Playing Four Hours of Video Games Every Day Is Good for Your Mental Health
Repeat after me: You’re not “wasting four hours a day playing video games” . . . you’re “devoting four hours a day to wellness.”
According to a new study out of Oxford University, playing video games can be GOOD for your mental health. The researchers found people who played video games had a better sense of wellbeing than people who didn’t.
The researchers specifically tested “Animal Crossing” for Nintendo and found, quote, “If you play four hours a day of ‘Animal Crossing’, you’re a much happier human being.”

Jack Black gets ridiculous in his ‘WAP’ dance video
Jack Black has been joyful, silly, and playful for years in our ears with Tenacious D and on-screen in many films. He delivered his always-having-fun attitude on social media this week by dawning some short-shorts and getting soaked by hose as he twerked down his own version of the uber-popular ‘WAP’ dance from Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B. As you can see below, he owned it.
Now we know the song is controversial to some, draw the ire of talk show host Ben Shapiro who read the edited lyrics of ‘WAP’ on his show. As Justin of the KQX Morning Crew put it, it was not supposed to be funny but it was.

Dad unfortunatley removes his own eyebrows by mistake
Listen, to the Dads out there who do not know how to properly apply the rejuvenating facial masks: please ask for help!
Over in Scotland this Dad (or “Dah”) paid the price. He removed his own eyebrows when he did not read the instructions correctly. The video proof sees his kids cackling with laughter at the results.
You can watch it all peel into a disaster here.
Speaking with the Mirror, he said the following:
“She said everywhere except your eyes, so I put it everywhere except my eyes. How was I to know you weren’t meant to put it on your eyebrows and lips?”

XBox warns players to “not blow vape smoke” into new console.
Did you get your hands on the new Series X console? Good for you — because it’s nearly impossible to snag the new XBox or Playstation 5, for that matter. In fact, they’ve been going for up to 4X the price on eBay. Ouch.
If you do have one, it would be my advice to, you know — just play games on it. And not blow vape smoke into it, like many people have been in videos on social media.
We can’t believe we have to say this, but please do not blow vape smoke into your Xbox Series X.
