Video Games block pain, new study states

Hmm. That's why I never feel any pain. I just thought I was dead inside.
Anyway, researchers at Wheeling Jesuit University have found that playing certain types of video games can reduce experiences of pain. The study found that playing fighting and sports games can act on the body just like anesthesia can.
"Physicians could possible implement this in their office to aid in distraction during a painful procedure such as injection or dental work. Video games could also be used in waiting rooms to distract patients from upcoming surgical procedures."
