It's easy to decry video games as a menace to society but in a world where MMOs save adorable, tow-headed Norwegian children from a deadly moose, can they really be that bad?

The comments on this article were the best part. A running comedy show of one-liners, puns, and cut-downs.

Gaming has it's place in many a young child's life. (and a few of us oldsters too!) It's great that his experience in his game helped him in a real life situation.
