Annual Video Game Report Card Is Positive, For Once 75
Every year, the National Institute on Media and the Family releases a report card which grades various aspects of the video game industry on how well they keep "inappropriate" games out of the hands of children. This year's report was largely positive, which is surprising given the history of strong criticism by the Institute. They acknowledged that gaming is becoming a much bigger part of family life than it was in the past, and they're making an effort to shift the focus onto the parents to keep their kids' gaming habits under control. The full report is available here (PDF), and Game Daily has an interview with Entertainment Software Alliance CEO Michael Gallagher which touches on some of the same issues.

Wandering Wombat's kids are allowed to play violent games.
The nephews are "only allowed non-violent games" and are addicted to Pokemon. That means your rant was pointed at Wandering Wombat's sibling and not at Wandering Wombat him/herself.
