I like it when games are referenced in popular culture; it’s my secret fetish. Granted, it’s a pretty niche fetish, but a fetish nonetheless. It also makes being a near-obsessive gamer feel slightly more socially acceptable.

You can only imagine how I felt when I saw this:

It won’t do videogames any favours when it comes to sensationalist claims that they cause violence, but it made me feel better for a short while. I’d even go as far as to say it’s up there with the time Sonic The Hedgehog was mentioned on Coronation Street!
