Here’s a bizarre letter that appears in the latest issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly under the heading “Misplaced Priorities” :

On July 4th, North Korea shot five missiles toward Tokyo as a test launch. Thankfully, the test failed and the missiles landed harmlessly in the ocean. But what if the missiles had hit Tokyo? Games like The Legend of Zelda : Twilight Princess, Super Mario Galaxy, and Metal Gear Solid 4 would not see stateside release. Unfortunately, it is a fact that most of the gaming world originates in Tokyo, and a large-scale attack on that city could certainly spell problems from obsessed U.S. fans. North Korea is likely to attack again in the near future. If successful, do you think that it could spell the end of gaming (at least as we know it)? - Chris Day

In the event of a nuclear attack on Tokyo, we’re pretty sure you’ll have other things to worry about, like being drafted.

It’s amazing that this guy was able to put down his controller long enough to see the news.
