?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.?

if that quote had affected anandtech, we would all be mindless drones that come here despite errors that prevent us

 

It's misquoted.

It's a raver thing.
