"my foot was injured very severely a few months ago"
-----
I never asked if you've killed people or ripped peoples heads off, I what I meant was I think Toribash has improved my reflexes and hand eye coordination, (Playing games like Skate 2)
I mentioned my handicap because I expected to lose each time we wrestled because of a weaker foot, maybe the foot isn't as weak as I thought it'd be, I'm not sure.
If you want better hand eye coordination, you need to do something which actually involves hand eye coordination. Video games are not a way to do this.
I think everyone treats this thread like shit for no particular reason.
I spend alot of time replaymaking and it teaches you shitton of momentum.
Nowadays when I watch people, as an example, do parkour you see it from a different perspective.
What I mean is that you can understand their way off moving alot better, you see how they work with their arms to gain speed and flow.
So yes, it has benefits.
Get your facts straight.

Uh in both studies, they were mainly testing using video games in which high precision of mouse and quick reaction time is required. Example: FPS/Action oriented games.
Toribash doesn't improve hand eye coordination because there is nothing in it which utilizes your hand eye coordination.
Regular turn times in toribash give you around 10 to 20 seconds to make a move. This is several times more than what you get in a lot of FPS and RPG games, where you'll often have less than a second to make a move before you die.
