More Americans Play Video Games Than Go To Movies
New research from the NPD Group has found that the number of Americans who play video games has surpassed the number who go to movies. In a survey of over 11,000 people, 63% had played a video game within the past six months, while only 53% had gone to a movie. They also found that the purchase of game consoles was on the rise, as were new methods of accessing the games themselves, such as playing over a social networking site or downloading a game onto a mobile phone. The report said, "the average gamer spent just over $38 per month on all types of gaming content" in the first three months of 2009, adding that "video games account for one-third of the average monthly consumer spending in the US for core entertainment content, including music, video, games."
I'd play more video games myself, but I've been waiting like 15 years for Duke Nukem Forever to come out! Now, what am I going to do?!?!
Can the MPAA sue us for that?
Are you this guy?
Oh yeah? I've never even *used* a computer.

Yes it's.
IMAX recently started selling out and allowing theaters with smaller screens to use the IMAX brand. Be careful when you choose an IMAX theater... it may not be what you expect.
So when is the new IMAX iPhone app coming out? You know what they say. 2 i's are better than 1!

There is no similarity between Snake Plissken and Duke Nukem.
Kurt Russell's masterful performance in Escape from New York was far more nuanced and interesting than Duke Nukem, who at best was two dimensional.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Aye aye, cap'n.
Then call the new one by its actual title. [imdb.com]
"tt0438488" doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, though.
... and then they built the supercollider.
