Upon the advice of a young guy I know who really, REALLY loves video gaming, I watched the following TED TALK (a wonderful series of expert lectures which you should definitely know about). And I have to agree with him that this is a very engaging thought. So, if you have a gaming boy(s) at your house, take the time, MAKE the time to watch.
p.s., I double-dog dare you to invite him to join you.

Sorry mam dont mean to disrespect, but boys are by no means the only ones who play video games. around 46% of gamers are in fact women/girls.
