Video games: the new skin-lightener

Thanks to Xbox Live I haven’t been outside for 3 months. So now I suffer from temporary blindness and skin cancer when I go out to the “Asian” supermarket to buy shrimp chips. I don’t remember being this addicted to games since Tetris. Those were the good ol’ days. When I was your age, I used to walk 5 miles to school through 3 feet of snow playing Tetris on the ORIGINAL Gameboy. I’d spend a summer’s worth of savings, 70 cents, playing Pacman at the penny arcade; the only arcade this side of the Mississippi at that time. (Back when California was still a colony and the Philippines was called “Yuta sa mga Bisaya”).
