You've been granted a new ability!

Playing FPS games can improve your vision. Well, that's according to a new study from the University of Rochester. Now, I'm usually skeptical of all studies because frankly, most studies are to grab headlines and get more fame for the studiers. However, of the information available on this study, which is not a lot, there's not much to doubt or critique. It appears that shooter games do make your vision better.

So let's see... now if we were making a drug ad.
