Seriously folks, as many of you know, if you have a parent or other family member that’s having a hard time learning the basics of using a computer like dragging-and-dropping, double clicking, opening applications, etc., get a game in front of them, preferably of the Solitaire, Mine Sweeper, Peggle or Bejeweled variety. They’ll be clicking away in no time, guaranteed!

Considering the vast amounts of time my mom has spent alternating between Bejeweled 2, Peggle and Solitaire, and understanding that I just recently finished Grand Theft Auto IV, a game that came out in April, I think it’s entirely truthful at this point to say my mom spends more time playing videogames than I do. No joke, she takes her high scores more seriously in those games than I do my Gamerscore on XBOX Live. I’m actually not ashamed of this, but am in fact, proud.
