I know playing computer and video games does having a soothing effect on me. I don't really have a temper (I let my wife have hers, though), but a good game of SEIV or Civ or SimCity or any of the multitude of "god" games out there does perk me up. I haven't really like arcade-type games since I was a young teen and they first started coming out. GTA and Half-life and other gorefest games just don't appeal to me. I might play the occassional game when I happen to be in a place that has them, like this past Saturday when I was Chuck E. Cheese for my son's birthday party.
