Hey Bob, how are we doing on that Henderson file? The deadline is fast approaching and we really need to get this locked down. This is a Million Dollar Account and we don't want to let it slip through our fingers. We should meet for lunch on Wednesday, no make that Thursday, you know, to discuss this and see where we are. Let's meet at Carlito's Cabo Cactus Room for the Cactus Margaritas and we'll brainstorm the details. We don't want to let that jerk Bartowski get the account like this time last year.

The Netherlands opened the first video game addiction clinic. They report that 95%+ of all their clients are habitual cannabis smokers (Stoners).

Update: In June 2006, the Smith and Jones Clinic in Amsterdam – which has now gone bankrupt – became the first treatment facility in Europe to offer a residential treatment program for compulsive gamers. Keith Bakker, founder and former head of the clinic, has stated that 90% of the young people who seek treatment for compulsive computer gaming are not addicted.

Sociologist Talmadge Wright has logged many hours observing online communities interact with and react to violent video games, concluding that meta-gaming (conversation about game content) provides a context for thinking about rules and rule-breaking. In this way there are really two games taking place simultaneously: one, the explicit conflict and combat on the screen; the other, the implicit cooperation and comradeship between the players. Two players may be fighting to death on screen and growing closer as friends off screen. Social expectations are reaffirmed through the social contract governing play, even as they are symbolically cast aside within the transgressive fantasies represented onscreen.
