Good morning.
The VA shrink thinks I'm crazy to play shooters, but the bottom line is that they help me sleep. I stop for awhile and I start to get twitchy and have difficulty sleeping again.
A side effect is that they helped me recover from a stroke because of the need to manipulate the keys despite my paralysis , and the need to engage the brain in problem solving under stress. I'll never recover completely, but I can rack the slide on my pistols and hunt virtual Nazis and Commies, so I can live with it.
There were moments in the Games 'Vietcong', 'Men Of Valor' and 'Brothers in Arms' that made me sweat, but I was very calm and relaxed after I had figured out how to survive. I assume that I'll figure out the psychology involved someday.

(If you aren't part of the solution, there is good money to be made prolonging the problem.)
