Vanessa Threatens Zac Over Videogame Habit

"Computer Widows" are an old phenomena. Personally I think it comes down to whether she's interested in him, or his attention and the things he can do for her.
My immediate guess here however given the Disney angle is that this is being staged to make a point. Disney jumping on the whole "gaming addiction" thing for the sake of attention, and seeming active in a current issue. This stage however is a bad sign because Disney has a tendency to pick the winning side of most societal issues, as it is their business to be popular. Of course given the lack of action by the gaming industy in general more or less makes the multi-front attack a sure victory simply by a lack of serious opposition.
It's also noteworthy that should there be major action taken against games, leading to a reduction of "Hardcore" gamer titles and behavior, as well as a ban on ultra violent and sexy titles, Disney would stand to benefit. Disney produces a surprising amount of software directed at kids and casual gamers, a lot of which is overlooked because of more "serious" games. Without their games competing for the attention of kids, tweens, and teens with the current range of titles (including sadly enough M rated games due to a lack of parental supervision), they could become a major force. The Disney name implies safety and wholesomeness despite the occasonal scandal, and with far less competition their studios and experience with that kind of "family" software could see some major success.
Too early to consider that a definate, but consider where these celebrities are involved Disney DOES sort of stand to benefit (or so I would guess) from a collapse or reduction of serious gaming and titles. I can see where the timing is perfect to have their spokespeople project this kind of message.

Yeah, I'm not surprised.
I know what I'd choose, I'd kick her ass to the curb. I've got no problems being single if it means eventually finding a cool gamer girl to go shoot aliens with.Jaredin said:
Maybe I was a little to hard on Zac, im seeing a different side of him. Lets face it, relationships that form because of characters in movies arent really about relationships, they are pressure put on by media and people (yes I said it PEOPLE)
Good for him for breaking, what is considered by some, the norm
See I on the other hand have a girlfriend who is human and knows that every now and then I need "guy time" to chill with the homies and knows that sometimes this means nothing more than playing Fallout 3 into the wee hours of the morning while talking to my room mate....
I get the best of both worlds XD

Interestingly enough, Zac Efron also likes Death Note [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OneOfUS].
Even though I'm not overly fond of the guy, it's good to see he's One of Us. ("ONE OF US! ONE OF US!")

Wait, why is this news? Also, despite how much I hate him, I'm on Zac's side. More elaborately, I'm on the videogames' side.
So one pretentious disney person turns out to be a bit normal while the other just makes themselves stupider and that much more conceited and stupid
But we kick'm to the curb unless they look like mick Jagger...
IM sorr where was i?
Hmm, Id choose Venessa over Xbox.

He is Zac Efron. Let her dump him and he could find a girlfriend thats ten times hotter over Xbox Live. If she is that threatened by a console, she should look inside and stop thinking that if he stops playing it will fix their relationship because if a console is enough to make you want to end it, you won't last long.
