Though there are some downsides, such as a lack of social skills, time-management problems, and easily being distracted. Granted not everyone will have the benefits and negatives. I know that being a gamer was massively useful when I was doing sound for a play last year. There was this one scene that had so many cues, that had to be timed right according to the actors' movements. I had to do that in QLab on my Mac at the same time as I had to pay attention to the levels on the mixer. If I hadn't been a gamer, I don't think I would have ever been able to do that scene properly (and I screwed up so many times, too, but thankfully the audience don't know what it's supposed to be like, so... ) Gaming is a really useful distraction for me. It gets me out of my head, gives me something to focus on, and solving complex puzzles or completing challenges in a game makes me feel like I've accomplished something, which makes me feel better about myself. I think most games can have a therapeutic effect. 3 Link to comment

He's become quite a leader you can hear him coaching his "team" through the play. 1 Link to comment

They have a limited edition Holiday Spice flavor for sale on their website. You can get 25% off with the coupon code of "getspicy." Not sure if that is for just the Holiday one, or all products, or if it works in Canada. what would "Holiday Spice" be? peppermint? more pumpkin spice? i drink it like it's a cheap shot of tequila, so not sure that taste would be much of an incentive 1 1 Link to comment
