But is this true for how much time we spent playing video games? Today's study examines this question, showing how much our genes contribute to playing.

I loved trolling him in the Donut/Coffee Shop when we'd have deep, detailed conversations about hockey. The guy was a hockey genius. He was a non-violent person, however, when successfully trolled he got angry in a very particular way and exhibited very particular physical patterns. Years later I met his nephew. The exact same small triggers angered him in the same way, and his micro-reactions during this anger spurts were identical. I never would've thought stuff like that could be genetic.
