First PC game I can remember playing, I was trying to prove that I could be better at it than my mum. Do you have any idea how destrictive to a childs self esteem to be worse at a game than his mother?

"Thirdly, if you were paying attention (but you haven't been, because you're a gamer) you would know that video games really do fry your brain. See Harvard, Indiana, and Michigan State brain studies. So, if the fried brains reference bothers you, go cry to Harvard, if you are still able to read a map."

Were any of these the universities that proved that kangaroos could not possibly exist?
I've been playing video games since the age of seven. The first video game I can remember playing has a 15 rating on it.
If my brain is so fried, how come I'm getting the best or second best average marks in my entire school year.

"Fourthly, "video game culture" is an oxymoron so funny that Dennis McCauley doesn't get it. Any person who understands culture and history and, oh, reality gets it. Again, that is why you don't get it."

Culture: "A complex of typical behaviour or standardised social charictaristics particular to a certain group, occupation, or profession." (websters third dictionary)

We are gamers and you have defined gamers as a group in the past. We have some fairly standardised behaiviour, like killing aliens, and, for the most part, laughing at you. Define how video gamers aren't a culture.

"If you want to complain about my news releases, then please tell me how many national shows you've been on because of your brilliantly conceived and executed news releases. I've been on 60 Minutes twice, Today eight times, BBC and other UK telecasts probably ten times, Good Morning America twice, Paula Zahn's programs five times (she's incredibly beautiful in person, by the way. want her autograph?), and about 60 other shows, including Oprah (she's a pain).

So,my press releases work just fine. How yours coming?"

My familys pet dog, Woody, has been on TV more often than that. Adolf Hitler, Richard Nixon, and at least one person in my school class have all been on TV. This all means very little about their accuracy.

It says, very clearly, at the top of this page:
"or keep reading for an extremely condensed, schoolyard-style summary of what was said.".

It nowhere claims to be a transcript of the whole interveiw.
