Quote:It would be interesting to make a study of how avid FPS conditioned people fare in a complex, fast action task. For instance, flying a fighter jet.
They'd probably pass out and do a nice Raggedy Andy impression the first time they experienced G's. Not only would they suffer from a less-than-perfect heart-to-head ratio, they'd have to pump blood around all that ill-gotten gain from Pringles and Code Red Mountain Dew.
Quote:Certainly, a combination of physical and mental training is ideal.
Ah, but there's the rub. Usually, it's the physical training that's in place first and foremost, then the mental training is established. The other direction doesn't work. Well, unless you count some abusive CS clanner that suddenly decides he should start doing some pushups in the morning. I believe the Jury is still out on THOSE success rates.
Find me one short, in-shape, Type A personality with his eyes towards Miramar, Ca who's an "expert" at ANYTHING on the computer, much less FPS games. I'd like to shake his hand... right after I eat my socks.
