And they appeal to a younger demographic.<br /><br />How does that make you feel about movie stars that try to use their celebrity status to influence voting? Think they have some egos on them, or what?Dr. Tuftehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17397586052171706438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169279.post-1100542540531865502004-11-15T11:15:00.000-07:002004-11-15T11:15:00.000-07:00Video games are becoming the next big hobby.

The most fascinating being the demograhic reality that is now showing that most video gamers come from the 18-34 age group. Aren't video games supposed to be for kids?
