tired and therefore slightly more relaxed. Again, it depends on the person. Isn't that why we all have different hobby's and unique ways of relaxing. What works for one person might not work for someone else. So, to suggest video games make you happy, relaxed or angry is pointless - it depends on the character. Some people are easily irritated while others find gaming relaxing and enjoyable. It's the difference between taking things too seriously and enjoying a game for what it's supposed to be...entertainment. 

I look forward to more pointless and subjective studies.
