In the wake of the nuclear bomb that Nintendo dropped on the gaming world (read: the Wii), I managed to squeeze my way through the rubble to bring you the new weekly Brain Age Chronicles update.

This past week was interesting. I'm doing Brain Age Checks at night, now, so I'm not sure how that affects my performance.

I've been getting the worst Word Memory scores EVER, and I've noticed it's when I've got a TV on in the background. This is evident on the Chart of Wonders (tentative title), where a two-day Spike of Dumbness (tentative title) appears.

I also got my best Word Memory score ever, because I made the words into a song. Yeah, I did. 21 words. Try it.

This week unlocked a new Brain Age test, Speed Counting. Apparently you're supposed to count from 1 to 120, out loud, and then touch the button on the screen. This seems like the easiest game to cheat at, and yet my overwhelming dedication to the honesty of this test led me not to take advantage of that. Plus it's not as fun.

I also unlocked a new Training game, Triangle Math. Triangle Math is pretty much like CalcX20, but with three things you gotta add together. There are three numbers at the top, and you need to add them together in a weird way. If the numbers were A, B, and C, the equation of Triangle Math is (A+B) + (B+C) = Your Answer Here, 'cause that's how Triangle Math rolls.

As of last night:

Current Brain Age: 25

Here's a big fat nightcrawler of CHART:
