Un-… plug… the… com-… pu-… ter! Not to mention shove or kick Jason out the door, Andy!

Take him somewhere , where there is no Wi-Fi, and no cell-phone coverage too.

Minecraft doesn’t, yet, have Zombie Rabbits. But you CAN summon a Killer Bunny using the /summon rabbit ~ ~ ~ {RabbitType:99} command.

Also, unmodified Minecraft doesn’t have firearms. Swords, Bow & arrows, and crossbows are the usual weapons although you can kill with a pickax, ax, etc.

Yes. Get outside. Enjoy nature. Exercise….while I am on the computer reading the funnies.

A weirdo like that kid could cause a lot of trouble outside.

You’d think Andy would learn by now that whenever Jason does go outside it never ends well.

I wonder what game he was playing?

Now go out side… while I sit here in my chair under the lamp and read….

It didn’t start with computers or video games. When I was a kid, I wanted to stay inside and read. Like Woody Allen, I am at two with nature.

Jason is just not creative enough. He needs to think outside of the Xbox.

Jason, there’s more to life than hunting zombie rabbits in otherwise picturesque fields. I know, shocking, but surprisingly, it’s true.

Ironically I grew up miles from anyone else immersed in nature and if anything it made me less natureful because I lived too far away from anyone else to do anything outside.

It’s definitely playing; playing pretend.

Thankfully, there were no home computers when I was a kid.

Explain the difference between ‘virtual’ and ‘reality’. ‘Reality’ does have a reset button, but has a nice fresh smell.

She should have cut him off right when he asked her if she was crazy.

Nerd to nerdier: “Lets go eat our lunches outside!”

Nerdier: “Outside??”

Nerd: “You know: That biiiiig room with the blue ceiling and one very bright light.”

Jason should have used the Holy Hand-grenade.

As a player of Lord of the Rings Online, I resent the accusation that I’m not outside enough. I travel many kilometers daily!

From what I’ve seen in the past, in front of the computer is one of the safer places Jason can be, totally focused on that screen. Set him loose outdoors and he starts to THINK…
