Some interesting health-related posts to mention today, first with 1up.com reporting that grants will be given to individuals who study health effects in video games. The full article can be read here; personally, I think that if they find anything useful, to make it public soon. After all, I look forward to the day where playing DDR can be considered exercise alongside the usual routines.

Also, Kotaku.com describes an event targeted towards gamers who wish to see their craft used for positive means. More about it can be read here. Personally, I would love to go, but I lack the funds to go to New York (sighs).

A rather interesting news piece here about Minnesota optometrists warning against not staring at games all day. For me, that is obvious, that is why after I am finished playing for about 3 hours, I take a 10 minute nap to ‘recharge my batteries.’ Seriously, my mom always told me not to sit too close to the television when I play; I think this is the reason why.

That’s all for tonight, folks!
