The Dangers of Online Gaming
There've been a couple of articles recently looking at the dangers inherent in online gaming - mostly for children, and mostly related to the interactions they might have with other gamers. I bypassed the first one, yesterday, from the Lansing State Journal, because it was somewhat tangential to Halo (it mentioned the game only once, and then used a picture of a kid playing it)... but this morning, there's a second one, from the Battle Creek Enquirer, which focuses a bit more on Halo 2. (Is there new legislation pending in Michigan, or something?) In fact, if you visit the front page of the Enquirer's website, you'll find that these two stories make up 2/3 of the top of the screen - whether you believe this is a real issue or not, readers of this newspaper are going to get the impression that it's a pretty big problem. Have an opinion about this stuff? Sound off on our forum. (Louis Wu 14:48:25 UTC)
