Gaming Skills May Have Saved This Man's Life

Alright! Now I have an excuse to play more games.

If you are going to post news, then do it properly.
Like this:

When a semi-truck carrying 30 metric tons of sand jackknifed through the concrete barrier into oncoming traffic on Ontario's Highway 401 Friday morning, driver Matthew Krizsan narrowly escaped what might have been a fatal accident.

Krizsan and a female companion were driving along the highway on Friday morning with a dashboard-mounted video camera running when the semi burst through the barrier. It looked like a scene out of a Michael Bay film, an appropriate comparison considering Krizsan's stunt driver-like reaction.

"Everything seemed to slow down and I think all those years playing video games as a kid paid-off," he said in a phone interview.
You can hear bits of debris bouncing off Krizsan's car as he quickly swerves, managing to avoid the truck while staying on the road and not hitting any other vehicles. Whether it was video game-tested reflexes or an adrenalin-fueled moment of clarity, he and his passenger are lucky to be alive.

I used to think squeezing bits and pieces of my endocrine system was fun, covering myself in goose bumps anytime I wanted and being able to call up a mad cycle sprint at will. It was fun, I was young and enjoyed getting high on my own body's chemicals.

I turned 26-27 and everything went a bit wrong. I lost control of the surges and spent the next 6 years trying to control extreme non specific trigger panic attacks. I used to get so much crap flooded through my system my whole body would be shaking and my heart even to an outside observer would feel like it was coming out of my chest. The doctors always thought I had taken an external substance but the tests always came back negative. I thought I was a going to die a few times but I guess I'm still here.

It is possible underlying anxiety problems triggered the problems however, I think fucking with my endocrine system as a young bloke made it 10 times worse.

10 yeas later I'm ok but, I still have to be careful with caffeine and sometimes alcohol, otherwise the after effects will start to trigger things.

What the fuck are you talking about?

I once performed a Hadouken in a bar brawl, saved me from getting my ass kicked

Yes, everyone has it. However people like me who get in the "Zone" on video games have the same effect. I can visualize something and get an adrenaline rush, and I could be just sitting there on my bed. Everything slows down, and I can call on it anytime I want to thanks to video games.

What is this "Zone" you're talking about?

You start playing a game. People try to talk to you, and you cannot hear them. You play better, faster, and harder.

That started happening to me 4 years ago 0_O

lol been able to do that since i was 6 (im 19 now)
