Violent gamers handle pain better: study

Gamers who frequently play violent games are more likely to embrace pain

Oh, really? Well, I play tons of violent games and right now I'm crapping my pants because in less than an hour I'm going to the dentist to have a tooth fixed and the thought of the injection is scaring me out of my mind.

Yeah, but that's the thought of pain, the pain hasn't been applied yet.

[Murph]

Ah! Another "study"!
In my experience is BS - I play violent games and I hardly welcome or embrace pain.
Even after an hour of Diablo III my back and arms start hurting and I feel sad.

Arguing Gamers handle emotional pain better than non-gamers? O.o All you have to do is have a look through this or any other gaming related forum to see that is most definitely NOT the case.

I've been having this terrible neck-pain since yesterday, I can assure you- there's nothing about it that I embrace or handle better than others. I have sworn a lot today. And that's everytime someone calls me or I have to look around.

Not quite as much as this guy though...
