I think so. I find that anything that completely takes you out of the moment can be meditative and give you perspective.

 

But the one pointed focus that is developed out of bullet hell games sounds a whole lot like a lot of meditations. BUT, I don't think it clears and goes into the same depth as when you close your eyes and learn to interact with your internal world.

What a great post and vid link!

 

Yes, exactly.

 

I used to zone out in Quake 3, I'd win a few even with my 56k modem.

 

Aren't zoning out and liminal spaces where its at, man?

I'm a big touhou fan (they even have taoism and buddhism as religions in the storylines), it does. Lots of concentration is required on the game so as soon as you break your concentration, you'll die.
