UK's Sunday Times Advocates Video Game Tax

To combat the problem [of obesity] before it spirals out of control, the Sunday Express today urges the Government to plough the huge amount of tax generated from video games revenue into developing sports ­facilities for children.

This is a rather hilarious article that once again places the blame of obesity in children on video games. They encourage a tax to games so that the money can be used to advocate outdoor activities for children.

Personal responsibility or taxing unhealthy foods? Naaaaah. We don't need that around there.

Madden 10 Predicts Saints to Win Super Bowl XLIV

Going against many experts I've heard over the last week or so, EA's Madden 10 simulator predicts that the New Orleans Saints will win Super Bowl XLIV over the Indianapolis Colts, 35-31.

Madden 10 has been surprisingly accurate in the past, getting 5 of the last 6 predictions correct, including getting within one point of the correct total score.

Me? I don't bet against Peyton Manning's rocket laser arm.
