This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Lefties rule.

QuoteStudy: Lefties better at gaming
Aussie prof finds that left-handed people are better at managing information during certain complex tasks, including video game playing.
By Emma Boyes, GameSpot UK

Gamers may have a new excuse for losing against their friends--their left-handed friends, that is. According to research conducted by Dr. Nick Cherbuin at the Australian National University, and published last week in the journal Neuropsychology, left-handers often outperform right-handers at fast or difficult tasks involving a large amount of information or stimuli. These tasks include activities such as talking while driving, piloting jet fighters, and playing fast-paced video games. Approximately one in 10 people are left-handers--famous left-handers include George Bush senior, Bill Clinton, Julian Caesar, Margaret Thatcher, Matt Groening, and Woody Allen. There are also high numbers of lefties in certain sports such as tennis where hand-eye coordination is a key factor. Bjorn Borg, Martina Navratilova, John McEnroe, and Greg Rusedski are all left-handed.
By the way, I'm lefthanded.:D

Researchers here at the University have found: "Contrary to popular scientific belief, soy left-handedness is not linked to dyslexia, poorer spatial ability, homosexuality, asthma and hyperactivity".

I never knew those were popular scientific beliefs! :confused:
