(Gaming)
Videogames have reached an astonishing level of sophistication. The term 'game' barely even applies to many of the current crop; they have become virtual realities, entire worlds into which one can disappear.
Such elaborate, valuable and stimulating pastimes, when viewed through the distorted lens of 'The Man', become another threat to our way of life. That's right folks, Mario wants to eat your children...
My take on this issue is that videogames are cathartic. Every video beasty that I chop up with a sword lowers the odds that I'll someday snap and go on a kill-crazy rampage in real life.
Just look at him, with his 'gang signs' and his jaunty Kangol 'M' cap.
He must be stopped....
