Why Guys Have to Play Video Games
I came up with a theory today while mowing the lawn (which I enjoy doing, and so that I can tease Wes about losing his Man-Card). I think that the reason why guys are so lost in their video games hearkens back to tribal times. Back then all men served for the protection of the village, save it be the very young or very old. This is what men were made for. When they weren't actively hunting or building or somehow providing for their family, they were strategizing protecting for them. Video games are now filling that void. They have moved their excess strategy and aggression needs to video games. Really most of them that play VG are bored and uninspired by their jobs where they are fulfilling the roll of providing for thier families. S currently I can't think of a game that doesn't provide some outlet for pent up aggression, strategy and competition.

I like that. When I first saw the title I was afraid I would finnaly have to publish my stay at home mom blog.
I like your theory. I think if Hitler had had the video games we do there would not have been a ww2, as for the current war, bush is obviously too old to think let alone play video games.
Hmmm..... I never thought of it that way. It makes a lot of sense. I would think Merritt would be playing "build the shed" games, or maybe "weed the garden" or something. Maybe I can actually get him to do it this summer!
