I Knew All That Duck Hunt Was Good For Something...
Looks like Scientists have finally confirmed what I would often tell my mom when I was 7. Video games are good for you. Not just any video games, the shoot 'em up violent action games. So, next time you decide to pick up a book, think twice. What does that do for your hand eye coordination and fine contrast differences perception? That's right...nothing. Put down that book, and pick up a video game controller instead. Suck it, reading!

Video games make me angry!
Another study is out about how violent video games make children angry. I'm not quite sure still why doing a lot of fantasy violence in a fantasy video game world is reason for people to not be able to distinguish between right and wrong. I played lots of duck hunt as a kid, and you don't see me out shooting at birds or the dog retrieving my kills. My skills at super mario brothers didn't leave me thinking I could grow from eating the right mushroom or hook up with a mushroom princess. If only video games were more like real life, but alas, they're not.
I swear my child was well mannered before those awful video games!

John, Paul, George, Ringo and You
Looks like The Beatles are finally going digital. Now, you can horrify your friends and family with your terribly butchered versions of Beatles classics. That sounds like fun for everyone.
I wonder if I have to buy new rock band instruments for this?
