The Boston Festival of Independent Games and Massachusetts Digital Games Institute thought that was pretty funny too.

Perhaps it would be worth looking at where all that money comes from, then.

In 2012 US consumers spent $8.4 billion on console games, including your preorders of Medal of Honor Warfighter and Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor.

That same year the Candy Crush crowd spent $6.5 billion on casual websites, mobile gaming and social network based games.

Not much, but the Americans would like everybody in the world to know that theirs is bigger.

And a Canadian football field is 110 yards with a 55 yard line right in the middle.

"Nigel gave me a drawing that said 18 inches. Now, whether or not he knows the difference between feet and inches is not my problem. I do what I'm told."
