Today was a VERY IMPORTANT day for me. I read every single Babysitter’s Club book when I was a kid. Once when I was 9, I waited in line for 4 hours at my local bookstore to meet Ann M Martin. And today I got this in the mail from her. I feel so lucky that I grew up with books about girls who worked together, supported each other, were entrepreneurs, and who all had very different personalities. I still identify as a Kristy mixed with Stacey and a dash of Dawn. Which babysitter are you?

Blaming acts of real-world violence on video games is nothing but an unscientific distraction from what we already know can cause them.
Video games are a convenient scapegoat; something people easily draw as an obvious link. The simplistic idea that players become desensitised to in-game violence and are therefore more likely to carry out violence in the real world, as a result, is a simple one to accept at face value.

In 1999, Danish toy company Lego made a huge announcement: it had signed a license with Lucasfilm Ltd. to produce a series of toys based on the Star Wars films, the first time in the company’s history that it made such a deal. The move wasn’t without major qualms within the company; for decades, it had eschewed such deals, but competition from other toy brands loomed, and company officials worried about being overtaken. The decision would ultimately propel Lego to become one of the largest toy companies in the world.

In January, the popular media streaming app Plex announced a new VR app that allowed users to watch movies and TV shows on their own or together with friends in VR. It was a cool idea, though compatibility was restricted to just the Google Daydream. Now, there’s good news for Plex users with different VR headsets who want to lounge around with their friends but not actually be with them: Plex has brought its VR movie app to the Gear VR courtesy of the Oculus store.

Gamers I know fall into three groups, immature, escapism and addicted. If you have missed work a few times because you were exhausted from gaming all night that might mean you are irresponsible and need to grow up. To be an addict, gaming would have to significantly disrupt your life, work and relationships. If most of your relationships are in the gaming world, that is a red flag. It is easy to get caught up in a world that is more rewarding than the real world. I know people who have quit jobs because it cut into their gaming time and he was an adult!
