Put Down the Controller ‘Cause That Video Game Might Literally Be Making You Violent
Question for you guys — when you played video games as young men, did you ever get so frustrated that you threw the controller across the room and suffered through a screaming, clawing tantrum? Well, it may not be entirely your fault.
