Is the future of video games getting worse?
Is the future of video games getting worse?To quote Anakin Skywalker from Star Wars Episode III:Similarly, from your (and my) point of view, it does look like video games are going to get worse. Always online, no single-player, single player that’s simply practice for multiplayer, multiplayer only…But from someone who loves all that, it’s great. Finally, a game solely devoted to just shooting my friends! How could anyone not love that? Yes, 15 kills in a row! Huh? Why are these armoured guys fighting aliens? Who c - OH! HEADSHOT! 16 kills!To me, that would be the worst thing ever. To someone else, the future of video games is looking better and better.
Why does age make people worse at video games but better at their jobs?
It's got nothing to do with aging reflexes or motor skills and everything to do with time management.When you're a teenager you can afford to spend a huge portion of your time on leisure, for gamers, that means spending hours every day on your favourite games. As you get older though, your time gets more valuable, you spend more time at work but you also need to divide your leisure time diferently, you can't just laze around and play all day, you have more commitments, social ties, obligations and family life to factor in.If you could spend as much time gaming in your thirties as you did as a teenager you'd be just as good and just as fast because you'd be able to put the time in to hone your skills.
I am 19 years old and have benign pvcs. Can I ride roller coasters?
I've ridden roller coasters at cedar point before (the biggest one being the gemini) and have been all right. I lost my breath on the drops but does everyone get the feeling? Is it normal to not be able to breath for a second? I was wondering if there are ways to stop the losing of your breath feeling because it's on the drops that bother me. I do have pvcs and they say you should not ride roller coasters if u have an irregular heart beat but since I've ridden them before and was OK could i try bigger ones? and since my pvcs are benign does that even constitute an irregular heart beat? I heard many people have them. Also I heard screaming makes it so u can breath better on drops, are there any other tips?
Metoprolol for PVC's?
Metoprolol or Atenolol (both beta blockers) is usually the first medication prescribed for PVCs. Depending on your heart rate and blood pressure readings, people are started on anywhere from 12.5 mg (extremely low dose) to 50 mg, and can be titrated up to 100 to 200 mg a day. It can make you feel tired, and some cannot tolerate it because they feel crappy on it. Others do just fine on it with very few side effects. People that have frequent PVCs that find them very bothersome and cannot tolerate beta blockers can also try an anti-arrythmic medication called propafenone (Rhythmol). This is only prescribed in someone with no history of coronary disease and a structurally normal heart. Otherwise, you seem to have found what your "trigger" is, so keep up the good work on trying to quit smoking, and try to keep stress under control, you may not need any medicine at all! Good luck, hope this helps.
Can PVCs shorten a lifespan?
Below is a brief summary of what a PVC is, what causes them and the treatment (if any) for PVCs. You can find additional information in an article in New England Journal of Medicine, May 7, 1998, Vol. 338, pages 1369-1374. Your local medical library will have a copy of this. Hope this helps. PVCs (premature ventricular contractions) are "extra" heartbeats occurring out of sync with the normal regular rhythm of the heart. PVCs may cause no symptoms at all or may be felt as a "irregular" heartbeat or as the sensation of a "hard heartbeat". PVCs are common findings in persons with otherwise normal hearts, in which case the prognosis is excellent and there is no decrease at all in life expectancy. On the other hand, they may indicate that there is an underlying abnormality of the heart muscle (from any number of reasons). If there is an abnormality, then the prognosis and treatment depends upon the specific problem of the heart. The usual evaluation of PVCs is a history, physical examination, and electrocardiogram (ECG). Also your doctor may wish to check an ultrasound of the heart. If all those tests are normal, then you would fall into the category of people who have PVCs but otherwise no underlying heart problem. In that case, treatment depends on how much the PVCs bother you. If they are essentially asymptomatic, then no treatment is required. If they bother you, then a medication called a "beta-blocker" may reduce the frequency of the PVCs. PVCs cant be "cured", but the medication can decrease their frequency. The potential side effects of beta-blockers are tiredness, impotence in men and breathing difficulties in individuals with underlying lung disease. Be sure to discuss these issues with your doctor and under no circumstance should you take medications for the heart without the supervision of a doctor. http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Heart-Disea...
