This from News of the Weird:
"In June, addiction experts at an American Medical Association meeting discussed whether to consider "video game addiction" as a distinct mental illness (ultimately deciding to await further study), but one month later, in Reno, Nev., a couple in their early 20s were arrested and charged with abusing their two toddlers by ignoring them for long stretches of time while playing the game Dungeons & Dragons. According to prosecutors, Michael and Iana Straw had plenty of food in their house, but both babies were found severely malnourished and ill in a home marked by squalor except for the expensive computer equipment that occupied the couple nearly all their waking moments."
My guess is the children foolishly refused to roll up characters, and thus were left to fend for themselves.

Damn kids... giving gamers a bad rap with their "needs". Just inconsiderate of them to do this to a person. Don't they realize the importance of running that next dungeon? The fate of the fucking world rests upon those adventurers killing that boss mob.
