Video Game Addiction Gone Awry

Some sort-of sad news today from Destructoid blog as it reports that a man killed his son over a missing video game. We don't know how much we can say about that other than that we believe part of the fun of gaming is the addiction and the mental challenge of repeated play. However, we do think that gaming in no way should interfere with any part of your life or stoke your other addictions.

So, kids, enjoy our gaming material over to the right here, but, please please try to get out into the fresh air and enjoy some sunlight.

And now for something on the lighter side:

MTV adds Facebook and Twitter based show

Now a game based on this would be very sweet. I like the idea of an asyncronous game that leverages your friend's twitter and facebook updates regardless of whether or not they are playing the game with you.
