GN Version 3.1

If you’re watching [Mental], you probably caught last night’s episode in which a kid is deprived of videogames, and therefore invents one in his head. But the problem is that the videogame he invents in his head sucks… the kid ends up freaking out, hurting his mother with a knife, and then going catatonic. I know how he feels. I’ve played some bad videogames in my time, too. The kid’s hands keep twitching as if he were playing a videogame. With a console controller, of course… The situation is resolved when the sensitive physician with a lot of time on his hands guides his misunderstood patient through how to play the imaginary videogame… Once he’s beat the game in his head, he reconciles with his neglectful father and starts on his medication. - Fidgit’s Tom Chick

Wow, that show sounds pretty damn weird! I know we talked about it before the show aired, but did any of you actually check it out? I completely forgot it was on, to be honest! I guess it’s because I am too addicted to games.
