Brain Age on the DS
Posted: Tue Oct 16, 2012 11:42 am
If you're unfamiliar with Brain Age, it's basically this game inspired by the work of some neuroscientist who tested certain tasks to make one's brain "younger." These tasks deal with your short term memory, speed, attention, things like that. The slower you perform and the worse you do, the "older" your brain is.
Anyway.
There's the Word Memory task. It gives you a list of words you memorize for two minutes and then right after that you have to write down all that you can remember within a short time limit.
The ****ing game. . .
can never. . .
understand. . .
when I write. .
a K.
It keeps thinking it's an X or just an L. I just ragequit every time that happens. I hold myself up wanting it to understand. I keep writing it different ways to see if it understands - IT CAN NEVER UNDERSTAND THAT I WROTE A ****ING K. WHAT THE **** MAN. It's something so miniscule and yet when you play this everyday (because I really believe these tests work) IT GETS TO YOU.
