To send a code in via text you must enter MTDEW (68339) in the “To:” field, with your game code as the message.

How Does Video Games Ruin Lives?
We have all seen the news stories so this isn’t really much of a surprise. But a story about a baby wondering off while the babysitter played video games, that I read this morning made me want to give my 2 cents on the topic.
Over the last 10 years or so, video games have been blamed for poor grades, violent children and of course, obesity. That is all fine and dandy, but I will not ever agree with a single person that thinks video games is the only thing to blame.
The obesity problem that we have all over the place is not to blame on video games, entirely. The reason people are fat and obese is because that over eat and, of course, eat like crap. Many people, especially reporters or researchers, love to jump all over the fact that an obese child plays video games too much. What they should be doing is talking with the parents and outlining how important a good diet is for their young child.
Besides those things, I would say that if you or your child is addicted to video games, that can also be quite a strain on life. Always making time for something like video games, adds stress and keeps people from a normal routine. If you wait to play games when you have free time, the stress is less and the likelihood of addiction is much less as well.
What do you think about the effects of gaming too much or being addictied to video games?
