"In any other case, it wouldn’t even be a story, but where there is smoke, there is fire. I smell smoke here. Did Apple deliver a briefcase of cash to EA? No. Do I believe there was some agreement between the two? More than ever."

Pulitzer prize winning journalism story of the year.

... Yes? Haven't you ever found it weird that 99% of video games have little 2-3 minute movies every few levels where all the rules, character actions, and motivations are completely different from what just happened while you're shooting dudes in the face?

Minority media? Finally, a game studio with a significant percentage of African Americans.

I was disappointed because Steve Jobs taught me that presentations should be mind blowing.

man, i don't know about TED sometimes

The secret to TED's success is that they tell people what they want to hear: school actually DOES suck, social dysfunction is actually GOOD for you, anyone can be creative, unlock your potential, you're differently smart, think outside the box. So if you're ever feeling dull, or dumb, uncreative, introverted, unmotivated, or bored, go to ted.com, listen to a smart person tell you that your weaknesses are actually special and awesome secret strengths, and feel good about yourself.

if we're expected to take Giant Bomb seriously as a journalistic entity

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Is this your first time on the site? This is a website where a bunch of grown men fart around and play video games, not the New York Times. Their mascot is a deer in a luchador mask. They sell tee shirts with the slogan "Fuck Ryan Davis" on them. Come on, dude.

@Video_Game_King: That article is misleading anyway. It is less about the "Negative Influence of Games" than a sad man describing using video games as a crutch to escape from his sad reality.

You should watch the TED talk parodies on the Onion youtube channel too. Some TED talks are great, but there's some Jonah Lehrer-style BS in there.

Uh didn't they teach you to check sources in journalism school?
