Welcome to the latest edition of GameSpotting, where we've made two identical versions of the feature in hopes of boosting page views. If this goes well, we'll soon follow up with an animated series, a collectible card game, plush dolls, backpacks, a theme park attraction, lunchboxes, and whatever else our licensing department can come up with. Anyway, while we get the likeness rights sorted out for all the individual editors, go ahead and peruse our latest editorial ramblings. You can also go to the forums to discuss this week's columns, or submit your own GuestSpotting column.

Sorry, Video Games Are Real: Just Not the Way You Think
Aaron McMillan/GuestSpotter
"It is entirely possible, and common, for harmless aims to result in negative consequences. Defending something by calling it entertainment is not to defend it at all."
