    Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music.

    Are you sure? This sound like an average dance or trance party to me ;)

    only the color of the pills have changed, they are mostly blue now
