A Reason To Go To Canada, Besides Curling
August 19th, 2008 by GregHey guys! Who’s up for a road trip to Toronto? I just found out that one of a handful of Street Fighter IV arcade machines is in Toronto, Ontario, Camaro, Eugene, Methusalah, Onomatopoeia, Canada, and it might be fun to take a 6+ hour road trip to another country for such a stupid purpose. Plus, maybe we can catch a curling match. Is it curling season? Do they even have seasons? Or is it just a joke sport they only play during the Winter Olympics or when they run out of episodes of World’s Strongest Man on ESPN2?
Slightly relevant to this is an article I just read that suggests playing video games makes people better surgeons. There have been recent studies conducted showing that surgeons who were also identified as “gamers” were 27% faster at advanced surgical procedures, and made 37% fewer mistakes, compared to non-gamers. (They also said violent games make kids more desensitized and prone to use violence to solve problems) BUT HEY VIDEO GAMES MAKE YOU SMARTER IT’S PROVEN EVERYONE LOOK OVER HERE!!! Now we have an even better reason to visit Canada for some gamin’: education!
