I was at BeyondUnreal earlier, and I saw on their newspage a link to an MSNBC story about that very thing - they drug in the whole "Violent Games = Violent People?" debate into it, though... (PFFT!) Here's the link, by the way:

Anyway, it looks like Joe Lieberman and his kind can take their anti-game crud and...

Nope, not going there! My posts are rated "E" for "Everyone". :P

Damn you. I saw this same story on MSN in school and was going to post it. Ah, whatever.

I have noticed this also. I also was going to say that most gamers are smarter than people who don't play video games. I think there was a thread in Misc, something about cheating on tests. I thought it was pretty interesting that most people got good grades, despite the fact that video games/TV supposedly "rot your brain".
