[It’s time for anotherMonthly Musing— the monthly community blog theme that provides readers with a chance to get their articles and discussions printed on the frontpage. — CTZ] As some of you have found out, I’m an MMO player. That’s right, I buy a game so I can pay for the privilege of playing it every month. Now, this article isn’t about MMO’s or monthly fees, but since I’m currently hobbiting my way around Middle Earth, I’ve noticed a common trend in RPG’s that pertains to this month’s theme and I thought I’d share it with you all....

It was only a few days ago that my wife and I were watching television when we saw a video for a mashup of The Door’s “Riders on the Storm” and Blondie’s “Rapture.” We were shocked — not only were we not aware that they actually made music videos for mashups, but it was absolutely awful.

Another MMO closes its virtual doors asFuryhas officially terminated its server and Web site like an atheist mother.

According to a new British-backed Taiwanese study, videogames canbe a contributing factorin rising stress levels and anxiety in young people. So, not only are theysolely responsiblefor school shootings and rapists, they could now give you a heart attack. Ace! The research proposes that videogames instigate humanity’s “fight or flight” instinct, which in turn can inadvertently release adrenaline into the body. However, since the human body is neither fightingnorflying during the average gameplay session, that rogue adrenaline simply sits there, and could potentially cause anxiety problems due to an “adrenaline overload....
