British magazines rule.
Not video games, but…
The “badass gamer dude would rather game than have sex with his gorgeous girlfriend” trope popped up more than once in '90s/early '00s ads and such.

Or in this case, the very shortsighted badass gamer dude.
Maybe that’s why he’s ignoring her. He doesn’t actually know she exists.
They’re not saying games are better than sex. They’re clearly asking that question right in the cover. This is investigative journalism. They’ll go wherever the truth leads them.
If you don’t hate everyone involved with the production of this trailer by the time it ends, it’s probably because you’ve muted the audio.

Not video game related, but I ran across the scariest clown since Pennywise while shopping for kid’s party favors on Amazon (and apparently the kids won’t be caught wearing this stuff either):
Wow, surprised the smiling pile of shit on the bottom left made it into the photo.
Also, why are both boys wearing plaid? Is plaid back in fashion? Why does nobody tell me these things?!
At first I thought you were being particularly cruel to one of the young models, but then I looked at the picture again. Yikes! How did that happen?

Is the World really watching me while I am playing games? I did not know this. Now I feel self-conscious.
I liked the USB plug gag @10 sec though.
