The Video Game Portal
Video game addiction (VGA), also referred to as gaming disorder by the WHO, is the common term given to the phenomenon whereby an individual becomes mentally reliant on video games. The condition is characterised by the individual's tendency to believe that computer games actully are 'real life' and vice versa. This can have varied consequences, ranging from the incredibly violent to the clinically insane depending upon the video game and individual in question.
As of December 2020, it has been reported that searching "video game a", the phrase "video game addiction" appears near or at the top, suggesting that video game addiction is becoming increasingly common. (Full article...)

| Subtitled footage of Kennedy's All Your Base speech is available in the National Archives. |
When former US president John F. Kennedy made his famous speech in Berlin in 1963, it was this phrase that galvanised his audience. Legal disputes over just this issue had already led to the Cuban Missile Crisis where a minor disagreement about import duty on thermo-nuclear warheads led to a major falling out between the United States and Cuba. The Bay of Pigs fiasco followed, and America ended up with Guantanamo Bay. Kennedy, however, realized that this meant that many parts of Germany could technically still be considered part of America. This remains the case today.
The unusual syntax of the famous phrase is officially attributed to a typo by the Japanese speechwriter Cats San.
