See, video games aren’t all bad…
The Daily Mail, a web paper located in the United Kingdom, has reported that children are now less likely to have an injury from falling out of a tree, and the reason…more kids are playing video games than playing outside!
Seven years ago the chances were about equal. But as the lives of “the Xbox generation” have become dominated by sedentary activities, the likelihood of them having an outdoor accident has plummeted.
In 2006/07 – the latest year for which data is available – 1,067 children under 15 needed medical assistance for tree falls. In 1999/00 the figure was 1,823.
I don’t ever want to hear someone telling me I’m wasting my time by playing Lord of the Rings Online or the PlayStation. It’s just my form of self-preservation. I mean goodness, I could walk outside and sprain my ankle going down the driveway. It’s much safer sitting on my rear playing games…

Guitar Hero – Aerosmith…
So most people probably know already that Guitar Hero Aerosmith is coming out June 29th, and the latest news had stated that it would be other bands than Aerosmith. That to me is a good thing since I know of a handful of Aerosmith songs that I like, and those would be much better suited to Rock Band than Guitar Hero. Anyway, G4TV has posted a new trailer showing some of the content and at least confirming the presence of other bands. How much is everyone else looking forward to this version?
