Tivo Alert: Playing to Win on CNBC Tonight

So after watching it I'm pleasently surprised, it was a very fair even-handed portrayel. The violence stuff did come earlier than I would have preferred but at least it was short and they showed all the research that shows that there isn't a connection between games and violence. I especially liked that it was people from the industry talking without any of the shrill folks who like to make things up.

All in all I'm pleased with the show, it was mostly complimentary and took a nice look at were the industry is going; still hate the announcer though.

At 15 minutes in we are already talking about violence, still it is funny that the nintendo guys doesn't even remember that the blood in mortal kombat got turned into sweat. ESRB is talking now, I dunno I'll give it the benefit of the doubt until the end. 

As an investor, I watch CNBC on occasion, and I have yet to hear something vaguely intelligent on that channel.  In fact, I'm quite convinced that the reason so many dumb people are in the business world is because all the smart people are scientists doing stuff like curing cancer.  Or making video games.
