"In a sign that video games are becoming more popular as family entertainment, a national survey released Thursday indicates joysticks aren't just for kids.

Thirty-five percent, or about one in three parents, say they play, too, and 80 percent of that segment play video games with their children, according to the new survey commissioned by the Entertainment Software Association, a video game industry group."

"In a sign that video games are becoming more popular as family entertainment"

:rolleyes:

"In a sign that people who play video games actually age as well"

What kind of newsite is this, anyway. Joysticks? "Gamer-parents"?!

Over Thanksgiving break I went to visit my roommate's family. I discovered they had an old NES system and had them hook it up as a lark. We spent most of that weekend playing Dr. Mario.

His mom SCHOOLED us.
