A womans reward region has nothing to do with her brain.

Maybe if she pulled my Right trigger or touched my X button like she did before we were married, she could activate my reward region.

We had this discussion several months ago. Twice, in fact, since there was a repeat back then too.

The study looked at only specific types of rewards in games - a task-oriented goal. A follow-up study needs to be done on games with a more social reward, like the Sims.

A womans reward region has nothing to do with her brain.

That's because a woman's "reward region" is located squarely in her purse.

FTFA: "in 2005, he published a study showing that men and women process humor differently."


In case you were wondering why she didn't laugh at that joke about women and cooking.


"The researchers designed a game involving a vertical line (the "wall") in the middle of a computer screen. When the game begins, 10 balls appear to the right of the wall and travel left toward the wall. Each time a ball is clicked, it disappears from the screen. If the balls are kept a certain distance from the wall, the wall moves to the right"


They couldn't just fire up Collapse?

Five reasons your computer will always be better than a significant other:

1. It is always ready when you are.

2. It never complains when you're tired or don't bring home milk.

3. It will show you anything you want to see without any objections.

4. It will sit quietly until you want it.

5. It never biatches when you walk away or complains that you don't spend enough time with it.

Mine constantly locks up and reboots for no apparent reason, and my computer isn't much better.

I guess its the Obvious tag's turn on the XBox, so he(?) couldn't be here.

It's not only sulking, it's remembering this so 5 years in the future when there's a link posted it will bring this shiat back up again.

At least in my life video games have been cheaper than keeping a GF around. Now if only they had a space invaders version of the fleshlight. . .

That's only because men have more regions of brain than women

Now if they had video games that simulated shopping, things might be different...

I call bullcrap. You just need to find the right game. You shoulda seen my victory dance when I beat Portal.

Just last night I was trying to explain to my girlfriend why it was so important for me to kill 200 Flying Rats.

"But honey, the helicopter you get has missiles!"

Even more reason why being gay is a sound economical choice. Video games is a cheap, reasonable hobby of about $75/month (averaged out with computer, games, etc).

Try finding a woman that will be entertained with $75/month.

That's right, it's located between her legs and if you find it and use it right you get a really nice reward.

I don't think it does (have missiles). I still have thirty of the little farkers left so I don't know for sure, but I read a forum post somewhere and the guy was like "It does NOT have missiles. It is the regular Annihilator or."

So, don't get your hopes up too high. It's still cool to have an additional Annihilator spawn. And 100% unlocks unlimited ammo.

That's when a girl says that she loves to give head, right? 'Cause that'd bring her a lot of win from me, as far as I'm concerned...

/X-box indeed.
