shock! Television news once looked at video games in a positive way
JDUB X \| 5:29 AM on 04.14.2008	8 comments

Here is a vid from 1988 featuring a segment from Inside Edition.

The Subject is Super Mario Brothers and why everyone loves it

It's scary to think how different the main stream media is now.

EDIT: oh yeah, this video has been around the block a few times so it may be "old" to you

Well, game content has gotten a bit more graphic in the last 20 years. It's no wonder the media is treating GTA a bit differently than they did Mario. Also, I cblogged this already a while back. :)

about me

Hi, Im JDUB X

I play a lot of games on almost every system. I have been a Hardcore gamer since the early 90's. I somehow stumbled on to video games when I discovered my parents original Gameboy and NES. From then on I have been playing and I can honestly say I will probably never stop as long as I live. Most of my time is spent Gaming, exploring the internets, and listening to Video Game Podcasts.

My favorite genres are:
Action Adventure, Shooters, Puzzle, Racing, Platform, Portal, Action RPGs, and Music/Rythm.

I am a Gigantic LOST fan and eagerly await the safe return of the surviving Passengers of Oceanic Airlines Flight 815
