I saw, and heard, one gamer completely flip out when his game stopped him doing something.

Nah, serial killing is in vogue these days. It doesn't even make waves anymore. Takes a slow news day to net a headline.

Besides, the child abuse is far more likely to give them an utter terror of being touched... while sure, the stress may crack them and the pain and shame may give them a damn good motive: they're more likely to end up as one of those super depressed people you see moping about.

And to think... it was all because little jimmy didn't put the game down like big sister said. Little jimmy should have known better.

Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
