gametaroo! - Videogames: The Destroyer of Minds?

On page 15 of the London Evening Standard’s 2nd November 2011 edition is a large picture of the singer Lara Del Rey. There’s nothing untoward about that - she has, after all, recently enjoyed UK pop chart success with her single ‘Video Games’ managing to reach the top then. It’s not until you scan down the page and read the accompanying headline that you might - if you are a videogamer - find your interest being piqued:

'Video's Killed the Brain Cells'

As it transpires the story, written by Richard Godwin, is a small slice of praise for Del Rey’s song - ‘Video Games’, we are told, is a ‘heartbreaking ballad’ and a ‘perfect modern pop song, as authentic as they come. It takes an ancient theme (unrequited love) and puts it in a contemporary context (the object of her love keeps ignoring her, retreating into video games).

‘Video Games’ really is a lovely track, and one that deserves to be heard if you haven’t heard it already.

It is in the final pa...

Seriously though this is nonsense, there is absolutely no proof that games have any ill effect on a persons health or psyche.

Imagine being so rich that another Billion is just not worth the hassle... LoL :) -Sorry just can't relate...

thorstein184d ago

Reminds me of the story of some ultra rich d-bag that had so much wine that he couldn't possibly drink it all so he had to sell like 10 million dollars worth of it. No one has earned that much wealth without exploiting others.

Roarke183d ago

Thats not true.. there are ppl who for example discovered cure are super rich due patent..

Cacabunga183d ago

A GTA movie will end like a fast and furious.. omg one of the worst movie series ever..

Notellin183d ago

@Roarke The scientist that discoveres the cure doesn't become rich. The patent will belong to Lilly, Pfizer, Merck, or Roche.

The money made is then disseminated amongst the executive board members and administration teams who provide zero value to the company. The scientists will continue to be exploited receiving raises and bonuses that do not beat inflation.

Again exploiting others in order to become rich.
