I often wonder whether or not, if we hooked up an EKG and watched 200 people play five hours of an MMO, if we would see the part of the brain responsible for empathy and sympathy stimulated. I then go on to suspect that we wouldn't and begin to wonder if these games are killing empathetic responses in our generation.

Then I read this.

From March 23rd to August 31st, 2011, Square Enix collected donations of Square Enix Crysta to help provide aid to the areas affected by the Tohoku earthquake. We are proud to announce that a total of 7,281,788 yen.

Hats off to those who donated and man, I am glad to say that I'm a part of a gamerbase that is capable of this.

Stay classy, FF peeps.

*stays classy*

I wonder how they are doing over there now ?

Not to rain on the parade, but didn't SE offer incentives for donating? <_< A good portion of those donations are probably only because they wanted the items and what not.

ummm.....no?

fix'd for you.

idk about seeing the parts related to sympathy and empathy light up maybe on a few ppl it would light up, but the majority of the brain part areas that are going to light up are most likely going to be envy, jealousy, greed, hate, anger, those parts are going to light up like the 4th of july. That's such a sad thing =(.

$95411.08 US dollars at current exchange rate, wow not bad! Kudos to everyone who donated.

i donated 300$ worth of crysta :3

Well I just got word from a friend who moved to Japan about 11 years ago that he is coming back to canada.
