  The Brain

  by ball. in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know this maybe unhealthy but i think it maybe interesting to some people from a scientific point of view.. i have been playing a game online for about 2 years now and i find if i play the game solidly for about 2 hours, my brain goes into an altered state, where i suddenly feel my brain speed up, and i become unaware of anything else in the room.

  in a sense, i actually "enter" into the game, but what i think is happening is that the brain *learns* to see the game in a new way.

  bascially, the brain wires itself up to experience being in the game as opposed to seeing it on a monitor screen.. i guess this is why it feels like the brain is speeding up, because it starts using dedicated circuitry to deal with the information pouring in through the eyes and ears.

  thinking of taking up sky diving or at least becoming a qualified sky diver in a week, this summer, in about 8 dives.

  i was looking to do a bungee jump, and then thought of this instead.

  it will cost only about 1200 plus the flights to spain and accomodation.. .

  how are you financialy?.

  i don't know if i am am a typical brit, but i guess i am a fairly typical rags to riches storey.

  i have just managed to finish paying off my house at age 32 after growing up a pioneer penny-less until 22, meaning now i can save for the future and buy stuff i want, but until now it's been a strugle.

  What does property cost where you live?

  by ball. in

  2. friends

  i just saw on tv that a 3 bedroom detached property with swimming pool in florida costs the exact same as my 2 bedroom apartment on the coast in england.

  i was totally suprised by this.

  as there are quite a few american posters here, i am curious as to housing costs in other areas.
