Say what you will about Alec Baldwin as a father, but when I read this shit I was floored. As a parent, something like this just doesn't compute. I can't even begin to imagine what a suitable punishment would be. First and foremost, sterilization for the both of them. That aside, who are these officials who have the balls to assert that video game addiction is the cause? Ima go out on a big tree branch and say it has more to do with the fact that they are lazy, selfish douchebags. Hell, they were too lazy to even get off their asses and go buy some meth. And the cherry on the top of this diarrhea sundae is: the two deadbeat dorks were playing -- Dungeons & fuckin' Dragons. So for punishment, I say lock them both in a real dungeon with a loom and a butter churn. Give them a history lesson in technology while they make clothes and cheese for the needy for the next 12 years.
I would add that they should have to bathe in cat urine.
That's detestable.

Is this bad? I know a couple that does this. They've got 4 kids and, after work, they come home and play World of Warcraft all night until they go to bed. I've never met their kids so I can't say how emaciated they are, but, yeah... they kinda just game all day.
Also, because you might be wondering, yeah, they're also annoying dickbags and I tend to avoid them at all costs.

This may be a stupid question, but when did this two "addicts" find time to procreate? With their busy D&D schedule, it would seem like gettin' busy would be way too involved and time consuming.

"He received a $50,000 inheritance that he spent on computer equipment and a large plasma television, authorities said."
this guy is a fucking twat. Any normal guy would blow his inheritance on Hookers and Coke..

"When did they procreate?" A more relevant (and grosser) question is how did they procreate?

I'm not sure he's listening, Dave.
