    Video Games Saved My Life!

    Where shall I begin...

    I woke up this morning at my normal 2am for work. I took my shower, ate breakfast and packed my lunch. Then I headed out the door around 3am.

    It was a nice morning, very dark with a slight overcast, slightly chilly and super foggy! As I'm driving down the expressway, I hear this noise. It's sputtering louder and louder. "I think that's coming from the engine," I said to myself.

    Next thing I knew, there were sparks coming from under the hood and it started to smell like oil all over. So I pull over to the side of the expressway six miles away from home in the middle of nothing. And the genius that I am, I left the cell phone at home plugged into the charger.

    So, I decided I had no option but to walk the six miles back home in the foggy dark. I grabbed my Nintendo DS and a snack from lunch and off I went.

    After I was walking for a little bit, I realized that the DS Lite has a really bright screen. So then I got a crazy idea to start waving it around as the cars passed by. I only had to walk two miles before someone picked me up.

    So maybe I wouldn't have actually died if I didn't have my DS with me, but it sure did help in a time of distress.
    Purple is not just another color, it is a way of life.

              No. Jack Thompson and naive parents say that, Misty.

                Video games only rot your eyes. And your fingers depending on which kind you play and for what duration.

                    PSP's have bright screens too. I wouldn't know which is brighter. But still.

                          You should send a letter to Nintendo. This is even better than that story about that guy who escaped when his kidnapper fell asleep after playing PSP all night. Portable games save lives, people!

                            I use my cell phone for a light when I first get to work and the warehouse is pitch black before the lights come on.

                              That's awesome. Saved you a lot of walking in the dark. This reminds me of a story about a soldier in Iraq who would have been shot in the heart, but he had an iPod in his chest pocket and it stopped the bullet. I'll see if I can find it.

                              EDIT: Here's the story.
