I must confess I was thinking of that cartoon when I wrote the above,
but I couldn't find the actual cartoon in my book collection. Didn't
think of looking for it on the net. Maybe if I were a gamer I would
have associated cartoons with the internet ?

They do have their good sides, but I think any fair analysis would
show a lot of potential problems as well.
The biggest thing I don't understand is why they all seem to have to
involve violent killing, the more so the better. Surely there must be
a way to develop hand/eye coordination without mass murder.
