businessman video game

This week, downloads for Pokemon Go have surpassed 75 million, USA Today reported, and it has not even yet launched in every international market.

It stands to reason that Pokemon Go may be making video-game players of people who had never previously played a video game. But video games are not just for kids: In fact, according to a 2016 report (PDF) about the video game industry, the average game-player is 35 years old, and 48 percent of U.S. households own a dedicated gaming console.

So this week, we’d like to ask you: Do you ever play video games? If so, do you ever take brief gaming breaks during your work day? What games do you play and why?

Posted by Head Curmudgeon: “I attended law school at Vanderbilt from 1963-1966. It was the hardest three years of my life. We went to school six days a week. We stood up to recite. We had number grades and 85 was ‘A.’ I wouldn’t take anything for my Vanderbilt degree, but it was not pleasant.”

Posted by mkilgus: “Law school was the first time I could use any word I wanted, or talk about any subject I wanted, and people understood what I was saying. I loved law school for the people.”
