Well, as most probably do, I have a group of guys I get together every now and then and play halo with. well I've noticed that we're all pretty smart. I mean we're all juniors and just took our act's, and most of us did damn good. I got a 28, tim got a 35(yes a 35, smart a-hole), stephan got a 30 and paul got a 31. So is there a link? You be the judge.

Plenty of smart people play halo, but in my experience it doesn't seem to make anybody smarter. At college it can be a real grade killer - but grades are not an indication of smarts. A friend of mine actually left his Xbox with me and my roommate so that he wouldn't kill his own grades playing all the time.

It's definitely worth the grades hit though. At least to me.

I wouldn't say that it makes you smarter, but does it make your intelligence quotient diminish?

In the "No your stupid" answer, you mispelled "you're." Therefore I voted for that.

Actually, I have found that playing Halo for long periods of time has made me forgetful, even diminishes my ranking of "smartness" for a short period of time until I stop playing.

But I still love it. Bungie knows what they are doing...
