- buddyw, on 01/10/2009, -1/+9I love building up a big pile and then sending it to some kid in Japan all at once over Wifi (DS).
probably the only speed game that I am good at.
On that note, The D-Pad on the X-Box 360 control BLOWS. Never play Tetris on XBox. It will cause rage. - inactive, on 01/10/2009, -1/+7Tetris may help with PTSD, but it definitely isn't good for my OCD. I've had images of botched moves haunt my thoughts and dreams ever since I got my first Game Boy 18 years ago.
- bustaballs, on 01/10/2009, -1/+6This stuff works better:
http://www.maps.org/mdma/#news - maiden8680, on 01/10/2009, -0/+5Tetris....saving life's problems one step at a time :)
<3 - revyn, on 01/10/2009, -0/+4Thank god I'm not the only one. Pressing up and getting two pieces slammed is infuriating.
- Nubhole, on 01/10/2009, -1/+5If they think Tetris helps with stress, they obviously never made it to level 9 before...
- Brododium, on 01/10/2009, -1/+4I use it for Pre-Traumatic Stress Disorder, like... the night before intense exams and suchlike.
Plus (FTA): "The team used an experimental model that involved showing volunteers a short (12-minute) film of traumatic scenes of real life injury and death, a well-established experimental analog for PTSD"
WTF? Who'd volunteer to be mentally scarred? It's akin to willingly having goatse as your homepage. - shoppingkart, on 01/11/2009, -0/+3"Drop the block!"
"Nooooooo! I caaaan't!" - revyn, on 01/10/2009, -0/+3Only level 9? n00b.
- Spoomeister, on 01/10/2009, -1/+4What if I freaked out after a horrible bricklaying accident, buried alive in tons of blocks in different shapes all falling down one after another with no end in sight, all while a little russian man danced in a tower?
Don't think it would be bloody good therapy THEN, bitches!!! - chonuts, on 01/10/2009, -2/+5Interesting. My grandfather was a Korean War vet, and he suffered from PTSD. Ever since I can remember, he would always play this traditional Korean card game "Sutda" (which is supposed to be played with 2 people) by himself. He said it helped him sleep. Maybe there's something to that cognitive therapy.
- sybarite, on 01/10/2009, -1/+3I think technically this is more like a cognitive anti-histamine?
- Ragarnok, on 01/10/2009, -0/+2You don't really know a lot about PTSD now do you?
here : http://www.ncptsd.va.gov/ncmain/ncdocs/fact_shts/f ... - katzeyes, on 01/09/2009, -1/+3I knew tetris was awesome. I had a handheld tetris game when i was a kid (very large handheld, dinosaur of the handhelds), you couldn't pry me off that thing.
- Commonwealth, on 01/10/2009, -1/+3The people that volunteered to be shown a film traumatic enough to give them flashbacks for a week really have some balls.
- Tryptomine, on 01/10/2009, -1/+3News flash! Entertainment distracts your mind from worries!
- titlesaysitall, on 01/11/2009, -0/+1HE'S NOT OVER LEVEL 9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- linuxeventually, on 01/11/2009, -0/+1the original gameboy, perhaps?
- muxaulo, on 01/09/2009, -4/+5if i get a case of PTSD can you please give me something harder than that
- inactive, on 01/10/2009, -1/+2So when they're not playing the game they're still prone to PTSD. Might as well give them a dildo too.
- amneosis, on 01/10/2009, -1/+2It's all about the Trism these days,
- katzeyes, on 01/11/2009, -0/+1LOL! When I played tetris all the time, I started trying to fit imaginary tetris blocks into the blank spaces around the paragraphs in books I was reading.
- TatjanaMihaela, on 01/11/2009, -0/+1I used Tetris to keep my mind quit and focused. This game is amazing, constructive and realy has great impact on mind. As like as EMDR. But I would recommend some natural remedies as well....
- matthekc, on 01/10/2009, -1/+2What ever happened to the windows entertainment package with tetris, jezzball, skifree, and so many other decent games? 3.11 shipped with all that cool stuff then it all disappeared in win95.
- katzeyes, on 01/11/2009, -0/+1No actually it was one of those single game handhelds... like, that was the only game on it. I never had a gameboy :(
- JCD55, on 10/14/2009, -0/+0That's one way of doing it I guess. I used to throw my Game Boy across the room every time I lost and start crying, so maybe Tetris isn't the answer.
- blinkypete, on 01/10/2009, -1/+1Sounds a little like EMDR...not exactly the most favored treatment.
- itsradBrad, on 01/10/2009, -4/+3Buried on account of the stupid title.
