You aren't already? Could have sworn that was you in the room next to mine.

Lol. That explains my indigestion. I thought the 5:00pm early bird special had gone bad. Instead, it's an inconvenient truth lurking just down the hall. . .

Has someone told CNN that the kids that grew up on Atari 2600s and first I generation NESs are now 45 and starting to retire from the military?

Interestingly, the original CNN article does not once use the phrase "video game generation." That's the analysis the blogger chose to make about what they thought the cnn article was suggesting.

The cnn article isn't particularly informative, but it's waaaay, waaay more informative than the bloviagger's invented spin.   

Bloviagger <-not a word, and probably shouldn't be.
