But unless you and your bros all went to a New England prep school, chances are you haven't the slightest clue. It always surprises me when, on an occasion that requires neck accoutrement, a lot of guys pull out ties that have been tied ONCE years ago by their fathers and then hung noose-like in their closets, ready and waiting for their next opportunity.

My Video Game Is Too Violent For My Girlfriend

I recently acquired Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and I freakin' love it. My girlfriend, on the other hand, does not. She says that it has pushed the envelope too far. Apparently, controlling the actions of a fake terrorist as he blows away fake innocent bystanders can be considered morally reprehensible. And while I am happy to just agree to disagree (it's FAKE! It's a VIDEO GAME!) about the amoral implications of MW2, she is not. It is beginning to put a strain on our relationship. What do I do?

8 Ways To Hide Your Video Game Addiction

t's the wake-up call of 2009. If Andy Murray - millionaire, sports super-star, and stud (with an accent no less...chicks love accents!) - cannot hold onto his lady because of an alleged video game "problem," hope is dwindling for the rest of us. Because, when it comes down to it, we probably don't have 1/3 of Andy's appeal.

Pick up the old pigskin your freshman year of high school just to be one of the guys, and you had better be satisfied with standing in tight little pants on the sidelines for a season because you sure as heck are not going to play. It's the same for all the big-name sports. In a world where suburban soccer moms rule, if talent and devotion do not come early, give up. You'll never be any good.
