You know the ones. The ones where you have to do training, and then run a test to find out how old your brain actually is.
Which, is probably not very scientific whatsoever.
But anyhoo, I've been playing More Brain Training more regularly the the original Brain Training (though when I say regularly, I mean once every few months).
Out of all my Nintendo DS games, I play Mario Kart DS the most often, which was, and still is a great game. I will get myself a Nintendo 3DS,and get some 3DS games soon. Once I'm earning, this is.
Back to the topic of this: the original Brain Training game. Now, every so often, when you log in, it asks you questions, to warm your brain up, and then asks the same questions a few days later, and compares your answers, to see how your memory is.
It did this to me today.
Here's the thing: it asked me the following:
"What colour (sic) clothes were you wearing on 8/4?"
Now, by 8/4, this is 8th April, not August 4 - the latter being what I associate with the date "8/4". But anyway, what I wrote in the answer box was:
"Now, what year was this?" - since it didn't have the actual year, seeing as though it assumes you play semi-regularly.
The results were interesting. Not only did I not write anything in the answer box on "8/4", but here's the interesting bit... scrolling through when I last played this game, it turns out that the "8/4" that they were talking about, was actually in 2013.
Yes, April the 8th, 2013!
Ask yourself (or myself) this: how the fuck am I supposed to remember what color clothes I was wearing almost 4 and a half years ago! In fact, chances are I don't even have any clothes from 4 and a half years ago, due to them now being either too small for me, or being used so much that they've worn themselves out (and therefore binned ages ago). After all, this was when I was just about finishing my A Levels, and therefore when I was about a stone lighter than I am now, or about 2-3 inches smaller at my chest and waist...
Plus, I have a totally different fashion taste now than what I did 4 and a half years ago!
