Love, Hate, Kill
Do games affect or reflect society and our environment? Sounds like a nasty question for an essay, so to save you the trouble of thinking we present you with a collection of ready made answers: simply take a biro and scribble our witterings onto the relevant part of your brain. Memory is at the back somewhere, you might need to find an adult and some sharp scissors to help.
Trust us, we’re doctors.
Steal that one!
This week, we’ve all been admiring Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and then running around outside, kicking seven shades of shit out of everyone we see, and only stopping to admire the beauty of the setting sun. SICKBOY has the review on the game you’re likely to be playing already, SHEWROG appears to be admiring the weather and JIMAROID just sits at the back making tut noises. To round off your gaming squareness AHCHAY gets into a flap with Joust, and then another kind of flap with world events.
This won’t hurt…
Be a man, let us smash our original videogaming spirit into your jaw.

'Things to do' this week should include a visit to this wonderful videogame art site that our mate Matt found - loads of classic games turned into computer desktops. We've all chosen the Asteroids one because we're so post modern.
While you're at it, how about writing for WotR? We pay shit-all but you do get a lovingly hand-crafted webpage made that you can then show your Mum and prove that you wouldn't have been better off 'staying in your room wanking' rather than playing videogames on the family telly. Give us 1000 words on games and make it personal, emotional and interesting. We like a nice mix of memories, views on current gaming events, or stories about how videogaming got you your first shag. Yeah, that actually happened.
