I must confess I was thinking of that cartoon when I wrote the above,  
but I couldn't find the actual cartoon in my book collection. Didn't  
think of looking for it on the net. Maybe if I were a gamer I would  
have associated cartoons with the internet ?

They do have their good sides, but I think any fair analysis would  
show a lot of potential problems as well.

The biggest thing I don't understand is why they all seem to have to  
involve violent killing, the more so the better. Surely there must be  
a way to develop hand/eye coordination without mass murder.
