I found myself actually watching the news last night when this little gem of a feature came on. As soon as it was over I set my DVR to tape the re-airing at 2am so that I could get this piece on YouTube to share with you all of you. It's from Action News on ABC in Philly. There's really nothing else that I need to say about this so enjoy:

"children or adults who become obsessed with video games often have a history of struggling with depression or anxiety. The game, she says, is simply a catalyst, similar to drugs, alcohol or gambling."

dammit. I'm calling them.

I like how it ends with a response from the game, not the company that makes it. Nice fact checking.

The Mom of the "EverQuest" gamer who killed himself is just upset that she failed her son as a parent and is blaming the video game instead of herself.
