Was just reading my Men’s Health and found an interesting little bit of info:

> 

Surgeons who play video games for 3 hours a week make fewer mistakes during laparoscopic surgery and finish the job faster than their xboxless peers.

So next time anyone gives you crap for wasting your life playing video games, tell them your practicing you motor skills to be a doctor someday.
