For every person that's on the rampage about the horrors of videogames, there seems to be another than claims that they have played an essential role in his or her life. Take Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe for example, who mentioned in an interview with The Daily Beast that videogames were more than just a leisure activity:
"I have a very mild form of (dyspraxia) it. I’ve gotten it mostly under control now. I played a lot of video games as a kid which really helped it. It basically surfaces as bad coordination."
You see, haters? If Daniel had never played games and improved his movement ability, he wouldn't be where he is today, which would be a damn shame since he looks pretty freaking good naked next to that horse in the pic above.

I like his hair.
You put me in a tough spot here Colette, I want to appreciate this picture, but I can remember when Daniel Radcliffe was a really tiny kid, like ten minutes ago, and then I feel like a dirty old lady. Doesn't he need a permission slip to be handling that horse like that?
What's even better is that's not the entire picture.
ooooooohh.
/facepalm
Anyways... glad there's some positive press for games.
No. Seriously.
Not that I'd kick him out of bed...
Um, I mean, yay videogames!
Even my dad, who found out late in life that he suffered dyspraxia, has improved because of computer gaming.
See, they're not all evil!
Doesn't sound like a fair trade to me.
for reals.
We need more games about how to land on the floor properly.
