[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4739286, member: 23977"] Umbran- As I said when I first started my post wasn't based on hard research or anything. The whole left brained vrs right brained idea is largely pseudoscience. Or more correctly real science exagerated through psuedoscience. It's been shown that certain tasks use certain sides of the brain predominantly to be done, (although injruy to the brain can havr the other side "learn" how to do the other stuff.) but it isn't really quite as literal as the "right side / left side" thing suggests. It's an easy way to categorize personality "types" though for the purposes of a random message board post. And what I was saying wasn't that the right side gets no say at all, that's impossible. It's just that th right side's ideas tend to be funnelled through the left side ideas. So yeah, sometimes we make emotional decisions, but the left side always seeks to give us a rational explanation. The left side comes to the forefront: "I put my seatbelt on to prevent injury in an accident." Rather then the right side "no seatbelt is bad!" (Or an image of yourself splattered on the pavement.) But realy, I'm more interested in the thoughts on games. :) [/QUOTE]
