Violent gamers handle pain better: study

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. :p

Yeah, but that's the thought of pain, the pain hasn't been applied yet. :p
 
Ah! Another "study"! :p
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.

This is untrue for me I mean, I kick my toe and I need to take the day off. 2 months ago I had a bit of a downhill skate wipe out with no armour and I thought I was going to die. I was lying on the side of the road saying 'Goodbye cruel world.'
I've seen people carry on skating after much worse.

Imagine the pain if you never played any violent games
 
You know, maybe you're right! Maybe we think we're in excruciating pain when really we're just experiencing it to a much lesser extent than we would had we not played videogames! You, sir, are a genius. :D
