Hi All. I've never checked out the ECA forums, but this story made me want to share it. It's fun. This is from a site run by Zinch, a scholarship program.

Pretty straightforward URL. :D

My favorite little excerpt is

[QUOTE] So you’re saying, “yeah, but I want to be a doctor, so thanks but no thanks.” Well, funny you mention it, because:

I also like how they specifically reference Unreal Tournament and Counter Strike as games that make you smarter.
