I picked up Brain Age today, and I decided it would make for a great ElroyHead.Com series. Unfortunately, that means I had to wait until I finished the above awesome fancy logo before i could start playing it.

I'm going to track my results as often as I can, so here we go.

So this guy is apparently a doctor of neuroscience. He's just a floating head. How can he be a doctor? I don't know. Perhaps it's like Futurama, with the heads in the jars. In fact, I think it is exactly like that.

I'm setting the date and time right now. I think this is a brain exercise, like "hey if you can't tell what time it is you should return this game immediately." Games are jerks.

I guess I forgot to set my clock one hour ahead on the DS. I never realized it would count as a "clock".

It's showing me some brain scans. I like brain scans!!

Okay, it's asking me to make sure the room is quiet. I'm about to start training!

I'm being asked to say the colors of words that show. The words are the names of colors. So it looks like Yellow Red and so on. Let's see how it goes...

I had to do 50, and I kept going "R--Yellow." That test is tricky.

It made me sign my name and enter my age. Are they building some kind of profile? Like, a blackmail profile?! I don't know. The writing recognition is pretty cool, though.

Drumroll, please...

Current Brain Age: 56

I think they timed the test. Oh well.

With great training comes great results, as they say. Nobody actually says that, but I just made it up, so it's gotta hold some weight. Check back frequently to keep tabs on my brain age!
