video games addiction learn relationships

And I quote:
===============
My real insights came from the original "Super Mario Brothers," which taught me more about relationships than Jerry Springer, Ann Landers and Confucius combined:

Lesson no. 1: If someone gets between you and your woman, you should either stomp on his head or light him on fire.

Lesson no. 2: Look before you leap into that green pipe of commitment, or else the piranha plant of emotional baggage might bite you in the butt.

And, most importantly, lesson no. 3: You can search all you want for the girl of your dreams – you can brave the dungeon of vulnerability, avoid the fireballs of embarrassment and dodge the dragon of apocalyptic, life-shattering rejection – but seven times out of eight your only reward will be a midget in a vest saying, "Sorry, your princess is in another castle."
