It takes an ancient theme (unrequited love) and puts it in a contemporary context (the object of her love keeps ignoring her, retreating into video games).
‘Video Games’ really is a lovely track, and one that deserves to be heard if you haven’t heard it already.
It is in the final pa...
Whhaaaaatt!? Video game no hurt Brain!! :O
Seriously though this is nonsense, there is absolutely no proof that games have any ill effect on a persons health or psyche.
