I'm afraid I have to disagree with the OP. Most sores are very much open. In fact, mine are even weeping. While it's true that not all sores are festering and oozing, a great many are, indeed, open.
My main man, Darius Turbines? Shit, that dude was one crazy motherfucker! This one time, he was all up on the Jersey Turnpike and shit! And I was all, and he was all, and we were all!
Of COURSE videogames affect your brain. During the Tetris craze of the late 80's I would not only DREAM Tetris, I would DAY dream Tetris. I distinctly recall sitting in various highschool classes, staring up at the ceiling, and "playing" Tetris with the drop-ceiling tiles!
And, yes, before anyone asks, I DID have the high-score.
Once, long ago, I was both foolish enough to be wearing a small silver hoop earring, and willing to stick my head inside a computer case in order to determine if the hard drive was spinning up at power on. ..
No, the hard drive was not spinning up, and yes a silver hoop earring makes a great conductor when touching motherboard circuitry. ..
A loud pop, a nice electical zap to the head, and a stinky cloud of smoke from the fried capacitors in the power supply brought multiple insults to a minor injury. ..

You could afford an Atari 800? With actual depressable keys? With switches?!
All I could afford was an Atari 400, with membrane keypad!
I have to say, though, the exernal tape drive that used regular 60 minute audio casettes
to store data was kick-ass. Both because you could listen to your stored programs played back on your Walkman, as well as being
able to listen to Quiet Riot through your TV in mono!

Maître d': Oh sir. .
Mr. Creosote: Look - I couldn't eat another thing. I'm absolutely stuffed. Bugger off.
Maître d': Oh sir, just. .
Mr. Creosote: Oh all right. Just one.

BOOM!
Maître d': Thank you, sir, and now the check.
