Play Nexuiz -- Science says it's good for you

Video games, long maligned for promoting violence, may also have a good side: improving eyesight. Gory "first-person shooter" games, in which players must act quickly to kill their virtual opponents, seem to have lasting effects on a key aspect of vision, a new study shows.

The article suggests playing low contrast games to increase your contrast sensitivity, and unless you're playing a map with a strong lightmap like Bleach, you won't get that in Nexuiz, and you especially won't get that if you are one Green Marine.

I guess that was an attack against all players playing using picmip + fullbright :P Anyway, I think the article is also true for Nexuiz with standars settings and non-fullbright players, like on many DM servers. Those guys are really pain in the ass to see.
