@nbaxley: I was wondering if I was the only one thinking this ...

I've been a long time lurker of this site (and Gizmodo, Lifehacker and Kotaku), and I finally signed up, so I could say thank you for this article, for a few reasons.

I have to admit, I opened this article with the intention to scoff and ridicule or mock it, but then read Edward Swing's quote, and found myself thinking 'Actually, that's pretty reasonable. [Insert ADD-style joke here].'

My answer to the article's question is another question: Why do people play games when they can read books?

2 Thoughts: 1) The Basketball has a name? Or is it just his secret identity, but before a hot streak, he's just an average every day reporter Basketball? (Until he removes his glasses of course.)

The 360 and PS3 are still definitely in their Prime, the way that John McClane was in Die Hard 3. We still have at least one more absurd 'using cars as weapons' movie .. er .. few years in both.
