A Boston mother called 911 this past weekend because her 14-year-old son was playing video games into the middle of the night, refusing to fall asleep.
Police say that the call came in at 2:30 Am Saturday, with the mother also complaining that her son was walking through the house and turning on all the lights.
Police actually responded to the call, showing up at their doorstep to talk some sense into the boy and send him straight to bed.
Apparently the game he was playing was Grand Theft Auto, an M-rated game (think R-rated film) which is not to be sold to minors due to its content. How the child got a copy of the game is unclear, but he probably shouldn’t be playing it, especially without his parent’s consent.
Perhaps next time the mother should just take the game away rather than call up the cops for a pep talk. It would be a bit more effective than sending him to his room and asking that he fall asleep right next to it.

In it, you got [...]
Man, Nintendo certainly had a lot of awesome merchandising back in the day. In game-branded food alone there was Nintendo-themed cereal, mac-and-cheese and fruit snacks. Way better than those shitty mint tins they now sell at FYE and Newbury Comics. But here’s a Nintendo product you definitely should not eat: The Legend of Zelda Model Set. Currently [...]
(NOTE: This was a contribution to a feature that ran @NintendoLife about the 25th Anniversary of the NES. You should go read it.) The first video game I ever saw was Kung-Fu for the NES. My older sister’s friend down the street had just gotten the system, so she kindly escorted me down to their [...]
