Im your host Andrea Rene with the latest gaming news. An Oklahoma lawmaker introduced a bill that would impose a tax on games deemed "violent." The money raised from the new tax would go towards the battle against childhood obesity and bullying. . The bill is dubbed HB 2699 and add a 1% tax to all videos games deemed violent, meaning specifically, "a video or computer game that has received a rating from the Entertainment Software Ratings Board of Teen, Mature, or Adult Only." . Are they seriously trying to tell me that they want to classify games like Starcraft 2, Dance Central 2, and Zumba Fitness 2 as VIOLENT?! This is crazy! Or maybe State Representative William Fourkiller is crazy! He is the guy that introduced the bill. .

Distress is a board game with a simple concept: Be the first player to send your four game pieces all the way around the board, moving spaces determined by rolls of the dice. The “distress” of the title comes when an opponent’s piece lands on a space occupied by your piece, thus sending yours back to the beginning. Parents will likely remember the game from their youth, or at least remember the game’s signature gimmick, the pop-o-matic dice roller. The Pop-o-matic is a dome-shaped clear plastic housing for the dice in the center of the board game that automatically tumbles the dice when pressed down and released. This feature, plus the board’s plastic slots that hold the game pieces in place, make Distress a perfect journey game–car or boat motion won’t upset the game’s progress.
