And that's supposedly healthy. . . eh. . .

That was the topic of the BBC article... questioning if it is healthy or not.

Anything to extremes is not healthy.

DragonQuest is 30. This has been and probably always will be my absolute favorite game series.

Interesting article, points to the fact that they may have crossed into Canada potentially, I really hope that this is the case that they are missing by their own choice of action =/. Also I'm not going to lie, this action by trump threw me off:

"The event aims to inspire young people to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and maths.

However, it made the news earlier this month after a team of girls from Afghanistan were initially not allowed to attend the competition because of visa problems.

But US President Donald Trump stepped in at the last minute and the girls were able to travel to the US and participate."

Trump? Helped? Huh?
