    [Bloomberg] The Real Cost of Being a Video Gamer

    A Plugged-In Generation
    William "Bing" Gordon, the co-founder of Electronic Arts, says playing video games builds skills that translate into success later in life. "Games have been so ubiquitous in the formative years of so many adults that the structure of games is now appearing in many different walks of life," he says. Gordon cites airlines, advertisers and health care companies, among others. Financial website SaveUp, for example, uses contests and badges to reward customers who save more. Such methods, adds Gordon, could make today's kids one of the most productive generations ever.

    Bloomberg Rankings examined the cost of becoming video gamers for a family of four based in San Francisco.

    my fav quote from the whole article.
    "Warren says hard-core gamers often soup up systems by adding motherboards, boosting RAM and optimizing graphics."

    Oh yes, i like to add motherboards to my computer, Fatherboards as well. How many motherboard to you guys have?
    Sigh, research is an important part of the writing process. Don't skip it.

    Ha, I was just about to mention something like that.

    Personally bro, I have about twenty motherboards in my rig. Four are overclocked and three are running Windows Mac Edition.

    Legit for now, legit for life. I'm on Raptr, Last.fm, Twitter, and I even blog sometimes.
