On a completely lighter note I found this forum post which was a follow on from this article. Being a father myself I can completely relate to what the article is about and it is a thoroughly enjoyable read, shame really that there isn't a few more Female gamers out there instead of all the highly charged testosterone fuelled teens.

For months leading up to my son's birth, I heard seasoned parent gamers who play on the upwards of 30+ hours a week say, "Be prepared for your entire life to change. You'll be lucky if you get any time to game." Frankly, this scared me. Gaming has always been a great tool for me to wind down and de-stress. With a kid on the way, I couldn't imagine getting rid of one of my most effective relaxation techniques. I knew had to figure out a way to balance out the baby's needs with my own, but with little knowledge of what the days ahead would be like, I really didn't know how difficult it was going to be.
