Study Claims That Pokemon Go Decreases Depression
Pokemon Go’s unique Augmented Reality gameplay made an instant worldwide trend. The launch of the game has brought about many things like people going out to look for Pokemon. We’ve also seen distracted persons getting in trouble and silly falls because of the game. Nevertheless, what has Pokemon Go contributed to society? This is exactly what a certain study has answered. The study, conducted by Zhi Cheng of the London School of Economics, focused on determining whether Pokemon Go has unintentionally helped in some ways, specifically in decreasing depression. How can he possibly confirm this? Zhi Cheng used an interesting metric to reach an evidence-based conclusion. He took depression-related search data from 166 regions in 12 different countries before and after the launch date of Pokemon GO. Of course, he also took the release dates in each region into consideration.The search terms include 'depression,' 'stress,' 'anxiety,' and 'fatigue'. Upon examining the data he compiled, Zhi Cheng found out that there was a 'significant short-term decrease' in depression-related searches after Pokemon Go’s launch. The study also says that 'like any short-term treatment' the symptoms of depression returned once the treatment was stopped. Based on these findings, the researcher deduced that Pokemon Go may help in decreasing depression and these facts show that the significant decrease can be more credibly attributed to Pokemon Go’s launch. Well, with Pokemon Go encouraging people to go out and interact with others and take walks, or even runs, for exercise, it’s no surprise that it helps with someone’s mental health.

The Man Man: Be a Serial Killer, But You Don’t Have Bones
Serial killers are vicious, fearless, and merciless. Requires a lot of backbone to be one. But not in The Man Man because you can become a frightening murderer without having a single bone in your body. Everybody can remember the fear they felt from a non-existent monster under their bed when they were kids. Well, imagine that monster getting nerfed so bad that he can only wiggle and crawl. The Man Man took that silly concept and it unexpectedly turned out to be a really fun scary game. The Man Man is a free browser game developed by corpsepile and what’s really impressive is a single individual created it in only a week! It stars a floppy serial killer called The Man Man (yes, even the creator said the name sucks), who has no bones and can only kill people by wriggling his body around. Can a creature like this really kill?You start off the game under your victim’s bed. Your main objective is to kill your sleeping victim by obtaining a knife. For someone with no bones, that’s easier said than done. Moving around is actually challenging in this game but with a little practice, you can do it. We won’t spoil the ending for you, but let’s just say it’s not what you would expect. The Man Man is overall a very simple and quick game but the weird combination of horror and comedy actually makes it fun to try. Here’s the link to the game, no download is required.https://corpsepile.itch.io/the-man-man
