Don’t pretend this hasn’t been on your minds, parents. You bought the kids Fallout 3, Gears of War 2, and the like, but are you making sure they’re getting the proper lessons they need from these games? The Onion presents a few viewpoints on this subject.

On a side note, I hate it when they make it clear they haven’t played the game. What cyborgs? And grenades were useless in Fallout 3! “Customized Sniper Rifle to the dome” is the message I took home.
